BNB (BNB) has a Jenner hard fork scheduled for the BNB Smart Chain testnet on October 28, 2026, with a Payment Lane reserving 5 percent of each block's gas capacity for eligible payment transactions, according to BNB Chain. The upgrade is the most recent dated protocol development identified for the network within the next 14 days.

The BNB Chain guide says Jenner also adds millisecond-level timestamps for smart contracts and underlying functionality for the Compliant Asset Standard, known as CAS20. A hard fork is a coordinated protocol change that requires compatible software from network participants. The October 28, 2026 activation applies to the testnet; the guide says the related mainnet timing will be announced separately.

BNB Chain revenue reaches 54.2 million USD

BNB Chain generated 54.2 million USD in network revenue during the third quarter, up 54 percent from the prior quarter, according to TokenPost. Transaction fees contributed 49.1 million USD, while maximal extractable value payments contributed 5.1 million USD. Maximal extractable value refers to payments linked to opportunities to influence transaction ordering and block construction.

The same report put daily active addresses at 2.10 million in the third quarter. That figure declined while revenue increased, creating a counterpoint to the fee growth. BNB Chain also completed its 37th quarterly burn on October 19, 2026, removing 1,646,196.44 BNB, according to The Industry Spread. The burn mechanism sends tokens to an inaccessible address and is designed to reduce total supply over time.
