BNB Smart Chain launches its opBNB layer 2 testnet

Binance has announced the release of the opBNB testnet on the BNB Smart Chain (BSC).

The layer 2 product is touted as the answer to the scalability aspect of the blockchain trilemma – the other two aspects being security and decentralization.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin coined the term blockchain trilemma to describe a situation where developers are forced to forego one of the aspects in favor of the other two – as achieving all three aspects is impossible in the current state of technological development.

BSC is a fully compatible Ethereum Virtual Machine chain. #OPBNB #bitcoin
