# BNB

[BNB Chain](https://docs.bnbchain.org/bnb-smart-chain/developers/node_operators/full_node/) is composed of two blockchains - Beacon Chain (BC) and BNB Smart Chain (BSC). The Beacon Chain is the blockchain component that is responsible for the governance of the BNB Chain and manages staking and voting on the BNB Chain. Whereas, the BNB Smart Chain is the blockchain component that is EVM compatible, consensus layers, and hubs to multi-chains
