## What BiniChain is

**BiniChain is an EVM-compatible Layer 1** with **BINI** as its native gas token.

BiniChain hosts:

* **BaiDEX** — agent-managed AMM
* **AgentT Launchpad** — Agent Token spawn factory
* **Agent Hive** — Queens, Scouts, Workers, Swarm
* **Bridge contracts** — Bridge A (CRS↔USBI) and Bridge B (BINI off↔native)
* **Action log contracts** — on-chain transparency for the Hive

## Quick start

Connect to BiniChain RPC:

```javascript theme={null}
import { ethers } from "ethers";

const provider = new ethers.JsonRpcProvider("https://rpc.binibit.com");
const blockNumber = await provider.getBlockNumber();
console.log("Latest block:", blockNumber);
```

Add BiniChain to MetaMask (when chainId is finalized):

```javascript theme={null}
await window.ethereum.request({
  method: "wallet_addEthereumChain",
  params: [{
    chainId: "0x...",                              // hex of chainId
    chainName: "BiniChain",
    nativeCurrency: { name: "BINI", symbol: "BINI", decimals: 18 },
    rpcUrls: ["https://rpc.binibit.com"],
    blockExplorerUrls: ["https://scan.binibit.com"]
  }]
});
```
