BNB Chain has successfully tested the Pascal hardfork on its testnet. The update will go live on the mainnet on March 20, 2025, marking a significant step forward with the adoption of the EIP-7702 standard.
EIP-7702: Features and Technical Impact
EIP-7702 allows wallets to function like smart contracts, improving user capabilities. New features include gas abstraction, smart contract wallets with enhanced security and social login capabilities, simplifying blockchain technology use for users.
Required Updates Before March 20
All BNB Chain nodes must update software before the hardfork. This includes node operators, validators, exchanges, and developers to maintain compatibility with the network's new features.
BNB Chain Development Roadmap
Following the Pascal hardfork, BNB Chain plans two more major upgrades: Lorentz in April 2025 and Maxwell in June 2025, focusing on block processing speed and overall network performance improvements.
The Pascal hardfork opens new possibilities for enhancing user experience and security on BNB Chain. This update is a significant step towards more flexible and user-friendly blockchain applications.
