BNB Chain, the blockchain developed by Binance, is finalizing preparations for the Pascal hard fork, set for mid-March 2025 on the mainnet, with the testnet fork scheduled for February. The announcement was made by the BNB Chain development team via X (formerly Twitter).
This upgrade will enhance the blockchain’s compatibility with Ethereum, introducing native smart contract wallets—a feature expected in Ethereum’s upcoming Pectra upgrade. These wallets will support spending limits, batch transactions, and multisignature security, significantly improving user flexibility and protection.
Additionally, BEP-439 (BNB Chain’s equivalent of Ethereum’s EIP-2537) will enable multiple digital signatures to be aggregated into one, streamlining transaction verification.
BNB Chain has also scheduled two more hard forks: Lorentz (April 2025) – Reduces block intervals to 1.5 seconds; Maxwell (June 2025) – Further decreases block intervals to 0.75 seconds
Synchronization with Ethereum’s Pectra hard fork
The Pascal upgrade is designed to align with Ethereum’s Pectra hard fork, which promises significant improvements in network efficiency, security, and smart contract functionality.
One of Pectra’s major enhancements is expanding Ethereum’s data-handling capabilities. The number of blobs per block will increase to a maximum of nine, improving data availability and making rollup transactions cheaper and more efficient.
In its early days, BNB Chain was a dominant player, thanks to Binance’s backing and high transaction throughput. However, as Ethereum and Solana emerged as the key DeFi competitors, BNB Chain lost its prominence.
Recently, the BNB ecosystem has experienced renewed activity, partly due to Binance founder Changpeng Zhao’s mention of his dog, Broccoli, which triggered a memecoin craze and significantly increased transaction volumes.
As a result, the BNB token surged by 14% over the past two weeks, surpassing Solana (SOL) to claim the fifth spot in crypto rankings. Meanwhile, SOL has dropped over 10%, as insider trading scandals and rug pulls related to high-profile Solana memecoins have damaged investor confidence.
BNB Chain’s 2025 roadmap signals a commitment to supporting memecoins, positioning itself as a strong alternative to Solana for traders in the memecoin ecosystem.
Earlier, BNB Chain introduced new optimizations for the BSC network in response to the surge in memecoin speculation, which led to higher gas fees and network congestion.
