BNB Chain reveals ambitious 2025 plans, including faster transaction speeds, gas fee elimination, and AI integration. This step aims to maintain competitive prowess in the fast-evolving blockchain realm.
Faster Transactions
In 2024, BNB Chain implemented Parallel Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) on opBNB and Consecutive Block Production (CBP) on BNB Smart Chain to enhance efficiency. These upgrades pave the way for reducing block times from 3 seconds to below 1 second in 2025. Key benefits include: near-instant transactions for DeFi, gaming, and payments; capability to support up to 100 million transactions per day; improved user experience by minimizing delays in smart contract execution. BNB Chain leverages optimized consensus mechanisms and network improvements to achieve such speed while maintaining stability.
Gasless Transactions
Gas fees remain a major friction point in blockchain adoption. To address this, BNB Chain will expand its gasless transaction model in 2025. Introduced in 2024, Megafuel enabled over 25 million gasless stablecoin transactions for 16 million users. In 2025, gasless transactions will extend to all transaction types, including those from Externally Owned Accounts (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 aligns with Ethereum’s EIP-7702 paymaster solutions, further streamlining user experience.
AI Integration
AI has become a core focus for BNB Chain, impacting smart contracts, data security, and decentralized applications (dApps). Key AI initiatives for 2025 include: AI-Powered Code Copilot – an AI assistant helping developers write and deploy smart contracts efficiently; DataDAOs – AI-driven decentralized data marketplaces allowing secure monetization of private datasets; AI agents for DeFi and trading – tools assisting users in managing assets, finding optimal trading prices, and automating transactions. The network is also expanding its AI-powered ecosystem, supporting AI-driven gaming (e.g., World of Dypians, Xterio), AI-based decentralized social networks (Tako, Jam.AI), and AI-enhanced DeFi platforms (Termix, Anon).
BNB Chain aims to establish a leading position in blockchain technology by 2025 through implementing high-speed transactions, enhanced security, and AI integration. By eliminating gas fees and improving user experience, the network intends to remain competitive against other platforms such as Ethereum and Solana.
