BNB Chain is gearing up for the Fermi hard fork on Jan 14, 2026, after a successful testnet on Nov 10, 2025.
The upgrade shortens block times from 750ms to 450ms, aiming for faster transactions and better network performance.
If all goes smoothly, this could make the chain feel more responsive and support more time-sensitive apps.
