Important News from Last Night and This Morning (July 8 - July 9)

BNB Chain plans to launch a new Layer 1 public chain in early 2027, optimized for smart trading execution performance. BNB Chain is developing a new Layer 1 public chain designed specifically for agentic trading, aiming to achieve transaction pre-confirmation under 50 milliseconds and eliminating the public mempool to reduce front-running risks such as sandwich attacks. The chain routes transactions directly to block producers via TxStream and rotates block production nodes every 200 milliseconds, with PriorityLane reserving block space for oracles, liquidations, and cross-chain bridges. BNB Chain plans to achieve over 100,000 transactions per second and sub-second finality through parallel execution, consensus and storage co-optimization. The new chain will run in parallel with the existing BNB Smart Chain, with a testnet expected by the end of 2026 and mainnet launch in early 2027.
