Citadel.one Overview: Binance Smart Chain
Binance Smart Chain ($BNB) is now integrated into Citadel.one
We are excited to finally announce that all planned works related to Binance Smart Chain integration to CItadel.one have been finished. This integration goes along with the future launch of the $XCT governance token of Citadel.one DAO that will be launching on BSC in the coming month. In this article we will introduce the basics of Binance Smart Chain and show in details what features will be available to BSC users of Citadel.one.
What is Binance Smart Chain
Binance Smart Chain was launched in April of 2019 as a result of the need to tackle the high transaction fees that were present on the Ethereum blockchain.
The network was built to run on smart contract based applications. BSC runs in tandem with the native Binance Chain(BC). This feature allows users to eat their Cake and have it in the sense that they get the best of both worlds: the high transactional capacity of Binance Chain and the Smart Contract functionality of BSC.
The aim of the platform was to enable developers to build decentralized applications (Dapps) and also assist users in managing their digital assets across chains with very little or no latency (delay in transactions).
The Binance Smart Chain network has garnered laudable traction since its launch in 2019. However, more noticeable progress was recorded in early 2021 and this was as a direct result of Ethereum’s congestion and ridiculously high gas fees issues, which prompted staking investors and developers to look elsewhere for alternatives.
The BSC community made the network more appealing to investors and new users as an economical and consistent alternative, by lowering it’s gas fee from 15GWEI to 10GWEI. This was an intentional move by the community to counter BNB’s insane price jump to over $300.
How Does Binance Smart Chain Work?
Consensus
Binance Smart Chain achieves 3 second block times with a Proof-of-Stake consensus algorithm.
Specifically, it uses something called Proof of Staked Authority (or PoSA), where participants stake BNB to contribute to validating the network. If Validators they stake with propose a valid block, they’ll receive transaction fees from the transactions included in it.
Note that, unlike many protocols, there is no block subsidy of freshly-minted BNB, as BNB is not inflationary. On the contrary, the supply of BNB decreases over time, as the Binance team regularly conducts coin burns.
This means that the token supply isn’t newly produced but instead, it’s total supply at any given time is on a steady decline.

Features of The BSC Network
A standalone Network: Although the BSC network runs in tandem with BC, originally, it is an Independent network. This implies that if Binance Chain becomes non-functional, BSC would still run its technical and business functions.
Supports Staking: The platform runs on a proof of stake model. BSC’s native token, BNB can be staked to contribute to security and vote on community governance protocols. Its Proof-of-Stake model also enables it to process transactions speedily, placing it above networks that still implement full proof-of-work (PoW) systems. Note: Citadel.one is planning to add BNB staking support in the future as well.
Native Interoperability: The flow of communication between the principal BC and BSC network is structured to be as seamless as possible.
This allows users to move their currencies across the BC and BSC network without compilations or frictions.
Now let’s see what functionality Citadel.one brings to BSC users.
