BNB Chain creates a new high-performance L1 blockchain

BNB Chain developers announced the creation of a new high-performance Layer 1 (L1) blockchain. This initiative aims to address tasks requiring maximum transaction processing speed and predictable inclusion in the network.

Binance founder Changpeng Zhao confirmed the "Multiple chains, one coin" strategy on social network X. Under this concept, the existing BSC network will continue to operate normally without changes.

The new network will be optimized for tasks where maximum speed and predictability of transaction inclusion are critical.

Key technical specifications of the new blockchain include block generation every 200 milliseconds. Transaction pre-confirmation will take about 20 ms, and sorting will occur at the sub-second level.

The project is positioned as a potential competitor to platforms such as Hyperliquid, Lighter, and Aster. At present, the public testnet for the new network has not yet been launched.

The launch of the new L1 does not involve introducing an additional token. Users will pay fees, stake assets, and participate in voting using the existing BNB token.
