BNB Chain’s Jenner Hardfork Goes Live on BSC Testnet With Dedicated Payment Lane

BNB Chain has activated its Jenner hardfork on the BNB Smart Chain (BSC) Testnet today. The Jenner hard fork brings three key upgrades to the chain that together improves payments, RWA and DeFi on the network. The headline upgrade is Payment Lane, which reserves a slice of every block for payments, such as simple BNB transfers between wallets, so they don’t get squeezed out when activity on the network ramps up. Jenner also lets smart contracts read block times to the millisecond and lays the foundation for CAS20, which is a new token standard for stablecoins and tokenized real-world assets. BNB Chain stated that the timing of the upgrade reaching mainnet will be announced separately, while two of the three features require further governance activation.
