【$BNB Jenner Schedule Check | Mainnet: v1.8.2 Is Authoritative】
Bottom line: The official BNB Chain BSC client v1.8.2 (released November 3) schedules the Jenner mainnet hard fork for December 8 at 02:30 UTC, and requires mainnet nodes to upgrade before activation. Older official documentation still says “late November, time TBD” and states that the version has not been released; it has not yet been updated to reflect the new schedule. The testnet went live on October 29. By default, Payment Lane reserves 5% of each block’s gas for eligible payment transactions, but does not guarantee that any individual transaction will be included in a block. Are you more concerned about the upgrade window or payment eligibility?
