BNB Chain's Jenner hard fork, activating on the Chapel testnet on Oct 28-29, introduces millisecond-level block timestamps accessible to smart contracts while keeping the existing seconds-based timestamps. It also implements a gas reserve feature, allocating 5% of each block's gas for eligible payment transactions, which can be increased to 10% by governance. Additionally, Jenner lays the groundwork for CAS20, a protocol for compliant assets like stablecoins, though full activation requires further governance steps. This update is mandatory for testnet node operators but has no mainnet activation date yet.
