BNB Chain opens a dedicated chain for AI agents, with 50ms pre-confirmation + 100k TPS. These performance parameters look like they're meant to keep high-frequency trading bots well-fed.

CoinWorld News: BNB Chain is developing a new Layer1 blockchain specifically designed for AI agent transactions, with plans to launch a testnet by the end of 2026 and deploy the mainnet in early 2027. The new chain will run in parallel with the existing BNB Chain, targeting transaction pre-confirmation within 50 milliseconds, 100,000 TPS, finality within one second, and reducing the risk of frontrunning and sandwich attacks by eliminating the public mempool. BNB Chain CTO David Z stated that the new chain aims to maintain on-chain self-custody and transparency. Additionally, BNB Chain disclosed that it is researching quantum-resistant security solutions and plans to support future quantum security migration through account abstraction.
