No separate token will be issued;BNB will continue to be used as the core asset for paying Gas fees, staking, and governance. The official plan is to launch the testnet by the end of 2026, and the mainnet at the beginning of 2027.
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
BNB: If the plan proceeds according to the documentation, the new L1 will continue to use BNB to pay Gas fees, stake, and participate in governance, which may expand BNB use cases on additional chains; however, it remains at the planning stage. Concept note: Staking generally involves locking assets to participate in the operation of a network or protocol; exit conditions and sources of returns require separate verification.
