On-Chain Chip Tapeout on BNB Chain: Will Value Accrue to the BEM Token?

A reader asked a question: having missed an earlier article about the on-chain chip “tape-out” project and grown increasingly fascinated while researching it recently, they wanted to invest but did not know where to start — specifically, whether the project’s value, under normal evolution, would ultimately land on the transistor (component) tokens or on the mined BEM token. Tape-out is indeed a closely watched, phenomenon-level on-chain experiment and infrastructure project on BNB Chain. It brings the chip industry’s “tape-out” concept on-chain, letting users build and run digital logic circuits on-chain [1]. ...
