- BNB Chain launched the Maxwell hardfork on June 30, 2025, on its mainnet to enhance network performance with faster block times.
- The upgrade followed proposals BEP-524, BEP-563, and BEP-564 that aimed to halve block times and improve validator messaging for stability and speed.
- Maxwell decreased block intervals from 1.5 seconds to 0.75 seconds, doubled epoch length to 1,000 blocks, and extended validator turns to 16 blocks each.
- BNB traded near $648–$654 with a 1% daily gain and 28% higher volume, while developers warned some MEV strategies would need adjustment due to tighter timing.
- This upgrade aims to boost BNB Chain's throughput and responsiveness, positioning it closer to high-speed blockchains and supporting broader DeFi and DApp growth.
