BNB Chain has announced the celebration of its fifth anniversary with "BNB Day," a global campaign featuring community events, awards, and $480,000 in rewards.
According to BNB Chain’s official blog, the blockchain ecosystem began five years ago with the aim of onboarding the next billion users to Web3. Initially a single blockchain, it has expanded into a multi-chain ecosystem supporting decentralized finance (DeFi), gaming, and tokenization initiatives. This milestone marks BNB Chain's growth from an experiment to one of the most utilized smart contract blockchains in the industry.
Blockchain.News reported that the "BNB Day" celebration will span three weeks and include a community rewards pool exceeding $480,000. The campaign will feature on-chain quests, interactive activities, and live Ask-Me-Anything (AMA) sessions to engage participants across various Web3 sectors. Rewards will be allocated to areas such as artificial intelligence, decentralized finance, GameFi, and real-world asset tokenization, reinforcing BNB Chain’s focus on practical adoption of blockchain technology.
According to Markets Insider, BNB Chain’s anniversary campaign will also extend offline with five major in-person gatherings planned worldwide. These events are scheduled for Mumbai, Tokyo, Hong Kong, New York City, and São Paulo. They aim to provide opportunities for founders, builders, and community members to network while celebrating the milestone and encouraging dialogue on Web3 innovation.
As described by Binance, BNB Chain is a community-driven blockchain network that evolved from the earlier Binance Smart Chain project. The ecosystem includes the BNB Smart Chain (a Layer 1 blockchain), opBNB (a Layer 2 scaling solution), and BNB Greenfield (a decentralized data storage platform). Binance emphasizes that BNB Chain’s mission is to provide scalable, secure, and affordable infrastructure to accelerate mainstream Web3 adoption and innovation.
