BNB Chain to Implement Lorentz Upgrade in April 2025 to Boost Network Efficiency

BNB Chain has officially announced its upcoming Lorentz upgrade, scheduled for April 2025. This strategic move will significantly enhance network performance and user experience.The Lorentz upgrade will reduce the block time to 1.5 seconds, resulting in faster transaction speeds and improved overall network efficiency. This initiative marks a major step in BNB Chain's roadmap to optimize scalability and compete with other high-performance blockchain ecosystems.Looking ahead, BNB Chain plans to launch a second upgrade named Maxwell in June 2025. This upgrade will further accelerate block production by lowering block time to 0.75 seconds, making it one of the fastest Layer 1 networks in the industry.These consecutive upgrades are expected to improve dApp responsiveness, enhance user satisfaction, and support the ecosystem’s growing demand across DeFi, gaming, and real-world asset (RWA) platforms.
