BNB Chain 2026 Technical Roadmap: Further Reducing Gas Fees, Achieving 20,000 TPS with Sub-Second Finality

BlockBeats News, December 30, BNB Chain released its 2026 technical roadmap, announcing it will continue to adopt a dual-client strategy: a Geth-based client will serve as the stability anchor for validator compatibility and operational reliability, while a Reth-based client will act as a high-performance engine for full nodes, archive nodes, and future validator participation. The goals for 2026 include:

Achieving 20,000 TPS with sub-second finality;

Further reducing gas fees through software optimization;

Advanced consensus and network latency improvements to push finality deeper into the sub-second range.

BNB Chain aims to become the next-generation transaction chain to support extreme performance demands between 2026–2028, with key objectives including:

A target of approximately 1 million TPS, requiring sustained execution capacity of about 20 GGas per second;

Near-instant transaction confirmation, with an optimal target of 150ms;

A hybrid on-chain and off-chain computation architecture using execution proofs and attestations;

Strengthening decentralization through improved validator models and fault tolerance;

Achieving top-tier security and production reliability.
