BNB Chain has just completed its third technical upgrade, Fermi, which improved performance, increased block production speed by 40%, and shortened confirmation time to 1 second. This makes transaction confirmations more predictable and reduces slippage risk. The upgrade optimized validator coordination, data access, and transaction processes, enhancing the network's responsiveness.

【BitPush】The third major technical upgrade of BNB Chain, Fermi, has just been deployed. Named after physicist Enrico Fermi, this upgrade brings significant performance improvements—block production speed increased by 40%, and finality confirmation time reduced to about 1 second.

What does this mean for traders? Transaction confirmations become more predictable, and slippage risk in highly volatile markets can be effectively reduced.

The technical enhancements cover several key areas: the validator coordination mechanism has been optimized, blockchain data access efficiency has been improved, and transaction execution processes are smoother. These seemingly behind-the-scenes improvements directly impact the network’s overall responsiveness.

The upgrade history of BNB Chain has formed a series. Two previous upgrades have been completed—named after mathematician Pascal and physicist Maxwell, respectively. Continuous technical iterations have gradually enhanced the network’s stability and throughput.
