BNB Chain Unveils Major Upgrade with Maxwell Testnet Launch
BNB Chain has made a significant move by launching the Maxwell Hard Fork on its testnet. This upcoming upgrade aims to enhance blockchain efficiency by reducing block times from 1.5 to 0.75 seconds. As a result, transaction confirmations will occur nearly instantly, significantly improving user experience. Alongside this, the BNB Chain will enhance validator coordination, extending epoch lengths and ensuring block propagation times remain under 400 milliseconds. These upgrades promise to fortify the networkโs performance and scalability as the BNB Chain prepares for a subsequent mainnet rollout in June 2025. This proactive approach showcases BNB Chain’s commitment to innovation and optimization in the ever-evolving blockchain landscape.
