As they explained, the BNB chain focused on reliability, speed, cost efficiency, and fairness as the four core technical priorities of the year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese goals translated into tangible network outcomes,\u201d the BNB Chain affirmed, highlighting a 40.5% increase in total value locked (TVL), a 150% year-over-year (YoY) growth in daily transactions, a surge in trading volume and stablecoin market capitalization, and reaching the highest daily active users across blockchains.<\/p>\n<p>A recent <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/coindesk\/status\/2024512118981112144?s=46\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">report<\/a> by CoinDesk Research pointed out that the BNB Smart Chain (BSC) leads the pack in stablecoin annual growth, soaring 133% YoY. The BSC significantly contributed to the surge in DEX volume, with its annual DEX trading volume surging by over 100% in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>The network also overtook Solana and Ethereum in daily volume during peak periods, capturing nearly 30% of the total DEX market share at one point. Meanwhile, the BNB Chain also led in app revenue growth YoY, increasing 48%.<\/p>\n<p>At the protocol level, the roadmap emphasized that BNB Chain\u2019s performance improvements were driven by four major hardforks, which reduced block time from 3 seconds to 0.45 seconds and finality from 7.5 seconds to 1.125 seconds, while doubling network bandwidth to 133 million gas per second.<\/p>\n<p>Following these changes, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/news\/bnb-do-die-level-network-metrics-strong-performance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">network<\/a> has \u201cconsistently handled up to 5 trillion gas used per day, equivalent to approximately 238 million native transfers.\u201d Meanwhile, gas Price dropped roughly 20 times, from 1Gwei to 0.05Gwei.<\/p>\n<h2>Building The \u2018Next-Generation\u2019 Trading Chain<\/h2>\n<p>Now, the BNB Chain is working on multiple network optimizations in 2026 to establish the BSC as a \u201chighly optimized EVM trading chain.\u201d It seeks to achieve 20,000 transactions per second (TPS) with sub-second finality, further reduce gas fees through software optimizations, and push finality deeper into sub-second territory with advanced consensus and network latency improvements.<\/p>\n<p>The BNB Chain plans to make enhancements for a \u201cperformance-optimized\u201d EVM execution engine. These include a new execution engine \u201cfocused on best-in-class single-core performance using register-based interpretation and AOT\/JIT techniques,\u201d and \u201cconflict-less parallel execution during block chasing using EIP-7928 (BAL).\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The network is also planning to redesign storage systems for parallel-friendly access and continue developing middleware to reduce complexity for advanced applications, such as a privacy framework and an<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/news\/bnb-chains-ai-agent-surges-crypto-markets-bleed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \"> AI agent<\/a> framework.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the BNB Chain shared a long-term plan to design the \u201cnext-generation trading chain to support extreme performance requirements\u201d between 2026 and 2028.<\/p>\n<p>The main goals include <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/news\/prediction-markets-on-bnb-chain-explode-as-trading-volume-crosses-20b\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">targeting<\/a> approximately 1 million TPS, requiring sustained execution capacity of ~20 GGas per second; achieving near-instant transaction confirmation, with a best-case target of 150m; adopting a hybrid off-chain and on-chain compute architecture using execution proofs and attestations; strengthening decentralization through improved validator models and fault tolerance; and delivering best-in-class security and production reliability.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe next phase focuses on ensuring that this performance remains sustainable, fair, and extensible as the network continues to grow,\u201d the roadmap concluded.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" class=\"size-large wp-image-883536\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/BNBUSDT_2026-02-24_10-40-34.png?w=860&amp;resize=860%2C580\" alt=\"BNB, BNBUSDT\" width=\"860\" height=\"580\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a defining year for the ecosystem, the BNB Chain is stepping up its efforts to build on its 2025 momentum and continue scaling its performance, execution capacity, and infrastructure strength amid sustained usage growth.
