BSC will deploy the Fermi Hardfork on January 14, 2026, at 2:30 AM, enhancing the network's efficiency, security, and validator flexibility. The upgrade, version v1.6.5, introduces a new gas fee cap and eliminates the handshake mechanism, while also improving filtermaps checkpoints for better state synchronization. This development comes as BNB Smart Chain continues to grow, recently reaching 52.5 million unique addresses, solidifying its position as the most active blockchain. The Fermi Hardfork marks another significant step in BSC's ongoing efforts to improve its network capabilities.
