 # Introduction
 
-BNB Smart Chain is an innovative solution to bring programmability and interoperability to BNB Beacon Chain. BNB Smart Chain relies on a system of 55 validators with Proof of Staked Authority (PoSA) consensus that can support short block time and lower fees. The most bonded validator candidates of staking will become validators and produce blocks. The double-sign detection, malicious vote detection and other slashing logic guarantee security, stability, and chain finality. 
-Other than the 32 active validators, BSC will introduce more validators, e.g. another 23 inactive validators, into the validator set as backups, which will be called "Candidates".

A decent motivation is expected to be maintained so that the candidate validators are willing to ensure the quality and help secure BSC.

 Given there are more than ½\*N+1 validators are honest, PoA based networks usually work securely and properly. However, there are still cases where certain amount Byzantine validators may still manage to attack the network, e.g. through the [Clone Attack](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1902.10244.pdf). BSC does introduce Slashing logic to penalize Byzantine validators for double signing or inavailability. This Slashing logic will expose the malicious validators in a very short time and make the "Clone Attack" very hard or extremely non-beneficial to execute.
 
 ## Fast Finality
-Finality is critical for blockchain security, once the block is finalized, it wouldn’t be reverted anymore. The fast finality feature is very useful, the users can make sure they get the accurate information from the latest finalized block, then they can decide what to do next instantly. More details of design, please to refer [BEP-126](https://github.com/bnb-chain/BEPs/blob/master/BEPs/BEP126.md)

-Before the coming Plato upgrade,to secure as much as BC, BSC users are encouraged to wait until receiving blocks sealed by more than ⅔*N+1 different validators. In that way, the BSC can be trusted at a similar security level to BC and can tolerate less than ⅓\*N Byzantine validators.With 21 validators, if the block time is 3 seconds, the ⅔\*N+1 different validator seals will need a time period of (⅔\*21+1)\*3 = 45 seconds. Any critical applications for BSC may have to wait for ⅔\*N+1 to ensure a relatively secure finality. With above enhancement by slashing mechanism, ½\*N+1 or even fewer blocks are enough as confirmation for most transactions.
+With Fast Finality enabled (since the Plato upgrade), the chain is finalized within two blocks if ⅔*N or more validators vote normally. At the current block time of **0.45 seconds**, this means finality is achieved in approximately **1.125 seconds**. If Fast Finality votes are insufficient, the chain falls back to probabilistic finality where more confirmations increase safety.
 
-After the coming Plato upgrade, the feature `Fast Finality` will be enabled. The chain will be finalized within two blocks if ⅔*N or more validators vote normally, otherwise the chain has a fixed number of blocks to reach probabilistic finality as before.
+For applications that need guaranteed finality, the `finalized` block tag in JSON-RPC calls (e.g., `eth_getBlockByNumber`) can be used to query only finalized blocks.
 
 ## Reward
-All the BSC validators in the current validator set will be rewarded with transaction fees in BNB. As BNB is not an inflationary token, there will be no mining rewards as what Bitcoin and Ethereum network generate, and the gas fee is the major reward for validators. After the coming Plato upgrade, part of the fees collected will be used as reward for finality voting. As BNB is also utility tokens with other use cases, delegators and validators will still enjoy other benefits of holding BNB.

 The reward for validators is the fees collected from transactions in each block. Validators can decide how much to give back to the delegators who stake their BNB to them, in order to attract more staking. Every validator will take turns to produce the blocks in the same probability (if they stick to 100% liveness), thus, in the long run, all the stable validators may get a similar size of the reward. Meanwhile, the stakes on each validator may be different, so this brings a counter-intuitive situation that more users trust and delegate to one validator, they potentially get less reward. So rational delegators will tend to delegate to the one with fewer stakes as long as the validator is still trustful (insecure validator may bring slashable risk). In the end, the stakes on all the validators will have less variation. This will actually prevent the stake concentration and "winner wins forever" problem seen on some other networks.

 2. **Low Transaction Fees and Fast Block Times:**
-   One of BSC's primary advantages is its low transaction fees. As of early 2024, the average transaction fee on BSC is around $0.10, significantly lower compared to Ethereum's average fee of $10-$20 during periods of high network congestion. Additionally, BSC block time of approximately is 3 seconds, ensuring rapid transaction confirmations and an overall smoother user experience.

 3. **Robust Ecosystem and Growing Adoption:**
    Since its inception, BSC has seen rapid growth in its ecosystem. By May 2024, BSC supports over 1,500 DApps, with popular platforms such as PancakeSwap, Venus, and BakerySwap leading the charge. The total value locked (TVL) in BSC-based DeFi protocols exceeds $20 billion, reflecting its substantial market adoption and user trust.
