BNB Chain's Pasteur hard fork raises block gas limit by 28%
- —BEP-675 removes one of three EVM passes, improving block-building efficiency
- —Peak block gas rose to 43.8M versus 33.8M under the old format
- —98% of BSC blocks in the three days to September 1 used the new BidBlock V2 format
- —Testnet throughput rose from 1,237 to 2,324 TPS (+88%)
Why it matters: Higher block capacity lowers fees and makes BNB Chain more attractive to dApps and institutions, but the BNB price has not yet reacted.
