🚨HUGE: CZ Confirms BNB Chain Plans New Parallel High-Speed Layer 1

The EVM-compatible network will run in parallel to BNB Smart Chain, connected via a native bridge, and will use BNB for gas, staking and governance.

CZ described the approach: “One coin, multiple chains.”

It is designed to be used in blocks of 200 milliseconds, and pre-confirmations of 20 milliseconds, to facilitate high frequency trading and real time payments. The works include features such as native account abstraction and onchain privacy pools.

We already have a multi-validator internal devnet running, and are aiming at a public testnet late 2026 and mainnet early 2027.$BNB $ERA $OSMO
