BNB Chain is pursuing development of a high-performance, EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain tentatively called NewL1, optimized for latency-sensitive workloads such as high-frequency trading and AI-based transactions, Crypto Briefing reported.
According to updated technical documents cited by the outlet, the network targets 200-millisecond block times, around 20 milliseconds in pre-confirmation, sub-one-second transaction finality and throughput of more than 100,000 transactions per second. To support that, BNB Chain plans to upgrade Parlia, the consensus mechanism used by the existing BNB Chain, while applying consensus optimization and parallel execution.
The roadmap also includes native account abstraction with programmable account features and a shielded privacy pool designed to strengthen transaction privacy. BNB Chain is targeting a public testnet for NewL1 by late 2026 and a mainnet launch in early 2027.
BNB Chain described the new network as a way to expand the ecosystem rather than a replacement for BNB Smart Chain, or BSC. Zhao Changpeng, also known as CZ, said BNB would remain the only token used for gas fees, staking and governance across the broader BNB Chain network, including BSC and the new Layer 1.
