It acts as the native coin of the BNB Beacon Chain, the BNB Smart Chain, and the opBNB L2s and BNB Greenfield blockchain. It also serves as a governance token and allows holders to transact with projects built on those chains.When BNB was launched in 2017, a commitment was made to remove 100 million BNB (half of its total supply) from circulation through a burning process. This ultimately will keep only 100 million BNB in circulation. This commitment is automatically honored each quarter and calculated according to the Auto-Burn formula. The BNB Auto-Burn provides an independently auditable, objective process. The figures are reported quarterly, and the mechanism is independent of the Binance centralized exchange. On top of that, BNB Chain continues to burn a portion of BNB Chain’s gas fees in real-time using the Real-Time-Burn mechanism. To learn more about the BNB Burn, refer to this Binance Academy article.Pioneer Burn ProgramThe Pioneer Burn Program also permanently removes an amount of BNB from circulation equal to provable lost funds by eligible BNB Chain users. This number is then counted towards the total quarterly burn figure.

As always, these are transparent and independently verifiable. Since the introduction of BEP95, roughly 146,650 BNB has been burnt under this mechanism.Further Reading24th BNB BurnWhat Is BNB?What Is a Coin Burn?What Is BNB Greenfield?
