BNB Chain, the blockchain created by the cryptocurrency exchange Binance, has revised its Red Alarm list to incorporate 191 high-risk projects and decentralized applications (dApps) currently operating on the blockchain.

The Red Alarm list of BNB Chain — which is refreshed every Friday — features projects and DApps identified as risky investments based solely on smart contract evaluations. The 191 newly added projects on BNB Chain are either suspected of issuing fraudulent tokens, imposing high or unclear tax fees, or simply because their websites or Twitter accounts are non-functional.

“Be sure to check our weekly Red Alarm list to become acquainted with suspicious entities on our network,” stated BNB Chain’s announcement regarding this issue. It is crucial to understand that BNB Chain’s proactive alert does not constitute investment advice and does not reflect the risk level of the underlying DApp projects. Rather, it is designed to assist users in their research before making investment choices.
