BNB Chain Enables Pasteur Hard Fork to Enhance BSC Cross-Chain Bridge Security and Block Transaction Capacity

Odaily News: The blockchain network BNB Chain has activated the Pasteur hard fork on the BNB Smart Chain (BSC) mainnet. The upgrade involves cross-chain bridge verification, validator authorization, staking, and governance security, while increasing block capacity without changing the 450-millisecond block time.

This upgrade includes BEP-682, BEP-695, and BEP-675, which address duplicate validator entries, validator key rotation and penalty governance, and the block submission process, respectively. In the internal test environment QANet, the new process increased throughput from 1,237 transactions per second to 2,324, but the data comes from controlled testing and is not a mainnet measurement.
