BNB was originally issued as an ERC-20 token, running on the Ethereum network, with a total supply of 200 million coins. ERC-20 BNB tokens were later swapped with BEP-2 BNB on a 1:1 ratio. The BEP-2 BNB is the native coin of the Binance Chain 100 million BNBs were offered in the ICO, but the current total supply is lower due to periodic burning events, in which Binance destroyed BNB held in its treasury.

Ether is the native cryptocurrency used fundamentally for payment transaction fees on the Ethereum network, then after the **Merge** it's also used for validate and propose blocks on Mainnet. The pricing mechanism for Ethereum's computing power is facilitated by the ether cryptocurrency. In order for transactions to be validated on the blockchain, users are required to pay ether, known as gas fees, which depends on computing power required for running a transaction
