BNB Smart Chain
Everything on this page is generated from the running deployment. If a capability stops being served, the row for it changes rather than staying true-looking.
| What | Method | On BNB Smart Chain | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Read a balance | balance.get | Available | Native and token balances, by contract address. |
| Read network state | network.status | Available | The engine's lifecycle, bootstrap, continuity and observation axes. |
| Watch for a payment | payments/watch | Available | Followed by the light acquisition path, one bounded read per pass. |
BNB Smart Chain is EVM, chain id 56.
Its engine here is bsc.
What BNB Smart Chain means by settled
Reported in this chain’s own vocabulary. It is never translated into a shared “confirmed”, because the translation is where the money goes missing.
This chain has a protocol condition for finality: a block either meets it or does not, and waiting longer does not make a block that has met it any more final. Depth is not meaningful here.
- The strongest thing BNB Smart Chain says is
FINALIZED. - Its intermediate condition is
SAFE. - Depth is not what settles a block here, so this deployment does not count to one.
Paying on BNB Smart Chain
This deployment follows BNB Smart Chain for payments and can watch one destination for one asset.
- The asset this deployment can identify here is USDT (Binance-Peg BSC-USD), named as
0x55d398326f99059ff775485246999027b3197955, with 18 decimals read from the contract rather than assumed. - Amounts are compared as an integer count of the smallest unit. A float would round, and a rounded payment is a dispute.
- Detection and settlement are separate standings. You choose which one your checkout ships on.
The address is the whole destination on this network; no routing value is needed.
A first request
curl https://api.stonereason.com/v1/rpc \
-H 'authorization: Bearer $XRPC_KEY' \
-H 'content-type: application/json' \
-d '{"method":"balance.get","network":"bsc",
"address":"0x742d35Cc6634C0532925a3b844Bc454e4438f44e"}'Omit asset for the native coin; name a contract address to read a token. Your key must be scoped to bsc and to a product that carries balance.get.
Known limitations on BNB Smart Chain
- Free Beta: nothing is priced and no availability is promised.
- Answers here rest on something asserted from outside the protocol -- a checkpoint published by somebody, or a header that carries no proof of its own canonicity. However much cryptography verifies beneath it, the claim is capped by that assertion, and this is said in every response rather than assumed away.
- Source independence is unestablished here: this deployment cannot show that two sources it might ask are operated separately, so agreement between them is treated as availability rather than as evidence.
- No transaction history, no archive and no broadcast on the Beta surface.
