BNB Chain plans to launch a new L1 network in early 2027
The new blockchain will run in parallel with BNB Smart Chain and connect to it via a native bridge. There will be no separate token: fees, staking, and governance will use BNB.
The network is aimed at on-chain trading and payments. Target metrics include 200 ms block times and transaction pre-confirmations in about 20 ms.
The public testnet is planned to launch by the end of 2026, with the mainnet following in early 2027.
CZ commented briefly: “Several networks, one coin.”
