What are BEP-20 tokens?

BEP-20 is a token standard on the BNB Smart Chain (BSC). It extends ERC-20 (Ethereum token standard) and BEP-2 (BNB Beacon Chain standard) tokens.

You can use BEP-20 tokens in several ways, such as:

• Move your tokens between different blockchains;
• Use compatible tokens on different blockchains;
• Peg tokens from other blockchains and make them available on the BNB Chain (e.g., pegged Bitcoin as BTCB);
• Swap BEP-2 tokens for BEP-20 equivalents (e.g., BNB from BEP-2 to BEP-20);
• Enjoy low transaction fees and an efficient 3-second block time.
