On-chain news: BNB Chain has released its technical roadmap for the second half of 2026, aiming to double mainnet throughput, reduce application interference through resource isolation, and optimize gas fees to lower enterprise costs. Key initiatives include implementing BEP-675, introducing dedicated channels, enabling BAL-based parallel execution, and applying sector-specific gas adjustments. BNB Chain targets a 10x increase in throughput. In the first half of 2026, BSC reduced block intervals to 450 milliseconds, memory finalization to 650 milliseconds, and achieved a throughput of 5,200 TPS. The BSC Rust client now supports Reth v2.0 with 2x performance improvements. The next-generation L1 architecture, targeting 100,000 TPS and sub-50ms pre-confirmations, will launch on testnet by the end of 2026 and go live on mainnet in early 2027. Crypto news continues to highlight BNB Chain’s aggressive upgrade trajectory.

ChainThink reports that, on July 24, according to official announcements, BNB Chain has released its technology roadmap for the second half of 2026, planning to advance three core objectives: doubling the mainnet throughput again, reducing inter-application interference through advanced resource isolation mechanisms, and optimizing the gas fee structure to lower onboarding costs for enterprise users.

Specific measures include implementing BEP-675, introducing dedicated channel solutions, advancing BAL-based parallel execution, and implementing granular gas fee adjustments tailored to specific industries.

BNB Chain states that its long-term goal for mainnet throughput is to increase by 10 times.

BNB Chain reported that in the first half of 2026, BSC reduced its block interval from 750 milliseconds to 450 milliseconds, decreased finality time from 1,125 milliseconds to 650 milliseconds, and increased baseline throughput from approximately 2,800 TPS to 5,200 TPS.

The BSC Rust client has achieved full compatibility with Reth v2.0, with performance improved by 2x.

In addition, BNB Chain is developing its next-generation L1 architecture, targeting over 100,000 TPS, transaction pre-confirmation under 50 milliseconds, a TxStream mechanism without a public mempool, PriorityLane for reserving block space via on-chain governance, and native privacy transactions at the protocol level.

The architecture is scheduled to launch on the testnet by the end of 2026 and on the mainnet in early 2027.
