What is Wrapped BNB (WBNB)?
WBNB exists to solve a formatting problem. BNB is the native coin of BNB Smart Chain, and native coins do not behave like tokens: contracts cannot receive them through a standard token interface, cannot be given an allowance over them, and cannot treat them interchangeably with everything else in a liquidity pool. Wrapping fixes that. You send BNB to the wrapper contract, it holds the BNB and issues you an equal amount of WBNB as a BEP-20 token, and the reverse redeems it. The rate is always one to one, and there is no issuer deciding anything about it.
What holders trip over is the pair of consequences. First, WBNB is not BNB: an address expecting a native coin deposit will not credit a token transfer, and a deposit sent the wrong way can be awkward to recover. Second, holding WBNB does not pay for anything. Fees on BNB Smart Chain are charged in native BNB, so unwrapping a WBNB balance, or even sending it, requires BNB you already hold. Wrapping every last unit leaves you unable to move.
That makes this a wallet where two related balances have to sit next to each other, and Tangem shows the native BNB and the WBNB token as separate lines in the same account, so the gas coin is visible before you commit to spending down the wrapped one. Keeping both under a key that never leaves the card is sensible for a balance you will keep wrapping and unwrapping.
