Relayers and on-chain contracts are developed to support that. BNB Beacon Chain DEX remains a liquid venue of the exchange of assets on both chains.

As the native token, BNB will serve as both the gas of smart contract execution and tokens for staking. -More details in [White Paper](https://www.bnbchain.org/en#smartChain). +More details in [White Paper](https://github.com/bnb-chain/whitepaper/blob/master/WHITEPAPER.md). ## Key features @@ -34,18 +33,8 @@ To combine DPoS and PoA for consensus, BNB Smart Chain implement a novel consens 1.
