If BSC wants to further develop, it must break free from the constraints of EVM

Since its inception, Binance Smart Chain (BSC) has quickly attracted developers and users due to its compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), forming a large ecosystem. However, the EVM architecture has long been exposed to performance bottlenecks and innovation shackles: limited throughput, low execution efficiency, and severe state bloat. These issues are gradually restricting the future expansion of BSC.

To meet the demands of high-frequency applications such as DeFi and GameFi, if BSC remains stagnant on the compatibility layer with EVM, it will ultimately only narrow its path down the road of being a “low-cost clone of Ethereum,” making it difficult to achieve technological leaps and ecological independence. In reality, many emerging chains like Aptos, Sui, and Sei have chosen to break free from EVM, establishing differentiated competitive advantages based on more efficient and modular execution architectures such as Move or Cosmos SDK.

If BSC wants to evolve from an “Ethereum follower” to an “innovative public chain,” it must fundamentally reform by building an independent high-performance VM that supports more complex computing models and native multi-threaded concurrent processing. At the same time, EVM compatibility can be retained as a compatibility layer to achieve a smooth transition and ecological continuity, but the core execution engine must move towards autonomy.

Breaking away from EVM is not abandoning the ecosystem, but moving toward the future. Only by breaking the old framework can BSC truly forge its own path of innovation.
