Cambrian Now Supports BNB Chain

After much recent demand, I’m proud to announce that the Cambrian API now supports BNB Chain. Agents, protocols, and institutions can now query real-time and historical financial intelligence on one of crypto's busiest chains, and make decisions on signals like per-reserve lending utilization, net-of-fee rates, and pool-level fee APRs.

BNB Chain has rapidly become home to the fastest onboarding of new capital. It already ranks among the largest chains in crypto (over $5.7B in TVL and $37B+ in monthly DEX volume), but it’s the recent momentum numbers that draw our attention: BNB Chain leads all of crypto in 2026 real-world asset growth (+$3.62B, ahead of Solana's +$2.66B), it added 985K stablecoin holders in a single week in September (more than half the growth across the top ten chains combined), and tokenized stocks on the chain grew by over $100M in the past month. Capital is migrating to BNB Chain at lightspeed.

Sounds good at first, but when money arrives that fast, it doesn’t automatically mean a money-printing party. Stablecoin lending on BNB Chain is already running at 80–90% utilization, which means yield and remaining capacity can swing by the hour, which is something you can’t ascertain from headline TVL alone. Luckily, unlike other data providers, Cambrian goes significantly deeper than the surface. As of today, you can see - and act upon - the most valuable BNB lending data. Financial intelligence has arrived on BNB Chain.

What you can build with the Cambrian API's BNB Chain Data

BNB Chain continues a streak of specialized data processing we’ve applied to the five other chains we’ve announced coverage for. Cambrian's proprietary indexing stack reads state and events straight from smart contracts, instead of repackaging whatever protocols self-publish through their own APIs. Numbers that come from the source reflect what's actually happening onchain. We're starting with BNB Chain's deployments of Uniswap V3, PancakeSwap V3, SushiSwap V3, Aave V3, and Euler, and plan to expand coverage from there. That unlocks financial intelligence like:

Lending intelligence for a buzzing stablecoin market

Query Aave V3 and Euler on BNB Chain down to the individual reserve: utilization, supply and borrow rates net of fees, and the capacity that's still left. Most aggregators stop at TVL, but TVL alone can't show you that stablecoin reserves are running at 80–90% utilization, or where the opportunity appears to be flowing towards next. If you're looking for stablecoin yield on BNB Chain, the Cambrian API is the best source of financial intelligence to help you discover it.

DEX analytics for the home of PancakeSwap

Pool-level TVL, swap volume, fee APR, and volatility across the DEXes we cover on BNB Chain, resolved to the individual pool and updated in real-time. PancakeSwap V3 alone carries roughly two-thirds of the chain's DEX volume, and Uniswap V3 is the fastest-growing venue on the chain (TVL up 46% this month). Whether you're routing trades, managing LP positions, or watching where volume migrates between the two, the data is fast and fresh enough to keep up.

Token, holder, and price data

The Cambrian API provides live and historical pricing, ERC-20 token listings, address-level holdings, and top-owner distributions. And since tokenized stocks are ERC-20s, you can now add BNB Chain (one of the fastest-growing venues for tokenized equities) to the same data pipeline you use to track them on Solana, Base, and Robinhood Chain.

Let's get started with a simple CLI command to pull BNB Chain data. Since stablecoin lending is where the action is, let's pull Aave V3 reserves on BNB using just one call:

curl "https://api.cambrian.org/evm/aave/v3/pools?chain_id=56" \

-H "X-API-Key: $CAMBRIAN_API_KEY"

At the time of writing, here's what that result looks like (note how tight the stablecoin reserves are):

Start querying the Cambrian API

Grab a free API key at cambrian.org/pricing and make your first BNB Chain query today. You've got options: via REST, our MCP server for web-based agents, the CLI for terminal environments, or x402 for pay-per-request access.

You don’t even need to generate a key if you just want to get acquainted with the API. Just paste this command to your agent now:

Review https://docs.cambrian.org/llms.txt to understand the Cambrian API. Then give me a good overview of the data I can access and the chain coverage available in the Cambrian API.

Cambrian is continuously ingesting more financial data, onchain and offchain, to produce the best financial intelligence across every chain we index, with more chains on the way.

If you want more advice on getting started, have a feature request, or need a specific data integration, reach out to me directly on X: @0xrhota. My DMs are open and I Iove feedback!
