BNB Chain has unveiled plans for a significant infrastructure overhaul targeting 【5,000 decentralized exchange swaps per second】 by late 2025. The upgrade package includes raising the network's block gas limit tenfold from 100 million to 1 billion to accommodate growing decentralized application activity.
The network is developing a high-performance Rust-based client adapted from Ethereum's Reth architecture. ——This next-generation execution layer promises faster synchronization and optimized smart contract processing—— while introducing Super Instructions technology to bundle multiple operations into single transactions.
StateDB improvements aim to reduce redundant data access, with the team projecting eventual capacity for 【20,000 transactions per second】 at sub-150 millisecond confirmation times by 2026. A BNB Chain representative confirmed these targets respond to recent network strain, noting record activity of 17.6 million daily transactions this year.
Future upgrades will introduce native privacy features and user experience refinements designed to mimic centralized exchange convenience without sacrificing Web3 control. "We're making onchain access as intuitive as mobile apps," stated network developers, who are collaborating with traders on financial service integrations.
The scaling push comes as Ethereum explores zero-knowledge mainnet integration, creating competitive pressure in layer-1 optimization. BNB Chain's approach combines throughput enhancements with developer tools, positioning the network for enterprise-grade DeFi applications requiring both speed and flexibility.
——Industry observers note these upgrades could redefine expectations for blockchain performance—— particularly in high-frequency trading environments where swap speed directly impacts profitability. With testing scheduled through 2025's third quarter, the network's capacity claims will soon face real-world verification.
