Binance Smart Chain has surpassed 500 million unique active addresses, coincidental with the frenzy around the launch of his TST MEME Coin test.
In a historic milestone, Binance Smart Chain surpassed 500 million unique active addresses, according to a recent X post from Whale Insider. This achievement comes from the launch of the launch of TST Meme Coin, a test smoking launched by the BNB chain team for a self -study video about making a meme chain on the Vier.Meme Launchpad -platform on BNB chain.

Initially only intended for educational purposes, TST unexpectedly took on a life of its own, and increased 1,100% within the first three days. The Token reached a record high of $ 0.52 before the return to $ 0.20, a decrease of 62% compared to its peak, according to Coinmarketcap.

The start of the TST pump can be traced back on a brief appearance of the name of the token in a single frame of the self -study video. The video was briefly removed after this was discovered, but co-founder of Binance Changpeng “CZ” Zhao later instructed the team to put it online again. In its X -post CZ clarified that TST was not an official token and was not related to the BNB chain outside his role as a demonstration for the tutorial.
→ A difficult situation. A BNB chain -Team member told me this:
“We have done the step by step video -education for launching meme -token on https://t.co/74Sayteug platform. In this video we have launched a token with the name TST as an example.
When we placed the educational video yesterday, … https://t.co/LD77CAQDCJ– CZ 🔶 bnb (@cz_binance) February 6, 2025
Although token was only created for educational purposes, it had an unintended advantage because the resulting speculation about TST probably played a role in the recent increase in unique active addresses on the network.
Since the number of active addresses on the Binance Smart Chain continues to rise, it brings its MEV problem to sharper Focus. Maximum extremable value (MEV) refers to the extra profit made by validators by manipulating the order of transactions, often through attacks for the front and sandwich, which use the vulnerabilities of the financial gain network.
The sandwich attack in particular has become a notorious exploit at the BNB chain, in which users lose millions of dollars as Bots manipulate transactions to make a profit. BNB chain users were reportedly lost about $ 1.5 billion in these types of attacks in 2024, which emphasizes the vulnerability of the network as trade volume spikes.
Binance -founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) recently challenged the MEV problem on X by placing a poll on X asking whether BNB chain should eliminate MEV problems/reduce aggressive.
