BSC Fermi Hard Fork is here: block interval reduced to 450ms, throughput is about to take off
【Crypto World】The BNB Chain development team has announced that the Fermi hard fork upgrade is coming. The scheduled time is January 14, 2026, at 10:30 AM. What are the core changes in this upgrade? Simply put, it speeds up block generation—originally one block every 750 milliseconds, now reduced to 450 milliseconds.
This may seem like just a parameter adjustment, but it actually has a significant impact. What does shortening the block interval mean? In plain terms, it increases the number of transactions processed per unit time. Network throughput improves, transaction confirmation speeds up, and user experience will definitely be perceptible. For ecosystems like BSC that involve high-frequency trading and active DeFi, this optimization can significantly alleviate network congestion, especially during periods of market volatility.
Of course, such an upgrade isn’t made arbitrarily—it requires all network nodes to adopt the new parameter standards, so a hard fork is necessary. For projects and users within the ecosystem, this is essentially a transparent upgrade, with no need to worry about compatibility issues—only an improvement in network speed and efficiency.
In practice, who knows when it will actually be implemented.
---
Wait, it's been over a year again. I'll wipe away the tears over gas fees first.
---
Througput taking off sounds great, but I'm afraid it's just talk.
---
Anyway, I don't believe it unless it actually goes live.
---
Will the hard fork mess something up again this time?
---
It's all just talk, when will it really be faster?
---
It's been over a year again. Come on earlier, brothers.
---
If it can really be achieved, can my gas fees be halved?
---
The contracts are looking forward to it, but network congestion has been a pain for a long time.
---
Wait, does this mean the gas fee will be cheaper?
---
All talk is the same; the key is whether people will use it after launch.
---
It's another year later, do you still remember then?
---
No need to worry about compatibility with hard forks? That statement confused me a bit.
---
Throughput is taking off, small tokens are going to suffer.
---
450ms, how does that compare to Ethereum? Is it still slow?
---
Another hard fork? Will this really solve the congestion this time?
---
Wait, is this about Sol's throughput?
---
Investors are probably getting nervous again. Every upgrade they worry about compatibility.
---
We've been waiting for 2026, a few months don't matter. Looking forward to seeing the results.
---
Feels like rehashing old news. We said speed would be increased before, now it's finally happening?
---
Starting at 450ms, the coin price will also rise along with it, that would be perfect haha.
---
Transparent upgrades are indeed good, at least no need to worry about being exploited.
But speaking of which, is this upgrade reliable? Could it just be a paper improvement...
Oh my god, finally someone is addressing network congestion
Wait, is this really about speeding up or just another pie in the sky?
Cut 300 milliseconds, how many times can throughput increase? Has anyone tested it?
2026? That's too far away. Will people still be using BSC by then?
If the speed increases, will the gas fees become cheaper? That's the key
Emm, hard fork, should worry about how those small tokens in the ecosystem will be affected
---
Another year's promise, whether it can be delivered on time in 2026 remains to be seen.
---
Throughput taking off? It depends on the actual results, not just on paper data.
---
I have to give a good review for the transparent upgrade; at least it's not sneaky.
---
450ms vs 750ms, it doesn't feel as revolutionary as imagined.
---
Anyway, I'm still waiting for Ethereum news.
---
If it can really reduce gas, I would believe it. Anything said now doesn't count.
