BNB Chain Completes Lorentz Testnet Hardforks, Promises Faster Blocks & Smoother Performance

The renowned blockchain ecosystem BNB Chain has achieved a monumental stride this Friday, revealing that it completed the Lorentz testnet hardforks.

As part of its journey to build the most efficient and responsive blockchain ecosystem, BNB Chain has completed the Lorentz testnet hardforks.

According to an X post on April 10, this upgrade on the blockchain ecosystem brings faster blocks and smoother performance.

“opBNB is now running at 0.5s block times & BSC testnet is live with 1.5s block times,” the X post added.

opBNB is a layer-2 scaling solution built atop BSC, a layer-1 blockchain.

The platform’s integrators and developers have been working on reducing opBNB block times and launching the BSC testnet with 1.5-second block times.

This upgrade reduces opBNB block times to 0.5 seconds and brings BSC testnet to 0.5-second block times.

Moreover, it’s worth noting that with this upgrade, builders, validators, and users will be able to experience a more responsive blockchain.
