BNB Chain announces a separate new L1: no new token, BNB for everything
📌 BNB Chain technical docs (updated 10/22) and H2 roadmap: A high-performance “New L1” is being developed alongside BSC, connected via a native cross-chain bridge (still in development). BNB will be used for gas, staking, and governance, with no new token issuance.
📌 Targets include 200 ms block times, sub-second finality, and no public mempool; transactions will be sent directly to block producers to reduce frontrunning. The roadmap says the public testnet is planned for late 2026 and mainnet for early 2027. (crypto.news/The Block/TokenPost)
📌 CZ responded on X on 10/25: “Multiple chains, one coins.” The BNB Chain CTO told The Block that BSC will remain the settlement hub, with the goal of “making the pie bigger, not slicing it up again.” BNB is around $738.60, down about 1.2% over 24 hours (Coin Edition).
【Take】
This is a “one coin, multiple chains” approach: the new chain won’t dilute the token’s value, and all gas and staking demand will flow back to BNB—a narrative more favorable to holders than issuing a new token. It’s aimed at high-frequency trading, order books, and AI agent trading, positioning it directly against low-latency chains like Solana and Hyperliquid. But for now, there’s only an internal devnet; the testnet isn’t live yet, and real-world demand is still a long way off.
【Opportunities / Risks】
✅ Watch: whether the testnet launches by the end of the year as scheduled, the security design of the native bridge, and which order-book/perpetual DEX projects migrate first
✅ Projects in the BNB ecosystem focused on high-frequency trading and AI agents may be among the first to benefit from the narrative
⚠️ Risks: The new chain could draw liquidity away from BSC; pre-confirmations can be revoked, so large transactions may need to wait for finality; cross-chain bridges have historically been major targets for attacks
⚠️ Market-wide, BTC fell below $80,000 ahead of Wednesday’s FOMC meeting, and narrative-driven optimism may not withstand macro-driven risk-off sentiment
Do you think “one coin, multiple chains” can genuinely drive demand for BNB, or will it simply split BSC’s liquidity?
