BNB Chain will activate the Pasteur hard fork on its BNB Smart Chain mainnet at 02:30 UTC on August 25, 2026. This upgrade mandates node operators to install client version 1.7.7 and removes certain obsolete settings to enhance bridge validation, validator governance, and block processing capacity. Testing on QANet showed throughput nearly doubling from 1,237 to 2,324 transactions per second without affecting block times or finality, though real mainnet gains are not guaranteed. The upgrade strengthens cross-chain transfer security by preventing duplicate validator votes and improves validator key rotation controls, while allowing builders more time to fill blocks, aiming to better utilize existing block capacity and close security gaps.
