BNB Chain Activates Pasteur Hard Fork to Enhance BSC Cross-Chain Bridge Security and Block Capacity

BNB Chain has activated the Pasteur hard fork on the BNB Smart Chain (BSC) mainnet. The upgrade involves cross-chain bridge validation, validator authorization, staking, and governance security, while also increasing block capacity and maintaining a block time of 450 milliseconds. This upgrade includes BEP-682, BEP-695, and BEP-675, which address duplicate validator entries, validator key rotation and penalty governance, and block submission processes. In the internal testing environment QANet, the throughput of the new process increased from 1,237 transactions per second to 2,324 transactions per second, but this data comes from controlled testing and is not a measurement from the mainnet.
