Binance - Make a transaction on BNB or BSC chains

Binance has two types of chains, BNB and BSC.

BNB is the native token of both chains.

BNB Smart Chain (BSC) - BEP20

In the Tatum API, we call its currency with the symbol "BSC".

BSC chain supports smart contracts and decentralized applications (DApps) since it's EVM compatible.
