BNB Chain Rolls Out “Fermi” Upgrade, Boosting Block Speed by 40%

BNB Chain has implemented its third major network upgrade, dubbed Fermi, aimed at significantly improving transaction speed, finality, and execution efficiency, according to ChainCatcher. Named after Italian-American physicist Enrico Fermi, the Fermi upgrade increases block production speed by approximately 40% and reduces finality confirmation time to around one second. The changes are designed to make transaction confirmations more predictable and to lower slippage risks during periods of high market volatility. Key improvements in the Fermi upgradeThe upgrade introduces several technical enhancements across the network’s core infrastructure, including:Optimized validator coordination mechanisms, improving consensus efficiencyEnhanced blockchain data access, enabling faster state reads and writesImproved transaction execution efficiency, supporting smoother performance under heavy loadTogether, these upgrades are intended to strengthen BNB Chain’s reliability for high-frequency trading, decentralized finance (DeFi), and other latency-sensitive applications source: https://www.binance.com/en/square/post/35055625624690?utm_source=BinanceNewsRSS
