Hold onto your digital wallets! The BNB Chain has just aced the Lorentz mainnet hard fork, strutting its stuff like it’s got blockchain caffeine pumping through its circuits.
Thanks to this turbo upgrade, BNB Smart Chain (BSC) chops block times down to a spicy 1.5 seconds, and OpBNB? Oh honey, it’s flexing with 0.5-second blocks — basically the Usain Bolt of Layer-2 networks.
BNB Chain Gets a Lorentz Makeover
This Lorentz thing isn’t just a fancy name; it’s like giving your grandma a skateboard: faster transactions, snappier dApps, and a user experience that might finally make crypto feel less like a Rubik’s Cube.
“Welcome everyone to experience a faster and smoother BNB Chain,” the network chimed, probably sipping an energy drink.
It’s the sequel to the Pascal hard fork, which laid the runway for this blockchain takeoff — and spoiler alert: the sky’s looking clear for developers and users craving speed and low latency.
One wisecracking user threw shade: “Lorentz at 1.5s blocks? Solana’s already at 0.4s. Maxwell’s at 0.75s… BNB’s roadmap is like evolution on rocket fuel.” 🚀
Meanwhile, the price of BNB is playing it cool, nudging up by a fashionably modest 0.29% in the last day. It’s now partying at $608.22 per coin.
On the other side of the cryptoverse, Ethereum’s Fusaka hard fork drama is like a soap opera—full of intrigue, scrapped plans, and developer drama thicker than a London fog.
Remember EOF? The EVM Object Format was supposed to be the shiny new toy for Fusaka, promising to modernize Ethereum’s virtual machine and make life easier for devs. But plans changed faster than a blockchain meme goes viral.
Ethereum Foundation’s Tomasz Kajetan Stańczak dropped the bombshell on April 28: EOF is out of the May 7 Pectra upgrade—and Fusaka’s inclusion? Still up in the air like a diva’s latest demand.
“The Pectra upgrade does not include EOF, nor intended to include EOF. Everything on Pectra is going as planned for the May 7th release,” Tomasz declared, trying to keep calm amid the chaos.
EOF’s Exit Stage Left
Ethereum core dev Tim Beiko confirmed the EOF’s ousting from Fusaka, waving goodbye to what some called overcomplication and potential project hiccups.
“EOF was removed from the Fusaka network upgrade today,” Beiko announced, probably dodging the developer drama like a pro.
Apparently, developer powwows ended with more shouting than harmony. EOF sparked fierce debates: Was it a vital tech evolution or just a shiny symbol for the sake of it?
Storm from Paradigm summed it up: “EOF is probably dead due to a lack of rough consensus. This is a massive milestone… symbolic of Ethereum evolving toward maximal consideration of user impact.” 🌩️
Some blockchain brainiacs worried EOF added maintenance nightmares—the kind of thing that makes you want to tear your hair out—while others cheered that dropping it means users finally get a say, not just technocrats.
EOF fans argued it would’ve been like Spring cleaning for Ethereum’s code—cleaner, modular, and hey, maybe the “world computer of humanity” could have looked a bit prettier.
With Fusaka now gliding toward Q3 or Q4 2025 (because why not keep everyone on their toes?), the Ethereum community is stuck in the age-old “innovate or over-engineer” debate.
Short story: while BNB Chain is busy sprinting to win the tech Olympics, Ethereum is holing up in a philosophy café debating the meaning of blockchain life. Speed or soul? Decide your fighter. 🚦🤔
