opBNB is built on the OP Stack, the same underlying framework as Optimism. It extends the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) to provide faster and cheaper transactions, while leveraging BNB Smart Chain (BSC) for ecosystem integration.

opBNB is an Ethereum-compatible Layer 2 scaling solution designed to improve the performance and affordability of decentralized applications on BNB Chain. It provides high throughput and low fees, making it suitable for gaming, social, and DeFi applications.

opBNB is developed by BNB Chain, which is supported by contributors from the broader Binance ecosystem.

# opBNB Token incentives Methodology

## 1. Overview

The opBNB token incentives metric measures the USD value of token rewards distributed to users for participating in the opBNB ecosystem. This metric tracks any native token distributions, liquidity mining rewards, or other token-based incentive programs. For opBNB, this metric is explicitly set to zero, indicating that the protocol does not operate token incentive programs.

## 2. Data sources

The calculation relies on the following data sources:
- **opBNB transaction data**: Raw blockchain transaction records from the opBNB network
- **End-of-day price feeds**: Token price data for WBNB (Wrapped BNB) used for USD conversions in the underlying infrastructure
- **Token metadata**: Information about token addresses, symbols, and decimal places for price conversion processes

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Token incentives determination
- **Purpose**: Establishes the token incentives value for opBNB across all time periods
- **Logic**: The calculation applies a business rule that opBNB does not operate token incentive programs. The `token_incentives` field is explicitly set to 0 for all records, regardless of transaction volume, fees generated, or other network activity
- **Key fields**: The `token_incentives` field is hardcoded to 0

### Component B: Dimensional structure inheritance
- **Purpose**: Provides consistent time series structure and dimensional data
- **Logic**: The model inherits its dimensional structure from the fees calculation pipeline, including `timestamp` (daily aggregation boundaries), `timestamp_grain` (set to 'day'), `product_id`, and `chain_id` (set to 'opbnb'). This ensures the token incentives metric aligns with other protocol metrics in terms of time periods and data structure
- **Key fields**: `timestamp`, `timestamp_grain`, `product_id`, and `chain_id` are inherited from the fees model structure

### Final aggregation
- **Combining components**: No aggregation occurs since incentives are uniformly zero across all time periods
- **Currency conversion**: Not applicable as the base value is zero
- **Time aggregation**: Daily time boundaries are maintained through inheritance from the fees model structure
- **Final calculation**: The final metric value is always 0 USD for token incentives, representing opBNB's business model of not operating token reward programs

The methodology applies standard metric finalization processes including schema validation, forward-filling of zero values for data continuity, and chain availability filtering to ensure consistent reporting across all time periods where opBNB data is available.
