Binance-supported BNB smart chain has to undergo Pascal Hard Fork to bring major features from Etreum’s Pactra upgrade.
BNB smart chain, BNB chain is ready for a major update, a major update within the ecosystem, borrowing directly from the pectra upgrade of the atherium to promote cross-chain compatibility.
According to December 2024 of December 2024, the new upgrade, which is part of the 2025 roadmap of BNB chain, aims to intensify the transaction, simplify user experience, integrate AI and improve developer tools. blog post From the team. Crypto.news takes a quick look at what is changing and whether BEP-20 token holders need to take any action.
Which new features will Pascal bring
Before you are very excited, unlike the 2017 hard fork of bitcoin, which caused bitcoin cash, the result of Pascal upgrade will not be a new coin. Instead, the update introduces technical reforms, including native smart contract wallets and enhanced security as well as modifications for cryptography, the developers said on 21 February. Announcement of blog post,
Since one of the primary objectives of the BNB series is to implement a smart contract wallet solution similar to the EIP-7702 proposal of the atherium, proposed for extended account abstraction, presenting multi-cignature support for Pascal fork Smart Contract Wallet are supposed to. In addition, the purpose of developers is also to introduce a new feature that will enable users to adjust the spending limit and execute batch transactions, eventually increase overall efficiency and purpose.
Addressing the safety aspect, the BNB chain team says that Pascal strengthens security by integrating a new proposal, which will make it faster and more efficient to verify the transaction. The so-called BEP-439 proposal is understood to reduce the amount of work required to calculate, although the exact details cannot be seen in practice yet.
“It has a special mathematical structure (called a twist) that reduces the amount of work required to calculate. It makes much faster and more memory-skilled than old cryptographic curves. ,
BNB series
Developers have assured that regular users will not need to take any action in response to the update. However, he warned that once the upgrade is implemented, the cost of the gas may experience the duration of instability, the fluctuations before the potentially stabilized.
“Regular BNB series users do not need to take any action. The upgrade will be automatically, and most DApp will continue to work as expected. However, DAPP users who are highly sensitive to gas cost changes should remain updated with announcements from platforms. ,
Bnb chain team
For blockchain developers, the BNB chain team says they will need to ensure that their apps work smoothly with upcoming changes. While the complete details of the upgrade are still yet to be revealed, the BNB chain team protocol advises the developers to prepare by searching for smart contract wallets to create more user -friendly decentralized apps with better security and flexibility.
For example, Pascal Hard Fork Blocks change the header structure, so blockchain developers who treat block headers will need to pay attention to it. One of the new additions is the so -called “request” SpecialityWhich makes the block header format compatible with the EIP-7685 proposal of Ethereum.
The BNB chain team is warning that if developers do not update their code accordingly, their hash calculation may be wrong, possibly leading to issues on the network.
When Pascal will upgrade
The Pascal Hard Fork will be rolled out in two phases. The first phase closes on February 25, when the upgrade will be deployed on the BNB Smart Chain Testnet, which is used to test various ideas before implementation on the main network. The rollouts on the Testnet will allow developers to track any bug and see how new features work in behavior.
For main upgrades, it is planned for the middle of March. However, there is still a chance that the last date can be pushed back – because it was initially with a testnet rollout expected For February 12 – If there are any unexpected issues found in the code during the test.
The BNB chain team called Pascal a “Big Milestone”, as it set the platform for the next huge thorns: Loorantz (expected to reach someday in April), which will reduce the block interval by 1.5 seconds, and Maxwell (Somewhere in June), which will reduce further block intervals by 0.75 seconds.
