Tomorrow is a very critical day for BNB! Here are the expected developments.

BNB Chain announced that with the "Maxwell" hard fork upgrade taking place on June 30, 2025, BNB Smart Chain (BSC) will reduce its block time from 1.5 seconds to 0.75 seconds. This significant change aims to enhance the network's transaction speed, improve response time, and strengthen the performance of all ecosystem components.

The Maxwell upgrade is being implemented with the realization of three key proposals numbered BEP-524, BEP-563, and BEP-564. Each of these proposals aims to further enhance the speed and reliability aspects of BSC.

With the new update:

• Block time will be reduced from 1.5 seconds to 0.75 seconds.
• The communication between validators (validator) will be improved.
• Block synchronization between nodes will be accelerated.

These improvements will benefit all network participants, especially users, developers, validators, and node operators.

The Maxwell update is a new step taken after the BNB Chain reduced its block time from 3 seconds to 1.5 seconds with the previous Lorentz hardfork. Significant developments in network stability were also recorded along with Lorentz:

• The frequency of reorganization (reorg) decreased from an average of 5 to 2 daily.
• Block finality ( finality ) has become more consistent among validators.
• Validator memory usage and block processing time have decreased.

According to Dune Analytics data, during this process BSC:

• Reduced the average transaction fee to as low as $0.04.
• Ranked at the top in daily DEX trading volume.

After Maxwell, transactions on BSC will become almost instantaneous. Token swaps, NFT minting, or any dApp interactions will be much smoother and faster.
