Ah, the sweet sound of liquidity! And where does it flow, you ask? Why, towards the speediest of blockchains, of course! BNB Chain has its eyes set on the prize, with a 2026 upgrade targeting stock exchange-level throughput and latency. This could make it the go-to spot for high-volume, institutional-grade DeFi. 💸🚀
In a blog post dated July 16, BNB Chain shared its grand plan to achieve sub-150 millisecond finality and 20,000+ transactions per second (TPS) for complex operations such as swaps and yield strategies. The upgrade, planned for 2026, would position the network’s performance closer to Nasdaq’s matching engines than traditional blockchains. A feat enabled by a redesigned virtual machine, parallel execution, and Rust-based infrastructure. The team also revealed that recent optimizations, including a 95% reduction in malicious MEV and $0.01 median gas fees, have already laid the groundwork for this next phase.
12.4 million daily transactions, $9.3 billion in average daily trading volume, and a record 17.6 million transactions processed in a single day, all without the congestion or fee volatility seen on competing networks.
Now, the team is pushing further. By the end of 2025, BNB Chain plans to increase its block gas limit tenfold, enabling support for up to 5,000 decentralized exchange swaps per second.
To support this, engineers are rebuilding core infrastructure with three key innovations: a Rust-based client derived from Ethereum’s Reth for faster syncing and improved memory efficiency; “super instructions” that batch common smart contract operations; and StateDB optimizations to eliminate redundant data fetches.
But the real paradigm shift is coming in 2026. With a goal of sub-150ms finality and 20,000+ TPS for complex transactions like restaking or structured yield strategies, BNB Chain is aiming to become a Nasdaq-scale settlement layer for DeFi.
Per the blog post, a new virtual machine architecture will support parallel execution, bypassing EVM constraints. Meanwhile, native privacy features and Web2-like onboarding flows are designed to bridge the gap between institutional users and decentralized systems.
