The campaign kicks off with a video recap from BNB Chain’s avatar brand representative, “Nex”.<blockquote><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v&#61;C8T_QeLQMbc" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Watch BNB Chain’s 2023 Recap Video</a></blockquote>In 2023, BNB Chain launched its <a href="https://opbnb.bnbchain.org/en" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">opBNB</a> and <a href="https://greenfield.bnbchain.org/en" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BNB Greenfield</a> blockchains on testnet, before taking both through to launch on their respective mainnets. Doubling transaction speeds and reducing fees by 30 times, opBNB reached 1.2 million within three months of mainnet launch. BNB Greenfield is empowering users to control and monetize their data and is positioned to underpin the rise of decentralized AI. These platforms work interoperably with BNB Smart Chain (BSC) according to BNB Chain’s multichain and interoperability strategy to provide a streamlined user experience.<img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/optimized-uploads/9aca21f7f3324ba5b904db6749bd6605.png" />Both opBNB and BSC hit all-time highs for transactions in late 2023.
