BNB Chain Develops New Layer1 Network Aiming for 50ms Latency and 100,000 TPS
BNB Chain is developing a new Layer1 network with the goal of reducing transaction latency to below 50 milliseconds and achieving a processing capacity of 100,000 transactions per second.
The network will eliminate public memory pools and adopt a TxStream mechanism to suppress sandwich attacks and other MEV behaviors, while reserving PriorityLane block space for oracles, liquidations, and cross-chain bridges.
The new network is planned to launch its testnet in 2026, further enhancing on-chain performance and scalability.

BNB Chain has previously optimized performance through multiple upgrades and launched Layer2 solutions like opBNB. This new L1 development continues the evolution of the Binance ecosystem from EVM compatibility to a high-performance native chain.
In terms of capital strategy, the TxStream and PriorityLane designs prioritize core DeFi and cross-chain activities, aiming to attract high-frequency trading and institutional users, motivated by enhancing competitiveness and reducing the negative impact of MEV on retail users.
Similar to Solana's early high TPS and memory pool optimization, and MEV suppression attempts by new L1s like Aptos/Sui, BNB Chain is currently transitioning in Layer1 competition from basic TPS to low latency and refined governance against MEV.
This essentially represents a technological replacement and restructuring of the industrial chain: eliminating public memory pools reshapes the transaction ordering mechanism, driven by the externalities of MEV economics, shifting pricing power from a general memory pool to a platform-controlled priority channel, thereby enhancing overall ecosystem efficiency.

Eliminating the memory pool eradicates the breeding ground for MEV, and mechanism design determines user fairness.
Low latency and high TPS reconstruct competition, with PriorityLane defining who gets settled first.
Performance upgrades outpace narratives, and on-chain governance surpasses marketing in attracting capital.
