In the continuous evolution of the Web3 ecosystem, platform coins are not only a tool for trading, but have become an important pillar that empowers the entire ecosystem. As the core asset of the Binance ecosystem, BNB has grown from the initial exchange platform coin to a crypto asset with a leading market value, successfully creating a complete application closed loop. As a key support for the Websea ecosystem, WBS is taking a similar but more innovative path. So, does WBS have the potential to become the next BNB?
Trading, social networking, GameFi: WBS's multi-dimensional growth engine
The success of BNB is largely due to Binance's powerful exchange business and the subsequent BNB Chain ecological expansion. In contrast, WBS's ecological layout is more diverse, covering multiple core areas such as trading, social networking, and GameFi, forming a comprehensive Web3 ecosystem.
On February 27, 2025, Websea's gaming ecosystem also ushered in a super evolution. The tokens of Metamatch and Metakiller were officially unified into WGP (Websea Game Points), and they can be exchanged with WBS in real time at a rate of 100:1. This means that as long as you have WBS, you can play any game in Websea.
With the continuous upgrading of Websea's game sector, the value support of WBS is becoming more and more stable. On March 20, 2025, the price of WBS has exceeded 0.6 US dollars, up 50.8% year-on-year from February, reaching a new high since 2025, showing the market's strong confidence in the value of WBS. The number of active users in the game center surged by 73.5% year-on-year, and the cumulative exchange volume of WGP exceeded 160 million, further proving that the Websea game ecosystem is in a rapid growth stage.
WBS Sustainable Economic Model
WBS has successfully implemented core application scenarios such as Inspur pledge, multiple deductions, and GameFi , allowing users to enjoy lower transaction costs and higher profit opportunities in the Websea ecosystem. In addition, live broadcast, creation incentives, and social functions will also be launched in the future to further expand the boundaries of WBS. Here are some application scenarios that have been launched and are about to be launched:
Inspur Pledge
Through different staking pools, we provide more opportunities for wealth appreciation for global users. Each staking pool has a hard cap to ensure stable returns. After exceeding the hard cap of the entire network, the platform will dilute the returns in proportion to ensure fair rights and interests of all users.
Transaction costs are greatly reduced: direct deduction of handling fees
Users who hold WBS can directly use it to deduct contract and spot transaction fees. Imagine that you can save a part of the fees every time you trade, and long-term traders will reduce transaction costs. Holding coins can save you money. Whether you are a novice or an old player in trading, this benefit is definitely worth your money!
GameFi Empowerment
WBS is deeply embedded in the GameFi economic system of the platform, used for in-game consumption, purchasing props, unlocking advanced functions, and becoming a universal reward within the game ecosystem to increase player benefits.
Airdrop benefits, easily earn popular tokens
WBS holders will also enjoy various popular token airdrops and quickly obtain tokens of emerging projects, allowing you to seize opportunities at the first time and get ahead of others.
Global Payments
Hold a certain amount of WBS to enjoy the benefits of encrypted payment physical cards and realize various consumption scenarios around the world, including online shopping, cross-border payments, travel consumption, etc.
Social Live
Not only can you use WBS to participate in live broadcast interactions and gain more social opportunities, but you can also earn income from content creation and enhance your social value and influence.
More on-chain application scenarios
In the future, WBS will also be applied in scenarios such as on-chain interactions, opening up a broader Web3 exploration space for users.
Triple Strategy : How does WBS avoid the death spiral?
BNB’s ability to maintain long-term growth is inseparable from its destruction mechanism and a wide range of application scenarios. WBS has learned from this successful experience in the design of the token economic model and has optimized it in the following aspects:
Deflation mechanism : Websea has set up a deflation model for WBS, using 10% of the platform's fee income to repurchase and destroy WBS every month until the total supply of WBS is reduced to 100 million. On March 6, according to the official announcement, a total of 54,686,900.4 WBS have been destroyed, with a destruction value of more than US$577,000.
Staking and Locking : Users can obtain ecological rewards by staking WBS, while ensuring that tokens are locked for a long time to reduce market selling pressure.
Ecological consumption: Players can exchange WBS for WGP to purchase equipment, characters, skins and other props in the game to enhance the gaming experience. NFT props, land and other assets in the game are priced and traded in WGP, which greatly enhances the actual use demand of WBS.
Through the triple strategy of destruction mechanism + pledge lock + ecological consumption, WBS has achieved a true deflationary economy, formed a market performance of "following the rise but not the fall", and brought stronger confidence support to holders. The comparative analysis of WBS and BNB in terms of deflation mechanism is as follows:
In comparison, BNB mainly relies on the ecological expansion of Binance Exchange, while WBS focuses more on the integration of multiple scenarios, building a complete ecosystem from trading to GameFi, social networking, entertainment and other fields. This multi-level ecological layout gives WBS the impetus for sustainable development and provides strong support for its long-term value. This gives WBS the opportunity to take a growth path that is different from BNB but also has long-term value.
Conclusion: Can WBS become the next BNB?
Since its establishment, Websea has been operating steadily and currently has 800,000 registered users, covering 36+ countries and regions. It is expanding its influence every day. It is expected that the number of users will increase fivefold and the community will increase tenfold by 2025. As the core asset of the Websea ecosystem, WBS is like holding BNB on Binance in the early days. Looking back at its increase now, you will understand the unlimited potential of WBS.
We will continue to pay attention to the development of WBS in the future to see if it can replicate the success of BNB or even create a new WBS era.
