Transition to BEP333
BNB Chain announces the phased decommissioning of the Beacon Chain in favor of the BEP333, aimed at bolstering security and operational efficiency.
Purpose of BEP333
The BEP333, also known as BNB Chain Fusion, aims to streamline the transition from a dual-chain to a single-chain structure, enhancing the ecosystem's performance.
Guidelines for Asset Holders
While Bitcoin and BNB holders needn't relocate their assets, holders of cryptocurrencies without cross-chain transfer capabilities must contact respective token owners before decommissioning.
Increased Network Activity
Following the disclosure, Token Terminal's data highlighted a 6.4% surge in revenue within the last 24 hours, indicating escalated activity on the BNB Chain.
