Main Idea
BNB Chain has launched the Maxwell hardfork to reduce block time to 0.75 seconds and enhance network efficiency, building on previous upgrades like Lorentz.
Key Points
1. The Maxwell hardfork reduces BSC's block time from 1.5 seconds to 0.75 seconds, making it a sub-second platform.
2. The upgrade introduces BEP-524 to double transaction throughput and improves validator messaging for faster block proposals and voting.
3. Maxwell also includes BPE-564, which enhances messaging mechanisms for better network reliability.
4. The upgrade follows the Lorentz fork in April 2025, which previously improved validator efficiency and dApp performance.
5. BNB's price showed bullish momentum, trading at $655 with potential resistance levels at $720 and $760.
Description
Cryptocurrencies displayed strength over the weekend as Bitcoin extended above $105,000 to press time’s $108,568. While altcoins brace for significant bounce-backs, BNB Chain will officially roll out the Maxwell hardfork today, June 30, 2025. The upgrade aims to enrich Binance’s chain through enhanced efficiency and speed.
