BNB Chain has taken a stride towards the much-awaited public launch of its opBNB mainnet.
The platform, designed to enhance scalability through layer 2 solutions, has now gone live for infrastructure providers.
The opBNB mainnet is a pivotal part of the BNB Chain ecosystem, focusing on leveraging Optimistic Rollups within the OP Stack.
This integration brings forth benefits like reduced gas fees, enhanced network stability, and heightened security.
The impact of opBNB's implementation could reverberate across various sectors, including gaming, decentralised exchanges (DEXs), and digital collectibles.
The recent activation of the opBNB mainnet for infrastructure providers marks a significant juncture. This achievement sets the stage for the imminent public launch, poised to attract a fresh influx of developers and projects.
Binance, a major player in the blockchain sphere, introduced the opBNB testnet on June 19.
Subsequently, they revealed the "Odyssey" promotion, signaling the forthcoming deployment of the protocol's mainnet.
The official announcement took place on August 10.
During the testnet phase, the BNBChain community recorded over 7 million on-chain transactions.
The daily transaction volume ranged from 100,000 to 150,000.
Furthermore, the testnet period showcased the engagement of more than 6,000 daily active users, along with the deployment of 40 decentralised applications (dApps).
