BNB Chain Enhances Network to Tackle Rising Gas Fees Amid Memecoin Frenzy

BNB Chain Enhances Network to Tackle Rising Gas Fees Amid Memecoin Frenzy

BNB Chain has introduced a key upgrade to its BSC network as surging memecoin speculation leads to higher transaction fees and congestion issues.

Currently, BSC validators finalize bids once they reach the block limit, with new blocks produced every three seconds. However, when network activity spikes, certain time-sensitive transactions—such as those involving memecoins—fail to be processed in time.

To address this, the network’s latest adjustment allows validators to evaluate more bids within the same three-second timeframe. This increases the likelihood of prioritizing higher-value transactions over less urgent ones, particularly benefiting users involved in rapid trading.

The update aims to improve block efficiency and ensure that transactions interacting with volatile assets, like memecoins, have a better chance of inclusion during peak periods.

Recent network activity has driven BNB transaction fees to historic highs. Over the past week, users have spent nearly $15 million on fees—far surpassing Ethereum’s $7 million and second only to Solana’s $29 million, per Nansen data. This marks a staggering 388% increase from previous levels.

Analysts suggest that a key factor behind this surge could be the temporary halt in Binance’s legal proceedings with the SEC. Meanwhile, memecoins inspired by Binance founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao’s dog, Broccoli, have fueled further activity, benefiting platforms like PancakeSwap.
