    BNB Chain sets Mar 20 for Pascal hardfork on mainnet

    BNB Chain’s upgrade brings better EVM compatibility and developer flexibility and will go live on the mainnet on March 20.

    BNB Chain’s Pascal hardfork, an upgrade set to bring several enhancements to the blockchain network, will deploy on the mainnet this March. Per an announcement, this upgrade should be going live in about two weeks’ time — specifically, it’s on March 20.

    Why is BNB Chain’s Pascal hardfork important?

    The mainnet activation of the latest BNB Chain upgrade follows the BNB-powered blockchain’s testnet release of the hardfork in February 2025 (BNB). While the developer team initially highlighted a tentative mainnet launch date of mid-March, the team is now looking at March 20, 2025.

    Pascal offers Ethereum (ETH) Virtual Machine compatibility via the improvement proposal EIP-7702, which allows externally owned accounts to execute smart contracts code. This means wallets can act as smart contracts that allow for gasless transactions, batch approvals, and swaps. 

    Pascal introduces EVM compatibility with the same features that Ethereum is eyeing with the Pectra upgrade. With its upgrade, Binance’s blockchain network eyes improved user experience and easier web3 onboarding as decentralized applications sponsor gas fees.

    Ahead of the Pascal hardfork, node operators and validators, exchanges and infrastructure providers as well as developers need to update. This is to ensure compatibility, as failing to update could see participants out of sync post-mainnet upgrade.

    BNB Chain’s next steps after the Pascal update include two key milestones in network speed. These are via the Lorentz hardfork expected in April 2025 and the Maxwell hardfork earmarked for June 2025. 

    Lorentz targets faster blocks at 1.5 seconds, while the Maxwell upgrade would see BNB Chain’s transactions at sub-second finality with 0.75 seconds.

    These are key upgrades as BNB Chain targets traction across decentralized finance and artificial intelligence. A recently unveiled AI roadmap reveals as much.

    Notably, the intersection of DeFi and AI has sprouted the rapidly expanding ecosystem of DeFAI, bringing opportunities from AI and blockchain. It includes benefits in the optimization of yield generation, cross-chain intelligence, and liquidity management.
