What is BNB (BNB)?

BNB is first of all a fuel token. Every transaction on BNB Smart Chain, every token approval, every contract call is paid for in BNB, and the chain charges it in the same way Ethereum charges ETH. That single fact shapes how you hold it: if you own any BEP-20 token at all, you need loose BNB in the same wallet or those tokens are frozen in place. People discover this the hard way when they move an entire BNB balance out and find they can no longer send the tokens left behind.

Fees are small, so the working balance you keep for gas does not have to be large. Part of every fee paid is destroyed, and the supply is reduced further by scheduled burns, so the total in existence declines over time rather than inflating.

BNB can also be delegated to validators, who are elected by the amount staked behind them; delegation locks the coins for a period and involves no transfer of ownership.

A representation of BNB also exists as a token on Ethereum. It shares the name but is not the coin that pays for BNB Smart Chain gas.

Supported networks in Tangem (3): BNB Beacon Chain, BNB Smart Chain, Ethereum. Since signing is a tap of the card against the phone, topping up gas or paying a fee takes a second and needs no cable, no charging and no separate device, which suits a coin you spend in small amounts constantly rather than one you park. That is the practical case for keeping your gas balance in a Tangem card.
