BNB Chain Launches New Layer 1 for Agent Trading, Targeting 2027 Mainnet Launch
According to The Block, BNB Chain is building a new Layer 1 blockchain designed specifically for agent trading, targeting transaction pre-confirmation in under 50 milliseconds, and suppressing MEV behaviors such as sandwich attacks by eliminating the public mempool (adopting the TxStream mechanism). The new chain will also reserve block space for oracles, liquidations, and cross-chain bridges via PriorityLane, with a designed throughput target exceeding 100,000 TPS, and supporting sub-second block finality. This chain will become the fourth chain in the BNB Chain ecosystem, connected to BNB Smart Chain via a native bridge, with BSC serving as the settlement hub. The testnet is planned to launch at the end of 2026, and the mainnet is expected to deploy in early 2027.
