BNB Chain is planning to build another new blockchain, without issuing a new token.
The official docs updated the plan, called New L1, last week. Early this morning, CZ reposted it with the line “Multiple chains, one coin,” and the discussion quickly heated up.
The new chain will run alongside the current BSC, not replace it.
Its design targets are 200-millisecond block times and confirmation in under a second, aimed at speed-sensitive use cases such as high-frequency trading, real-time payments, and on-chain AI agents.
Gas will be paid in BNB bridged over from BSC, and staking BNB will grant governance voting rights, so holders don’t have to worry about their holdings being diluted by a new token.
I’m more inclined to see this as a long-term demand story; the short-term price action isn’t showing much enthusiasm.
BNB has mostly been moving between 710 and 750 over the past two weeks, and after the news broke, it only dipped slightly along with the broader market.
The new chain is still on an internal devnet, and the docs don’t give dates for a public testnet or mainnet either. Capital usually waits until there’s something usable before pricing it in seriously.
Next, watch whether price can break above the 750 range ceiling with strong volume. The 50-day moving average is also overhead there.
Do you think this new chain will first drive demand for BNB, or divert activity from projects on BSC?
