BNB Chain announced plans for NewL1, a new Ethereum Virtual Machine-compatible Layer 1 network designed to handle over 100,000 transactions per second with transaction preconfirmation in under 50 milliseconds and block finality in less than one second. The network aims to support trading, payments, privacy, and AI applications, using BNB as its native token without issuing a new one. NewL1 will complement BNB Smart Chain with a native bridge and features like TxStream for direct transaction submission and protocol-level privacy. The project is currently in the design and discussion phase, targeting a testnet launch by the end of 2026 and mainnet release in early 2027.
