BNB Chain has announced the Pascal hardfork implementation, scheduled for March 20 on the mainnet. The update includes essential changes, making BNB Chain one of the first networks to adopt the EIP-7702 standard.
Pascal Hardfork: What's New
The Pascal Hardfork brings updates to enhance developer experiences and user interactions with the network. Node operators, validators, exchanges, and infrastructure providers must update their software by the hardfork date to stay in sync with the network.
Technical Features of EIP-7702
EIP-7702 allows wallets to act like smart contracts, simplifying user operations without complex blockchain knowledge. New features include gas abstraction, smart contract wallets with enhanced security, social authentication, and batch transactions with reduced fees.
BNB Chain Development Roadmap
The Pascal hardfork is part of a broader development plan for BNB Chain. Post-Pascal, Lorentz and Maxwell upgrades are scheduled to reduce block times, enhancing transaction confirmation speed and network throughput.
The Pascal hardfork marks a significant advancement for BNB Chain, implementing updates that enhance security and user experience. Software updates are necessary before the March 20 hardfork to avoid network disruptions. Future upgrades aim to further improve network performance and efficiency.
