BNB Chain will activate its Pasteur hardfork on the BNB Smart Chain mainnet at 02:30 UTC on August 25, 2026. This upgrade closes security loopholes by preventing duplicate validator signatures during cross-chain verification and tightening rules on validator key rotation. It also increases transaction throughput, with testnet benchmarks showing a rise from 1,237 to 2,324 transactions per second at the same block time. Node operators must upgrade to client version 1.7.7 before the activation, and the upgrade is part of BNB Chain's broader effort to double mainnet capacity in 2026.
