Binance is a blockchain ecosystem comprised of Exchange, Labs, Launchpad and BNB Chain. The platform is one of the most popular and fastest-growing crypto exchanges in the world. Founded in 2017, it has quickly risen to become one of the largest in terms of volume and users. Binance Labs is the venture arm of Binance, investing in early-stage blockchain projects. Labs provide the resources, network, and expertise that entrepreneurs need to grow their businesses. Binance Launchpad is the exclusive token launch platform providing projects with access to fundraising, education and industry resources. BNB Chain is a centralized fork of Ethereum that has fewer network validators, which makes it less secure, but with cheaper transaction fees.
