BNB Chain to Launch Application-specific Sidechains to Reduce Network Strain

BNB Chain plans to introduce sidechains to cut the cost and increase the speed of transactions for resource intense applications such as gaming. The BNB Chain Application Sidechain (BAS) will let developers port data and assets from BNB Chain, reducing strain on the network’s limited transactional resources, a Binance spokesperson told in a statement, without specifying when the sidechains will launch. These sidechains will also be application-specific, meaning individual sidechains will focus on specific use cases.
