What's more, leading digital assets on other chains can be ported onto Binance Smart Chain in the form of pegged BEP20 tokens. For example, you could use Binance Bridge to swap bitcoin (BTC) for BTCB (BEP20) tokens backed by BTC. BTCB (BEP20) tokens can then be deployed in DeFi protocols to earn a yield on bitcoin. The same goes for ETH, XRP, DOGE, and many more.

The token is contract-compatible and has basic functionality like transferring, returning a balance, and viewing possession for a token. The BEP20 sets standard guides to manage the tokens. The tokens are compatible with ERC-20 and BEP-2 due to their similarity. The Binance Smart Chain is designed for all small contracts such as the decentralized finance DeFi and decentralized applications dApps.
