We’d like to show you how BNB has grown its utility and significance over time. Origins When Binance launched in July 2017, it introduced BNB, a cryptocurrency that allows users to pay for trading fees at a discounted rate on the Binance exchange. The 50% trading fee discount offered by the token during Binance’s first year, which has been adjusted to the current 25% rate, was the first of many use cases where BNB has driven Binance’s global ecosystem growth. Since its inception, BNB has increasingly developed its functions and use cases, and has cemented its role as one of the most widely-used utility tokens in the blockchain space. BNB Drives Binance’s Expansion. Crypto Research - Crypto Report. Research - GO.

Research - BTT. BitTorrent (BTT) Tokenizing the world’s largest decentralized file sharing protocol Many internet users today are familiar with the BitTorrent peer-to-peer protocol invented by Bram Cohen that powers the torrent clients used around the world. The addition of the BTT token extends the familiar protocol to create a token-based economy for networking, bandwidth, and storage resources on the existing Bittorrent network, thus providing a way for network participants to capture the value of sharing bandwidth and storage. Users of torrent clients are familiar with challenges such as slow downloads and files that become unavailable over time. By creating incentives for users to share, the token will enable faster download speeds and better swarm longevity for the entire network.
