BNB Chain has revealed its 2025 roadmap, which includes sub-second block times, gasless transactions, and a 100 million transactions per second milestone. The focus on speed, scalability, and security is aimed at maintaining competitiveness in the evolving blockchain industry.
Faster Transactions
In 2024, BNB Chain introduced the Parallel Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) on opBNB and Consecutive Block Production (CBP) on BNB Smart Chain (BSC) to enhance efficiency. These upgrades set the stage for reducing block times from 3 seconds to less than 1 second in 2025. Key benefits of sub-second block times include near-instant transactions for DeFi, gaming, and payments, higher throughput supporting up to 100 million transactions per day, and improved user experience with minimized delays in smart contract execution.
Gasless Transactions
Gas fees remain a major friction point in blockchain adoption. BNB Chain is expanding its gasless transaction model in 2025. Megafuel, introduced in 2024, enabled over 25 million stablecoin gasless transactions for 16 million users. In 2025, gasless transactions will extend to all types of transactions, including those from EOA. Users will be able to pay gas fees with stablecoins or BEP-20 tokens, making transactions more flexible. Sponsors can cover gas fees for specific transactions. This move aligns with Ethereum’s EIP-7702 paymaster solutions, further streamlining user experience.
AI Integration
AI has become a core focus for BNB Chain, influencing smart contracts, data security, and decentralized applications (dApps). Key AI initiatives for 2025 include: AI-Powered Code Copilot – An AI assistant that helps developers write and deploy smart contracts efficiently. DataDAOs – AI-driven decentralized data marketplaces that allow users to monetize private datasets securely. AI Agents for DeFi & Trading – AI tools that help users manage assets, find the best trading prices, and automate transactions.
With these upgrades, BNB Chain aims to redefine blockchain performance in 2025. The roadmap prioritizes ultra-fast transactions, stronger security, AI-powered automation, and gasless transactions for all users. These steps are designed to position BNB Chain as a strong player in the Web3 market.
