# BNB Smart Chain

### The Blockchain Infrastructure Behind ARBYDEX

ARBYDEX is built around **BNB Smart Chain**, an EVM compatible blockchain infrastructure designed to support smart contracts and decentralized applications.

BNB Smart Chain provides the underlying blockchain environment for supported ARBYDEX on chain operations.

#### Why BNB Smart Chain?

ARBYDEX uses BNB Smart Chain because its ecosystem provides:

**EVM Compatibility**

Supports Ethereum Virtual Machine compatible smart contracts and tooling.

**DeFi Infrastructure**

Provides an established environment for decentralized finance applications and protocols.

**Fast Blockchain Processing**

Designed for efficient transaction processing.

**Low Transaction Costs**

Transaction costs are generally designed to remain accessible for decentralized applications.

**Web3 Ecosystem**

Provides connectivity to wallets, decentralized applications, smart contracts, and other Web3 infrastructure.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://arbydex.gitbook.io/arbydex/bnb-smart-chain.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
