The BNB Chain is already live and fully in "production"—it's one of the largest and most active blockchain networks in the world.
However, if you're asking when its "production" capacity (speed and scalability) will be significantly enhanced or "go up," the network has a detailed roadmap with major upgrades planned throughout 2025 and 2026.
Here are the key points for the planned performance improvements:
Upcoming Major Performance Upgrades
| Upgrade Goal | Target Capacity/Improvement | Estimated Timeline
| Transaction Speed (Block Time) | Block time reduced from 1.5s to 0.75 seconds. | June 30, 2025 (Completed via Maxwell Hard Fork) |
| Network Capacity | Block Gas Limit increased 10x from 100M to 1 Billion Gas. | Second Half of 2025 |
| DEX Throughput | Support up to 5,000 DEX swaps per second. | Second Half of 2025 |
| Overall Transactions Per Second (TPS) | Achieve an architecture capable of processing 20,000 TPS with sub-150ms confirmation times. | 2026 |
In short, the network is not waiting; it is undergoing continuous, high-impact upgrades right now and through next year to achieve significantly higher performance and throughput.
