The BSC Fermi hard fork is expected to cut block times by 40%. On January 14, the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) will undergo the “Fermi” hard fork. This upgrade is designed to slash block times from 750 milliseconds to just 450 milliseconds.
This could boost BNB Chain’s competitive edge against other high-speed networks.
More than speed, the upgrade also introduces new cryptographic primitives like BN254. These tools make it easier for developers to build privacy-focused applications.
Despite the upcoming upgrade, BNB has slipped under the $870 mark and is showing a 37% decline from its October peak of $1,370.
