The developers intend to increase the performance of the bnb chain network, launched by the binance crypto exchange, several times.

The programmers shared their plans, according to which, in the period from the second half of 2025 to 2026, updates will be released that include:

Increasing the gas limit from 100 million to 1 billion;

Release of a client for blockchain validators based on the Rust programming language and based on the Reth modular architecture used in the Ethereum network;

Introduction of Super Instructions smart contract functions that allow you to perform several operations in one action;

Improvement of the StateDB system used to manage accounts, wallets, and smart contracts.

All these upgrades are designed to increase the performance of the blockchain. According to experts, if the update implementation process goes smoothly, then next year BNB Chain $BNB will be able to process 20,000 transactions per second, and the transaction confirmation time will take less than 150 milliseconds. Currently, the network is capable of processing 1,731 transactions per second, that is, if successful, the throughput will increase by 11.6 times. The developers decided to increase the performance of the blockchain due to its growing popularity. In the first half of 2025, network users performed an average of 12.4 million transfers daily, and once made 17.6 million transactions per day. Such a number of transactions forces programmers to scale the blockchain, otherwise it will become hopelessly outdated. Already now, BNB Chain #bnb is 40% inferior to the Solana (SOL) blockchain in terms of the maximum number of transactions processed per second - 1,731 versus 2,909.
