BNB Chain has implemented the Fermi upgrade today, increasing block production speed by 40%

BNB Chain today underwent its third major upgrade, Fermi, named after the Italian-American physicist Enrico Fermi. The upgrade will increase the network's block production speed by 40% and reduce finality confirmation time to about 1 second, making transaction confirmations more predictable and reducing slippage risk in highly volatile markets.

This upgrade also includes technical improvements such as optimizing the validator coordination mechanism, enhancing blockchain data access efficiency, and improving transaction execution efficiency. Previously, BNB Chain completed two upgrades named after mathematician Pascal and physicist Maxwell.
