What BNB Chain is
BNB Smart Chain, which fomo calls BNB Chain and DefiLlama calls BSC, is an EVM-compatible blockchain whose validators run what its docs call Proof-of-Staked-Authority consensus. EVM-compatible means it runs the same kind of smart contracts and addresses as Ethereum, which is why one fomo address works on it.
On fomo it shares your single EVM address with the other six EVM networks. fomo names bscscan.com as its explorer.
Funding and withdrawing on BNB Chain
- Deposit asset: USDC on BNB Chain, minimum 0.50. This is the network where the USDT trap bites most often: USDT is common on BNB Chain, and fomo says USDT you send “shows up in your wallet as a USDT holding rather than in your cash balance.”
- Already hold BNB? If you hold BNB but no USDC, fomo’s deposit screen shows a Sell tile that turns it into cash.
- Withdrawals: USDC on BNB Chain. The review screen shows the fee, which can be free, and every network has a minimum.
What a trade costs
The fee is 0.50% per trade plus the network fee, which you pay and which appears in your quote; the table above computes fomo’s part at three sizes. There are no fixed small-trade amounts as on Solana, and a referral code turns the 0.50% into 0.45%.
BNB Chain’s fee line through 2026
fomo’s blog has a BNB Chain recap from October 2025; DefiLlama’s fee data for fomo on the chain starts on December 9, 2025 (a data start date, set by when fomo’s Relay fee table begins).
BNB Chain stayed small until mid-2026, then ran up with the rest of the app. By DefiLlama’s daily series (read November 10, 2026): $458K in July 2026, $2.33M in August, $3.55M in September and $0.91M in October, a 74% fall. Its biggest day was September 8, 2026, at $433K. Referrers’ share of BNB Chain fees was 16.7% in September, which they receive out of the fee traders already pay. All-time, DefiLlama puts fomo’s BNB Chain fees at $7.8M, the third-largest chain after Solana and Robinhood Chain.

Questions people ask
Can I deposit USDT on BNB Chain to fomo?
It will arrive, but not as cash. fomo's help centre says USDT you send shows up in your wallet as a USDT holding rather than in your cash balance; USDC on BNB Chain is what credits cash. The minimum that credits is 0.50.
Is BNB Chain the same as BSC?
Yes, for this purpose. fomo's app says BNB Chain; DefiLlama labels the same network BSC (BNB Smart Chain) in its fee data.
