BNB Chain has successfully tested the Pascal hardfork on its testnet. The mainnet upgrade is scheduled for March 20, 2025, introducing the EIP-7702 standard.
Implementing EIP-7702
EIP-7702 allows wallets to function more like smart contracts, simplifying use and enhancing technical capabilities. Users can transact without direct gas payments, use smart contracts for increased security, and perform batch transactions, lowering costs.
Required Updates
All BNB Chain node operators must update their software to version 1.5.7. This involves testing systems and ensuring operational compatibility with new features before March 20 to avoid node desynchronization.
BNB Chain Development Plans
Following the Pascal hardfork, BNB Chain plans Lorentz and Maxwell upgrades in 2025, aiming to reduce block times and enhance network performance.
The Pascal hardfork is a significant advancement for BNB Chain, enhancing security and functionality. Network updates continue focusing on improving user experience and supporting more flexible blockchain applications.
