What is BNB Smart Chain?#

BNB Smart Chain is an EVM-compatible blockchain within the broader BNB Chain ecosystem. It has its own validators, native fee asset, contracts, and state. CenturionDEX does not operate on BNB Smart Chain.

How BNB Smart Chain differs from Centurion#

Both networks support EVM-style accounts and smart contracts, which can make wallet interfaces look similar. They are nevertheless independent blockchains.

Centurion is a decentralized Proof-of-Stake layer 1 that executes on the CVM, uses CTN for network costs measured in Newtons, and identifies mainnet with chain ID 286. BNB Smart Chain follows its own consensus, fee, token, and governance rules.

A contract deployed on one network is not automatically deployed on the other. Even when a developer intentionally uses the same visible address, the code and balances must be verified independently on each chain.

What this means for CenturionDEX#

Centurion Protocol v2 and v3 pools exist on Centurion only. A swap interface or pool on BNB Smart Chain is a different application and cannot be assumed to share CenturionDEX contracts, security reviews, liquidity, or support channels.

Before signing in CenturionDEX, make sure the wallet shows Centurion and chain ID 286. Keep native CTN for Newton costs and verify token contracts on Centurion.

Tokens and bridges#

A token on BNB Smart Chain can have the same name and symbol as a Centurion token while being unrelated. Cross-network movement requires a supported bridge, issuer process, or exchange route.

Bridged assets add dependencies on the bridge's custody or smart-contract model. Do not send a BNB Smart Chain token directly to a Centurion address expecting the asset to change networks.

Common issues#

  • The wallet uses the same account address: balances are still chain-specific.
  • A token logo matches: verify the contract and network, not the logo.
  • A site asks you to switch to BNB Smart Chain for CenturionDEX: cancel and verify the official Centurion entry point.
  • An approval exists on BNB Smart Chain: it does not authorize Centurion contracts, but it may still expose assets on that chain.
  • Funds were sent on the wrong network: only the destination controller or relevant service may be able to help.

Stay safe#

Network-switch prompts are a common phishing step. Confirm chain ID, site origin, token contracts, and every approval. Never reveal a recovery phrase or private key to bridge or recover assets.
