BNB Chain Throughput Hits 5,200 TPS as Roadmap Targets Another 2x Gain

BNB Chain says BSC throughput rose to 5,200 TPS as block intervals fell to 450 ms and H2 targets another 2x gain.

BNB Chain said BSC benchmark throughput rose to about 5,200 transactions per second by June 2026. The figure nearly doubled from about 2,800 TPS in January, according to BNB Chain’s H2 2026 roadmap.

The network also reduced block intervals from 750 milliseconds to 450 milliseconds. Memory finality dropped from 1,125 milliseconds to 650 milliseconds during the same period.

A block interval is the time between new blocks on a blockchain. Finality means the point when a transaction is considered settled and difficult to reverse.

BNB Chain said its second-half target is another 2x throughput increase. The roadmap places that goal within a longer plan for wider network scaling.

BSC Performance Improves in First Half

BNB Chain said its first-half work focused on speed, throughput, and protocol stability. The latest figures show progress across those areas.

BSC’s block interval improved from 750 ms to 450 ms. That change can reduce waiting time for users and applications.

BNB Chain glo 🆙 in 2026 so far

Block intervals: 750 ms → 450 ms
Memory finality: 1,125 ms → 650 ms
Benchmark throughput: ~2,800 → ~5,200 TPS

H2 goes further, targeting another 2x throughput increase.

Memory finality improved from 1,125 ms to 650 ms. Faster finality can help apps confirm transactions with less delay.

Benchmark throughput rose from about 2,800 TPS to about 5,200 TPS. TPS measures how many transactions a network can process each second.

Upgrades Behind the Network Gains

BNB Chain said several engineering upgrades supported the first-half performance gains. These included Block-Level Access List, Incremental Snapshot, EVM SuperInstruction, and Extended Voting Rules.

Block-Level Access List helps the network prepare transaction data before execution. This can improve efficiency and support future parallel processing.

Incremental Snapshot helps new or delayed nodes sync faster with the chain. A node is a computer that helps run the blockchain.

EVM SuperInstruction reduces repeated execution work inside the network’s virtual machine. Extended Voting Rules are designed to improve finality during difficult network conditions.

H2 Roadmap Targets More Scaling

BNB Chain said H2 will target another 2x throughput increase on BSC mainnet. The roadmap also refers to a longer 10x performance path.

The team plans to use BEP-675 and further tuning to raise capacity. It also plans more execution improvements linked to BAL.

BNB Chain also plans stronger congestion controls during peak activity. Dedicated lanes may help reduce disruption between different applications.

The roadmap also includes gas fee changes for specific business sectors. Gas fees are transaction costs paid by blockchain users.

BNB Chain said a new Layer 1 design is also in development. Its targets include 100,000-plus TPS and sub-50 millisecond transaction preconfirmation.
