On February 9, the number of independent addresses on the BNB Chain network exceeded 500 million and is still growing. According to DUNE data, BNBChain has now become the EVM-compatible chain with the highest number of transactions in the past 30 days.
Immediately afterwards, on February 11, BNB Chain released its 2025 technology roadmap, which disclosed that BNB Chain will undergo multiple network upgrades, the most anticipated by investors being the gas fee upgrade, supporting multiple token payments for gas, and also opening up a function for projects to sponsor users' gas, which means the entire ecosystem is gradually taking on a different look, and CZ's focus on this momentum is driving it forward.
In the past two days, BNB ecosystem tokens have risen across the board, occupying the top of the exchange's gain list, and Meme tokens have also taken the lead on DexScreener. This article has compiled for readers the quality assets worth paying attention to in the different tracks or sectors of the current BNB Chain ecosystem, and perhaps in the current market where the overall direction is not yet clear, BNB Chain can bring some opportunities and provide some reference and inspiration for investors.
AI
BNB Chain currently has a complete AI ecosystem closed loop, from data infrastructure and tools to AI-driven applications, from the upstream AI hackathon to the consumer-end trading front-end, the entire ecosystem has deployed more than 60 projects, all of which demonstrate a certain resilience in development. You can pay attention to the token issuance or upcoming token opportunities in the ecosystem map, which may explode as the BNB ecosystem thrives.

COOKIE
On February 10, the Korean crypto trading platform Bithumb announced the listing of COOKIE, which had previously been listed on platforms such as Binance and OKX, and COOKIE is one of the most well-known AI applications with real application scenarios in the BNB Chain ecosystem, and its tokens have actual utility, with users needing to hold a certain amount of COOKIE tokens to use its data services.
CGPT
ChainGPT is an advanced AI model designed specifically for the blockchain and crypto field, providing tools for knowledge access, development and business solutions supported by CGPT tokens. On January 10, CGPT was listed on Binance spot trading together with COOKIE.
Infrastructure
BNX
BNX is the native token of BinaryX, the Web3 gaming platform in the BNB Chain ecosystem. The Four.Meme platform was actually incubated by the BinaryX team. In September 2024, BinaryX announced a brand rebranding to Four, but it has not been implemented yet, and the Four.Meme platform does not have a platform token, so BNX is considered a platform token concept and has been speculated. As of the time of writing, the current circulating market cap of BNX is $557 million, with a price of $0.98 and a 24-hour increase of 30%.
On February 11, the meme project CaptainBNB, which was launched from the Four.Meme platform, has seen its market cap exceed $10 million in less than 6 hours, reaching a high of $15 million, with a daily increase of over 13,000%. It can be seen that Four.Meme, as the meme launch platform of the BNB Chain ecosystem, has a continuous asset wealth effect.
CAKE
CAKE is the native token of the PancakeSwap platform, which is one of the most popular AMM protocols on the BNB Chain, and is also widely used in the entire DeFi industry as a DEX. PancakeSwap attracts a large number of users through low transaction fees (0.2% transaction fee) and rich features (such as farm, lottery, NFT market, etc.). As of the time of writing, Pancake has become the DEX with the highest 7-day trading volume. The circulating market cap of CAKE is about $910 million, up 58% in 24 hours.
Thena
Thena is a decentralized trading and liquidity protocol on the BNB Chain, and is the first project launched by Binance after CZ's release. Benefiting from the technical support of BNB Chain, Thena's advantage lies in its low transaction fees and high performance, and the platform also supports liquidity pools for multiple token pairs, and attracts users to participate through dynamic yield adjustment strategies.

At the end of January, Lista DAO announced that slisBNB and clisBNB have been launched on Pendle, unlocking new BNB yield opportunities. YT-clisBNB and SY Pendle LP will bring Binance Launchpool APR and BNB staking APR; PT-clisBNB will provide a stable 45.21% APR.

