Improved safety measures accompany this capacity increase multi-proof mechanisms. Additionally, the implementation of Ethereum’s EIP4844 and Greenfield’s data availability upgrades will reduce gas costs by a factor of 5 to 10, giving users a more cost-effective experience.
In a move called ‘BNB Chain Fusion’, the BNB Beacon Chain will be merged with the BSC, further improving the efficiency and security of the network. The expansion of the number of validators, which will increase from 40 to 100 in 2024, is also expected to contribute to the stability of the network.
