Event description
- BNB Chain completed the Lorentz testnet hardforks, reducing opBNB block times to 0.5 seconds and BSC testnet to 1.5 seconds, aiming for faster, more efficient transactions across the ecosystem.
- The mainnet hardforks are scheduled for opBNB on April 21, 2025, at 03:00 AM UTC, and for BSC on April 29, 2025, at 05:05 AM UTC, marking a significant upgrade for real-world blockchain performance.
- This upgrade aligns with BNB Chain’s proof-of-stake model, which already supports lower gas fees and a smaller carbon footprint, as noted in studies on blockchain energy efficiency (e.g., The Motley Fool, 2024).
