The BNB Chain has completed the Lorentz testnet hard fork before the mainnet upgrade.
Today, BNB Chain completed the Lorentz hard fork to improve network efficiency. Mainnet upgrades are scheduled for later this month, while the Maxwell upgrade will take place in June. BNB Chain successfully completed the hard fork of the Lorentz testnet today. This fork improves network efficiency and ensures smooth performance. The blockchain has detailed its upcoming upgrades in its 2025 roadmap, further enhancing the network's scalability and performance.
BNB Chain announced the completion of the hard fork for the Lorentz testnet on its official X account yesterday. The post also mentioned the performance of opBNB and BSC testnet block times after the hard fork. While opBNB operates at a speed of 0.5 seconds, the BSC testnet operates at a speed of 1.5 seconds.
The hard fork of the Lorentz network improves block processing time with smooth performance. With the completion of the testnet upgrade, the network is now ready for the mainnet upgrade. The opBNB mainnet upgrade is scheduled for April 21 at 3:00 AM UTC, while the BSC mainnet upgrade will take place on April 29 at 5:05 AM UTC.
