BNB Smart Chain

since 2020 · EVM, Binance network

Why BNB Smart Chain, who needs it, and how this network’s rules differ from the rest — short and to the point.

What for
Move and hold USDT cheaply, trade on PancakeSwap and other DEXes, join projects that picked BSC for low fees.
Who uses it
Binance users — the exchange often offers this network by default — and anyone who wants a cheap EVM.
Quirk
The network is run by a small set of validators tied to Binance: speed and price in exchange for more centralization than Ethereum.
Pitfalls

Four BNB Smart Chain rules worth knowing before you send

Not abstract “crypto risks,” but the rules of this network. For each — what happens, and how Mitilena shows it before the Send button.

Pitfall 01

A fake token with a real name

On BSC issuing a token costs about a dollar — so there are thousands of “USDT,” “BTC,” and “ETH” that are worth nothing. They arrive as bait, trade on DEXes, and get pitched as a “good swap.”

How we do it
The token card shows the contract address. Real USDT on BSC is 0x55d398326f99059fF775485246999027B3197955; anything else with that name is a fake.
Pitfall 02

A memo that is no longer needed

Until 2024 Binance also ran BNB Beacon Chain (BEP-2) with a required memo. That chain shut down, but old guides live on. If a venue asks for a memo for BNB — check the network: BNB Smart Chain has no memo.

How we do it
In Mitilena — BNB Smart Chain (BEP-20), no memo needed. A 0x… address is the sign of the right network.
Pitfall 03

Binance-Peg — a wrapper, not the original

Many tokens on BSC — BTC, ETH, DOGE, LTC and some stablecoins — are “Binance-Peg”: Binance IOUs backed by its reserves. One-to-one while the bridge and reserves hold.

How we do it
We show those tokens with the network marked. Need the coin on its home network — Mitilena has Bitcoin, Litecoin, Dogecoin, Ethereum next to it.
Pitfall 04

Gas in BNB even for USDT

Like any EVM network: a token transfer is paid in the native coin. You withdrew USDT on BSC with zero BNB — the token sits there and will not move.

How we do it
We estimate gas before you sign and warn if BNB is short. A little BNB — with a swap inside the wallet.

Tokens

Tokens on BNB Smart Chain: BEP-20

What there is
USDT on BSC is “Binance-Peg BSC-USD” from Binance against reserves; USDC has a Circle version. Plus thousands of project tokens and fakes with the same names.
Gas
A token transfer is paid in BNB. Without BNB on the address tokens stay stuck.
Freeze
Binance-Peg depends on Binance; stablecoins depend on the issuer — either can freeze an address. Nobody can freeze BNB on your address.
Fakes
Check the contract address, not the name. A token that “just appeared” on the address is better left alone: often bait for a site that asks for an “approval.”

FAQ

What people ask about BNB Smart Chain

What is the fee on BNB Smart Chain?

Cents. One of the cheapest EVM networks: a USDT transfer is usually under 10 cents.

Does a BNB transfer need a memo?

On BNB Smart Chain (BEP-20) — no. Memo was required on old BEP-2, shut down in 2024. If a venue asks for a memo — check the network.

Is USDT BEP-20 real USDT?

It is “Binance-Peg BSC-USD” — a Binance token against reserves. Trades one-to-one; the issuer is the exchange, not Tether. Fine for transfers; for large amounts — factor that in.

No BNB for gas. Buy a little BNB — Mitilena has a swap.
