BNB Chain sets Jenner hardfork for testnet on October 28

The upgrade brings a reserved payment lane, a compliant asset standard, and millisecond timestamps to BNB Smart Chain's testnet BNB Chain has scheduled its next protocol upgrade. The Jenner hardfork goes live on the BNB Smart Chain testnet on October 28, 2026, and node operators have homework to do first. The upgrade bundles three BNB Evolution Proposals (BEPs). One reserves block space for payments, one creates a standard for regulated assets, and one makes the chain’s clock far more precise. The headline feature is BEP-703 , which BNB Chain calls the Payment Lane. By default, it sets aside 5% of each block’s gas for qualifying payments. Eligible traffic, such as plain BNB transfers sent to non-contract accounts, gets a guaranteed slice of the block.
