BNB Chain launches Greenfield mainnet for decentralized data storage

BNB Chain has rolled out the Greenfield storage network on the public mainnet after being in development and testing phase for over a year.

Greenfield is a decentralized storage-oriented network tailored to accommodate data-heavy decentralized applications within the BNB ecosystem. The network seeks to provide programmable storage options that interface with smart contracts on the BNB Smart Chain.

It touts cross-chain programmability, fast bandwidth speeds and data access permissions. Another offshoot of BNB Greenfield is the ability to create a data marketplace where users can list, trade or sell their data.

Greenfield is one of multiple networks within the BNB ecosystem, alongside others such as BNB Beacon Chain, BNB Smart Chain, opBNB and zkBNB.
