BNB Chain, chain 56. The key is bsc, the old name, because nobody types bnbchain from memory. It works anyway.
Address format
The EVM format, shared by every EVM chain here: 0x and 40 hex digits, any case. An address that fits BNB Chain fits the other thirteen EVM chains too, and identify says so rather than picking one. The EIP-55 checksum, the one carried in letter case, is verified where there is one: mixed case has to match the hash, and an address in one case throughout passes, since it carries no checksum.
import { getChain } from "@agntn/chains";
const chain = getChain("bnb");
chain.assertAddress("0x1f9840a85d5aF5bf1D1762F925BDADdC4201F984"); // returned unchanged
chain.chainId; // "0x38"
chain.caip2; // "eip155:56"
