BNB Chain has announced a roadmap to 2026, aiming to create a 'next-generation blockchain' that will compete with CEX and TradFi platforms.
In the last six months, thanks to the Lorentz and Maxwell hard forks, BNB Chain has made significant progress: block time has reduced to 0.75 seconds, transaction finalization to 1.875 seconds, average fee to $0.01, and MEV attacks have decreased by 95%. The network processed 17.6 million transactions in a day, with an average daily volume of $9.3 billion.
In the second half of 2025, the priority will be scaling, aiming to handle up to 5000 DEX swaps per second. A tenfold increase in gas limit (to 1G), a transition to the Rust client, and optimization of StateDB are planned.
By 2026, BNB Chain will build a new blockchain architecture that will ensure transaction confirmation in less than 150 ms, a throughput of over 20,000 transactions per second for DeFi, built-in privacy, and a simplified Web2-like experience with support for multi-signature wallets.
BNB Chain ranks 4th among DeFi networks by TVL.
