However, the BAB token holds no data or utility other than to signify that the wallet holder has passed KYC checks through Binance. (At least for now)
The platform also announced the launch of its new zkBNB. Herein, it aimed to address the issue of blockchain scaling in the BNB chain. The zkBNB used the same underlying Layer-1 security level as the BNB Smart Chain to ensure safe and secure building opportunities.
