Technical Architecture
Consensus Mechanism
BSC adopts the Proof of Staked Authority (PoSA) consensus mechanism, combining the benefits of Proof of Stake (PoS) and Proof of Authority (PoA):
- 21 validators produce blocks in a round-robin manner
- Validators stake BNB to participate in consensus
- Fast block confirmation time (3 seconds)
- No fork possibility due to validator set finality
Cross-Chain Architecture
BSC features a dual-chain architecture with BNB Beacon Chain (BC):
- Native dual-chain communication
- Cross-chain asset transfers
- BNB as the native token for both chains
- Optimized for scalability and fast transactions
System Architecture
Network Layer
- P2P network protocol
- Fast block propagation
- Efficient node discovery
