BNB Chain’s Pascal hard fork aims to enhance Ethereum compatibility and smart contract wallet functionality.
BNB Chain is gearing up for its Pascal hard fork, targeting mid-March 2025 for the mainnet deployment, with the testnet fork slated for February.
This upgrade aims to bolster the network’s Ethereum compatibility by introducing native smart contract wallets, a feature also anticipated in Ethereum's forthcoming Pectra upgrade.
These smart contract wallets incorporate spending limits and batch transactions while also improving security through multisignature support. The integration of BEP-439 (equivalent to Ethereum’s EIP-2537) will enable the consolidation of multiple digital signatures into one to streamline transaction verifications.
