BNB NOTE / BNB utility & rule watch

The BNB reading desk

For fees, start with holding costs. For balances, look at uses and conditions. For conflicting supply figures, open the burn records.

Uses & conditions

BNB Chain BEP status: Draft, Enabled and when a change goes live

A BEP page may say Draft, Candidate or Enabled, but that label does not tell you when a change took effect on mainnet. Using Pasteur, Mendel and BEP-95, see where to find the status, the hard fork activation time and the governance execution time.

Supply & burns

BNB on opBNB and Ethereum: does it add to total supply?

BNB shows up on opBNB and in a legacy ERC-20 contract on Ethereum. Adding those balances to the BSC figure double counts. Read the bridge contract, the official swap notes and a node query you can repeat.

Supply & burns

Is staked or locked BNB burned? How to count it in total supply

Over 25 million BNB sits in BSC validator staking contracts, and the old TokenHub cross-chain contract holds a similar amount. Both can be withdrawn, so neither comes off total supply. Contract evidence, node queries and the size of the error if you subtract them.
