The Binance Smart Chain (BSC) is essentially a blockchain that runs in parallel to the Binance Chain.
BSC differentiates itself in numerous ways as a means of enabling a higher level of functionality as well as utility for developers that aim to build on top of it. This is achieved through its introduction of smart contract functionality, alongside full compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM).
Both blockchains operate side-by-side. However, BSC is not a layer-two or off-chain scalability solution but an independent blockchain that can run at points in time even if the other blockchain fails or goes offline.
These are programs that live on top of the blockchain and can be executed when predetermined conditions that are coded to them are met. This means that the BSC is able to allow developers the ability to build dApps in a cross-chain network.
Binance Smart Chain utilizes a dual-chain architecture, where the goal is for users to be able to seamlessly transfer assets from one blockchain to another blockchain. Through this, rapid trading can be utilized across the network, whilst powerful dApps can be built using it.
Binance Smart Chain (BSC) achieves a 3-second block time through the utilization of its Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus algorithm known as Proof of Staked Authority (or PoSA), where participants stake BNB to become validators. What this means is that if they propose a block that is valid, they can get transaction fees from the transactions that are included in it.
For developing your decentralized application (dApp) or creating a smart contract on top of the BSC network you can connect to a BSC node via NOWNodes API key on the FREE tariff plan or any paid plan.
All you have to do is enter your email address, click on "GET FREE API KEY," and visit the official documentation that will take you over each of the codes and commands on how to connect. Additionally, you can find the full node list here.
By leveraging the power of NOWNodes's Binance Smart Chain (BSC) Block explorer, you will establish a connection to a block explorer that will always be maintained and monitored by the service for you.
When it comes to the type of information you can get through the utilization of the BSC explorer, you can gain valuable information surrounding the block height, transaction status, wallet balances, and similar types of information.
