Dev Tool Landscape of BNB Smart Chain

Lesson Objectives

By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:

• Learn about the dev tools provided by BNB Chain

Overview

BNB Chain, in particular, BNB Smart Chain, is a blockchain platform designed to provide a high-performance infrastructure for decentralized applications (dApps). Based on the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), BSC offers compatibility with the existing Ethereum toolchain, including Solidity, Remix, Truffle, Metamask, etc. There than these BSC provides a vast range of dev tools to empoer its dev communtiy.

Dev Tools Offered by BNB Chain

There are many tools available for developers who want to build on BNB Chain, such as:

• Wallets: Trust Wallet, MetaMask, TokenPocket, etc.
• Explorers: BscScan, BSCTrace, MINTSCAN, etc.
• IDEs: Truffle, Remix, ChainIDE, BNB Chain Studio, etc.
• Frameworks: Truffle, Embark, Waffle, OpenZeppelin, HardHat, etc.
• Oracles: Binance Oracle, Band Protocol, Chainlink, Pyth, etc.
• Storage: BNB Greenfield, IPFS, Arweave, pinata.cloud, etc.
• Analytics: Dune, YieldWatch, Defistation, Bitquery, DeBank, etc.
• Security: CertiK, PeckShield, SlowMist, Staging Labs Go+, etc.

You can find more details and resources on the official BNB Chain Developer Portal or the NodeReal Website.

Conclusion

Overall, the development tools and resources available for BNB Smart Chain makes it easy for developers to transition to the platform from different EVM chains especially Ethereum and start building decentralized applications.
