According to CoinMeta, CZ cited a tweet regarding BNB Chain's new L1 plan and stated: "Multiple chains, one currency." As quoted in that tweet from BNB Chain's official documentation, the new L1 will coexist with BSC and will be connected through a native cross-chain bridge. No independent tokens will be issued; instead, BNB will continue to be used for paying transaction fees, staking, and governance. The name of the new chain is still to be determined. The goal is to achieve a block time of 200 milliseconds and a transaction pre-confirmation time of about 20 milliseconds. Currently, an internal multi-verifier development network is in operation, with plans to launch a test network by the end of 2026 and the mainnet in early 2027.
