BNB Chain is developing a new high-performance Layer 1 blockchain to run alongside BNB Smart Chain without creating a new token, continuing to use BNB for gas, staking, and governance. The new network aims for 200-millisecond block times and transaction pre-confirmation in about 20 milliseconds, targeting applications needing faster and predictable execution. An internal multi-validator devnet is active, with public testing planned for late 2026 and a mainnet launch expected in early 2027. This approach allows BNB Smart Chain to maintain existing services while the new chain handles low-latency transactions, connected via a native bridge still under development.
