BNB Chain targets 5,000 DEX swaps per second in 2025
In its outlook for the remainder of 2025 and 2026, BNB Chain plans to increase its block gas limit from 100 million to 1 billion to keep up with user demand and ensure smooth activity across decentralized applications (DApps).
The network said it's rolling out a Rust-based client optimized for high-throughput performance. This will be built on Ethereum's Reth architecture with some modifications. It offers faster node syncing, improved memory management and efficient smart contract execution.
The team said the upgrade is part of a broader push to future-proof the network. BNB Chain shares upgrade plans for 2025 and 2026
BNB Chain also mentioned Super Instructions, which are optimized smart contract functions that bundle multiple operations into a single action. The network said this would streamline complex interactions like launch events and token swaps.
In addition, the network will also improve its StateDB system, aiming to reduce redundant data access and unlock faster execution across a much larger data set.
The StateDB is part of the blockchain system that manages accounts, balances, smart contracts and their data. When upgraded, the blockchain can run faster, handle more users and execute complex transactions more efficiently without overload.
In 2026, BNB Chain said it's developing a blockchain architecture capable of processing 20,000 transactions per second (TPS) with under 150 milliseconds confirmation times.
It will introduce native privacy features, upgradable virtual machines and user-friendly tools that may provide the feeling of a centralized exchange while having Web3 levels of control.
'The next phase of BNB Chain will make onchain access as intuitive as logging into your favorite app, while still giving you full control of your assets,' BNB Chain wrote. Upgrade stems from an increase in demand
A BNB Chain representative told Cointelegraph that the planned upgrades reflect the chain's current momentum and future demand.
The BNB Chain team said that the network saw significant growth in activity, logging 12.4 million daily transactions in the first half of the year. The representative also shared that the network peaked at 17.6 million transactions in a single day.
'Our 5,000 swaps per second goal this year is about proactively scaling infrastructure to ensure smooth UX during peak moments, without compromising cost, speed, or fairness,' the representative told Cointelegraph.
The representative also told Cointelegraph that the team will work with its community to explore native protocol-level privacy infrastructure. They said that users want to transact and interact with smart contracts without exposing sensitive details publicly.
'Also, professional traders eager to introduce more traditional financial services to protect their trading,' the representative said. Ethereum gears up for the upcoming years
Apart from BNB Chain, Ethereum is also gearing up for the upcoming years. On July 11, Ethereum Foundation developer Sophia Gold wrote that the network is preparing to integrate zero-knowledge technology into the mainnet.
Furthermore, Ethereum proponents are pushing the idea of layer-1 networks transitioning to Ethereum layer 2s. On Wednesday, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin suggested a minimalistic approach to building layer-2 networks, supporting the narrative of layer-1 networks switching to Ethereum.

Avoid unnecessary risks: Octa broker on crucial traders' choices
KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA - Media OutReach Newswire - 1 August 2025 - For those trading in the financial markets, choosing an online broker is the foundation of their future success. So, when seasoned traders emphasise the importance of this choice, they really mean it. Outlined below are key issues that can—and likely will—occur when choosing a broker with questionable regulation and unclear conditions. By its nature, trading encourages a systematic, data-driven approach—not limited to placing orders or planning sessions. To succeed in trading, it is also instrumental to be careful and thorough when choosing a financial broker. The nonchalant approach of some emerging traders who ask, 'What can go wrong?' and start trading with a broker without checking their licences, reviews, and conditions often leads to bitter disappointment and regret. Here is why. Problematic withdrawals One of the most common issues with unregulated brokers is the inefficient fund withdrawal process. More often than not, traders who choose to trade with such a broker are unaware of the risks they expose themselves to. Meanwhile, the unpleasant surprise can lurk around the corner and pounce when they least expect it. While depositing is usually instant, withdrawals can be delayed under various pretexts. In some cases, traders are asked to provide extraneous documentation or are told they must trade a certain volume before they can access their own money. Legitimate brokers process a vast majority of withdrawal requests within a fixed timeframe and do not impose arbitrary conditions once the necessary know-your-customer checks have been successfully completed. As a globally regulated broker, Octa follows the best international practices and partners with the most trusted and popular payments providers. The broker boasts a fast and efficient withdrawal process that many satisfied clients highlight in their reviews. Manipulating trading conditions When traders go for a less regulated or otherwise questionable broker, they can encounter shifting trading conditions. In this case, the broker's clients often find out their profits were significantly eroded by the additional charges not reflected in the terms and conditions. Manipulating conditions can include artificially widening the spread or introducing a price slippage that consistently works against the trader. In more extreme cases, such brokers may use platform-side price manipulation, where the prices on their trading platform do not reflect the real market. These tricks can disrupt traders' ability to open and close trades at fair levels, destroying the effect of even the most sound strategy. On the other hand, trusted and regulated brokers detail all the necessary information in their terms and conditions. Experienced companies like Octa and other globally operating brokers aim for long-term and mutually beneficial client relationships. They value transparency and full disclosure to create a friendly, supportive trading environment for their clients. Unsegregated clients' funds All regulated brokers are required to keep client funds in segregated accounts. This means that the company's operating capital never overlaps with the clients' funds, avoiding any potential risks in case of a market contingency. However, brokers operating without proper licenses are not required to stick to this practice. This means the clients' deposited money could be used to cover the broker's expenses or be at risk if the broker goes bankrupt. Transparency and regulation are not the default qualities of every broker. On the contrary, these crucial attributes distinguish shady companies from trusted, client-oriented brokers who aim to minimise their clients' risks. With this goal in mind, reliable brokers choose their own approaches tailored to their strengths. For example, Octa broker strives to empower traders by providing them with all the most accessible modern tools and thus equipping them for success. This also includes an efficient withdrawal process and a reliable, regulated trading environment, which enables Octa's clients to reach positive long-term outcomes. ___ Disclaimer: This press release does not contain or constitute investment advice or recommendations and does not consider your investment objectives, financial situation, or needs.
