Bitcoin
Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency and peer-to-peer network that lets people transfer value without banks or a central authority. Transactions are recorded on a public blockchain and the network is secured by distributed miners and nodes.
BTCB
BTCB is a Binance-Pegged token that represents Bitcoin on the BNB Smart Chain. It is designed to track the value of Bitcoin while allowing BTC-backed value to be used within the BNB Smart Chain ecosystem, including compatible wallets, decentralized applications and DeFi platforms.
Decentralization
Decentralization distributes control and verification across many independent participants instead of relying on one central operator. In blockchain networks this can improve resilience, transparency and open participation.
Smart Contracts
Smart contracts are programs stored on a blockchain that can execute predefined logic when specified conditions are met. They can automate digital agreements, payments and application workflows without requiring every step to be handled manually by an intermediary.
