BNB Chain has successfully tested the Pascal hardfork on its testnet. The upgrade will go live on March 20, enhancing network functionality through the EIP-7702 standard.
EIP-7702 Features and Technical Impact
EIP-7702 is a standard that allows wallets to function more like smart contracts, enhancing user experience and providing significant technical improvements to the BNB Chain. Users will be able to make transactions without directly paying for gas, simplifying access to blockchain applications.
Required Updates Before March 20
All BNB Chain node operators must update their software before March 20. BSC operators need version 1.5.7, and other updates are required from different operators and developers to ensure compatibility.
BNB Chain Development Roadmap
The Pascal hardfork is part of a broader development plan for BNB Chain. Lorentz and Maxwell upgrades are planned for 2025, significantly reducing block times to enhance transaction speed.
The Pascal hardfork represents a significant technical advancement for BNB Chain, enhancing security, user experience, and wallet capabilities. The network continues to evolve, focusing on faster and more convenient blockchain applications.
