What's all the fuss about BNB Greenfield?

aligncenter wp-image-271200 size-full

So, what's the deal with Greenfield? You pay storage providers in BNB tokens to store your digital data. You pick the provider based on reputation, price, or any criteria that floats your boat. Your data gets split into smaller bits and stored off-chain.

You're in control: set permissions, payment methods, and access your data via APIs. It's like crypto for data—you decide who gets their hands on it!

The cherry on top? BNB is used for payments, giving it a nice price boost.

Here's what you can do with Greenfield:

  • Web Hosting: Pick any storage provider and host a censorship-resistant site that anyone can access.
  • Data Swapping: Let dApps on BNB Chain swap data using Greenfield as the go-to data layer—no more messy on-chain data.
  • File Sharing: Share files securely and decentralised. So many possibilities!
BNB Chain's calling for testnet developers, promising rewards for Greenfield builders. Although the mainnet launch isn't expected till Q3 2023, keep your eyes peeled!

Why's BNB Greenfield a game-changer?

  • More control: Decide who accesses, uses, and profits from your data.
  • Censorship-resistant: Even without full on-chain storage, it's better than centralized cloud providers.
  • Extra utility: Want to use Greenfield? You need BNB!
BNB Chain's offering rewards for testnet devs, so stay tuned for Greenfield's mainnet debut in Q3 2023!

The fastest-growing BNB Chain DeFi

aligncenter wp-image-271199 size-full

In our last digest, we mentioned Radiant Capital as a fast-growing DeFi protocol on BNB Chain. One week later, they're still killing it!

Since launching on March 28, Radiant has racked up nearly $100 million in total value locked (TVL)—talk about explosive growth!

Here's the secret sauce:

Radiant lets users deposit major assets from any big chain and borrow supported assets across multiple chains, thanks to LayerZero tech. Lenders earn interest, while borrowers get liquidity without selling assets or closing positions. Neat, right?

Their rapid growth secret? Smart moves. Before BNB Chain, they deployed on Arbitrum and used their native token, RDNT, to lure users. It paid off, but they had to sacrifice some revenue by giving out tokens.

Despite a rocky V1 launch, Radiant's V2 fixed issues like unsustainable emissions, insufficient runway, and low on-chain liquidity incentives. Earnings soared, and investor confidence grew.

Expanding to BNB Chain for the V2 launch was another genius move. Major competitor Aave hasn't arrived there yet, and Venus Protocol, the biggest lending protocol on BNB Chain, faces community concerns.

So, what's next for Radiant? They're eyeing other blockchains and adding more lending and borrowing tokens. Plus, a V3 upgrade will boost cross-chain interoperability with tighter LayerZero integration. Details are scarce, but we're all ears!

BNB’s price action 💵

So, BNB finally broke above $335 recently, but.. it didn't last long and now it's back below it again.

For things to really get going, BNB needs to turn that $335 mark into solid support on the weekly timeframe. If that happens, we'll be looking at a price jump to $430. But if it doesn't, well, BNB will keep sliding down towards the $310 - $300 zone in the next few weeks.

BNB’s ecosystem 🌎

So, the recent dip in BTC led to a drop in most asset prices, including the TVL on BNB Chain. It fell from $5.04B on April 6th to $4.83B, which is a 4% decline.

But hey, let's talk about two TVL growth champs:

  1. Radiant Capital:This BNB Chain superstar has seen its TVL skyrocket from $60 million on April 6th to $93 million on April 21st. Even though it launched just a month ago, it's already the second-largest lending protocol on the chain.
  2. Level Finance: This decentralised, non-custodial perpetual DEX has shown an impressive product-market fit. In just over two weeks, between April 6th and April 21st, its TVL shot up by 39% from $27M to $39.8M. Not too shabby, right?

Other news 📰

Cryptonary’s take 🧠

BNB Chain is doing a great job sticking to its 2023 tech roadmap. They've already launched the BNB Greenfield testnet, and they've cleverly reduced gas fees by 40% to compete with the likes of Arbitrum and Optimism.

Now, BNB is at a crucial point, and it's important to avoid further ranging. If it manages to turn $335 into support on the weekly timeframe, we could see some sweet gains. However, if it doesn't, prices will slide down.

As for DeFi on BNB Chain, TVL growth has been a bit sluggish overall. But, there are two standout performers: Radiant Capital and Level Finance. These two have nailed their product-market fit on the blockchain and are consistently growing their TVL at a rapid pace.
