The Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible L2 chain scalability solution based on Optimism OP Stack expands the BNB Chain ecosystem to provide cheaper gas fees for projects.
BNB Chain developers today said the opBNB network, a layer 2 based on OP Stack, is going live after months of testing in which no major bugs were encountered, CoinDesk learned.
A layer 2 refers to any off-chain network, system, or technology built on top of a base, or layer 1, blockchain. The OP Stack is the set of software that powers Optimism, an Ethereum layer 2 blockchain, that can be used by developers to create their own networks. Developers said they tested more than 35 million transactions and deployed some 150 applications on opBNB during the testing phase. The blockchain processed a maximum of 4,000 transactions per second in that period – a significantly bigger number than Ethereum’s“Scalability and security are the top priorities of opBNB,” said Arno Bauer, Senior Architect at BNB Chain, in a message to CoinDesk. “Before opening the mainnet to the public, stringent criteria had to be met.