It also has a token Launchpad section, where users can earn BAKE tokens by staking or providing liquidity. As of the time of writing, the current market cap of BAKE is $84.7 million, up 91% in 24 hours.
meme
BNB Chain has been the stronghold of meme culture since 2021, and its support and construction efforts for memes are evident. In addition to Binance Alpha selecting BNB Chain ecosystem memes, the official has also held multiple meme competitions since the second half of last year, providing prize money and liquidity support, which can bring the community more long-lived and high-liquidity meme assets.
The selection criteria for quality Meme coins are based on their trading volume, market cap and 24-hour price performance in the past 24 hours, and the selected tokens follow the principle of no repetition per day, and the BNBChain community will purchase the projects announced each day, and users can track the data of Meme projects in real time through the "Leaderboard" of the activity.
Previous BNB Chain Memes such as Cheems, CAT, Koma, etc. have already been listed on Binance, and whether it is Binance Alpha or four.meme, they have already accumulated a batch of BNB Chain ecosystem meme targets, such as CaptainBNB, BOB, etc., and under the background of supporting their own ecosystem, they are expected to become the next Binance target.
For meme players, the most troublesome thing is MEV attacks. At the hottest time in the market, the BNB Chain Official released a proposal to fight against malicious MEV on February 7, encouraging the community to vote, calling on more people, including but not limited to block builders, RPC nodes, validators and DApps, to detect and prevent malicious MEV, and jointly bear the responsibility of protecting users from "sandwich" attacks.
At the same time, BNB Chain has recently cooperated with multiple wallet platforms (such as TrustWallet, Binance Wallet, TokenPocket, OKX Wallet, Safepal, etc.) to launch MEV protection functions, effectively combating "sandwich attacks" and other MEV attacks.
This protection measure prevents robots from manipulating prices before transactions by diverting transactions into a private channel instead of the public memory pool. In addition, meme players can ensure the security of transactions by using wallets that support MEV protection, switching to private RPCs, or choosing decentralized trading platforms that support MEV protection. In the roadmap released yesterday, BNB Chain is committed to eliminating malicious MEV in the ecosystem by 2025 and building a fairer on-chain trading environment.
CaptainBNB
CaptainBNB was originally intended to be the mascot of BNB Chain, adopting a token holding and staking model, where holders can receive a 7% BNB reflection income, forming a passive income mechanism. In addition, the token design includes Anti-Whale and Anti-Dump mechanisms to prevent large-scale dumping from causing severe market volatility.
KOMA
As the "son of SHIB" in the BNB Chain ecosystem, KOMA has always had a strong community cohesion, with a current circulating market value of $40.6 million.
BOB
Binance's Official Twitter often mentions "Build On Bnb" in its tweets, and the concept-based Meme token derived from this has a current circulating market value of $8.8 million.
CAKEDOG
CAKEDOG is the first Meme token launched on the Pancake SpringBoard, a pump platform launched by PancakeSwap, with a current circulating market value of $562,000.
FOUR
FOUR initially gained attention due to the points activity launched by the Four.Meme platform, and the number 4 is also related to a widely circulated photo of CZ, which is one of the cultural genes of the BNB Chain ecosystem, with a current circulating market value of $4.7 million.
WHY
Issued by the Four.Meme platform, revolving around the question "Why participate in meme culture?", continuing the core narrative of community-driven, users can earn points through various activities on the platform, with a current circulating market value of $3.32 million.
CZ's public support, still worth looking forward to in the future
On February 6, the number of active BNB addresses reached a new high. On February 11, CZ stated that "BNB Chain has been confined for too long, it's time to break free", hinting at major changes in the BNB Chain ecosystem.
In the 2025 technical roadmap released last night, BNB Chain revealed a series of new plans, focusing on optimizing developer tools. For example, optimizing SDKs and APIs to make blockchain development resources clearer and easier to use, improving development efficiency. They will also launch AI-driven development tools to help developers write code and debug programs faster, allowing them to focus on creating innovative products.
There is also the more flexible Gas fee payment method mentioned at the beginning of the article, allowing users to pay Gas fees with stablecoins or other BEP-20 tokens, no longer limited to BNB. The above measures will help form a virtuous cycle of developers, users, capital and attention from the infrastructure end.
Currently, the hype of Meme coins is still the mainstream speculation play in the crypto market, and as one of the main issuance platforms for Meme coins, BNB Chain is expected to further consolidate its market position by optimizing the listing process and liquidity management. CZ's return and active voice have injected new vitality into BNB Chain. His vision and strategic adjustments may drive BNB Chain to usher in a new round of explosive growth in 2025. Whether it's technology upgrades or ecosystem expansion, BNB Chain is worth continuous attention.
With CZ's deep involvement, the BNB Chain ecosystem is facing unprecedented development opportunities - from the technical breakthrough of opBNB to the optimization of the listing process, BNB Chain is bringing experiments on asset issuance to the crypto industry at a crossroads. Currently, capital and attention have also made their choices, and in the future, whether BNB Chain can continue to stand out in the fierce liquidity competition, let's wait and see.
