BNB Chain has announced its 2026 technology roadmap, announcing its goal to significantly improve network performance and scalability.
The roadmap highlights further reductions in transaction fees, achieving 20,000 transactions per second (TPS) with sub-second finality times, and minimizing network latency.
According to the shared plan, BNB Chain will continue its dual-client strategy. In this context, Geth-based clients are positioned as a stable point for validator compliance and operational reliability, while Reth-based clients serve as high-performance engines for full nodes, archive nodes, and future validators. Goals for 2026 include further reducing transaction fee costs through software optimization and reducing confirmation times to less than one second through improvements in consensus and network latency.
BNB Chain’s long-term vision covers the period 2026-2028. This network aims to be a next-generation transaction chain that can meet extremely high performance requirements. To achieve this goal, approximately 1 million TPS is the goal and a sustained execution capacity of 20 GGa per second is required. Additionally, a near-instantaneous confirmation time of 150 milliseconds is defined as an optimal goal for transactions.
This roadmap also includes significant architectural innovations. BNB Chain plans to use a hybrid architecture that combines off-chain and on-chain computing. This structure aims to improve both efficiency and safety by leveraging proof-of-performance and proof-of-concept mechanisms. At the same time, one of our key priorities is to increase decentralization through improved validator models and fault tolerance, and to ensure a high level of security and reliability in production environments.
