BNB Chain announced on-chain news regarding a new L1 blockchain set to launch in early 2027. The chain will operate alongside BSC, use BNB for fees, staking, and governance, and target 200-millisecond block times. A devnet is already active, with a testnet expected by late 2026. The project supports new token listings and aims to expand BNB’s utility across multiple blockchains.

Huoxing Finance reports that CZ cited a tweet regarding BNB Chain’s new L1 plan, stating, “Multiple chains, one coin.” According to the tweet, which references BNB Chain’s official documentation, the new L1 will coexist with BSC, connected via a native cross-chain bridge, without issuing a separate token—continuing to use BNB for transaction fees, staking, and governance. The new chain’s name has not yet been announced, with targets of 200-millisecond block times and approximately 20-millisecond transaction pre-confirmation. An internal multi-validator testnet is currently operational, with a public testnet planned for late 2026 and mainnet launch targeted for early 2027.
