BNB can be used as a payment method, a utility token to pay for fees on the Binance exchange and for participation in token sales on the Binance laucnhpad.
Can’t Be Mined
We cannot mine BNB as we would a proof-of-work cryptotcurrency, since the Binance Blockchain uses BFT Byzantine Fault Tolerance consensus mechanism. Instead, there are validators that earn from securing the network by validating blocks.
You can buy BNB on the Ninance crypto exchange with a wire or bank transfer, a credit ard or debit card, or any other exchanges that offer the cryptocurrency .
