The Future Journey of BNB Chain: The Rest of 2025 and Goals for 2026
We are calling for proposals for the next-generation L1 designed to compete with centralized platforms—delivering sub-150ms finality, over 20,000 TPS for complex transactions, on-chain compute hub, and native privacy for over 200 million users.
Through two major hardforks, Lorentz and Maxwell, we reduced block time from 3 seconds to 0.75 seconds and transaction finality from 7.5 seconds to 1.875 seconds. Network bandwidth more than doubled to 100 million gas per second, and since then, BNB Chain has seamlessly handled:
♻️12.4M transactions per day.
♻️ Average daily trading volume of $9.3B.
♻️A record 17.6M transactions in a single day.
♻️95% reduction in MEV attacks.
The Rest of 2025: Scaling BNB Chain to handle more users, applications, and real-time activity than ever before. By increasing the block gas limit to 1G, a 10x increase in current capacity, we’re preparing the chain to support massive on-chain usage, including up to 5,000 DEX swap transactions per second.
2026 Goals:
♻️ Instant transaction confirmation. With the next-generation BNB Chain upgrade, transactions will be confirmed in under 150 milliseconds.
♻️ Building DeFi transaction speeds comparable to Nasdaq. With the ability to process over 20,000 transactions per second for complex on-chain activities like swaps, restaking, or yield strategies.
♻️Simplifying the web3 experience to rival web2. Support for multi-signature wallets, key rotation, and seamless authentication flows will deliver a familiar user experience (UX) for decentralized systems
BNB Chain has evolved over the years, but its core mission remains unchanged since the early days of Binance DEX: empowering billions of users to transact, build, and own without barriers.
