What Makes xBNB Unique?

Fractional-Algorithmic Design

xBNB uses a hybrid collateralisation model that combines:

  • BNB Collateral: Provides intrinsic value backing

  • B4NK Collateral: Algorithmic component for capital efficiency

The ratio between these two types of collateral adjusts dynamically based on market conditions, maintaining the peg whilst optimising capital efficiency.

Price Stability

xBNB maintains stability via arbitrage. When xBNB trades off peg, arbitrageurs can profit by either:

  • Under peg: Buy cheap xBNB and redeem for full BNB value

  • Over peg: Mint xBNB at BNB value and sell at premium

This mechanism ensures xBNB remains stable without relying on centralised price feeds or governance intervention.
