BNB Chain has released its technology roadmap for 2026, announcing its goal to significantly improve network performance and scalability. The roadmap highlights further reductions in transaction fees and aims for 20,000 transactions per second (TPS) with sub-second finality times and minimized network latency. According to the plan, BNB Chain will continue its dual client strategy. The Geth-based client will be positioned as a point of stability for validator compliance and operational reliability, while the Reth-based client will serve as a high-performance engine for full nodes, archive nodes, and future validators.
Among the 2026 goals are further reductions in transaction fee costs through software optimizations. These improvements also target consensus and network latency, pushing confirmation times down to sub-seconds. BNB Chain’s longer-term vision covers the period 2026–2028, with the aim of becoming a next-generation transaction chain capable of meeting extremely high performance requirements. To this end, the roadmap targets approximately 1 million TPS and a sustained execution capacity of 20 GGas per second.
A near-instant confirmation time of 150 milliseconds is defined as the optimal target for transactions. The roadmap also includes innovations on the architectural side, including a hybrid off-chain and on-chain computing approach to boost efficiency and safety. Simultaneously, decentralization should be strengthened through improvements in the validator model and fault tolerance. This will help ensure security and reliability in production environments.
