BNB Greenfield Code Released on Testnet Launch

Open-Sourcing BNB Infrastructure

BNB Greenfield has officially launched its first testnet "Congo" and open-sourced all of its core infrastructure code, including the Greenfield blockchain, storage provider cluster, cross-chain relayer, and corresponding SDKs.

As planned since the project's inception, BNB Chain's core developers and community have made the extensive code base available to everyone. This decision was an obvious choice for two reasons.

Firstly, the project owes its existence to giants such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Cosmos, and Superfluid, among others, and BNB Chain's core developers and community feel a strong obligation to give back.

Secondly, BNB Chain's core developer community has a tradition of open-sourcing important code with full permissions to benefit the community. This includes tss-lib, BNB Smart Chain, BNB Beacon Chain, and zkBNB Phase 1, among others.

BNB Greenfield is still in its early stages and should be an open system as much as possible. Some code is still in its premature phase, and features and design mentioned in the whitepaper are still missing. Thus, the community - developers, researchers, dApp entrepreneurs, and white hat hackers - are more than welcome to try Greenfield features and code, give feedback, and co-build this ecosystem.

The launch of the Congo testnet of BNB Greenfield is just the start of the journey. Open-sourcing the code paves another stone towards the future of data sovereignty and economy. Everyone is invited to participate and witness the progress of this promising project.

What is BNB Chain:

Previously known as the Binance Smart Chain (BSC), BNB Chain is a community-driven, decentralized, and censorship-resistant blockchain that is powered by Binance. It consists of BNB Beacon Chain and BNB Smart Chain, EVM compatible and facilitating a multi-chain ecosystem.
