Odaily Planet Daily News According to official news, BNB Chain announced that the opBNB testnet Fermat hard fork is scheduled to be activated at block height 12113000, which is expected to occur between 14:00 and 14:15 Beijing time on November 3, 2023. This hard fork will lay the foundation for interoperability between opBNB and BNB Greenfield, enabling BLS signature verification and cometBFT light client verification by adding new precompiled contracts. In addition, Fermat will stabilize the L1 gas price for the L1 data cost of opBNB Layer 2 transactions. Developers should upgrade to opNode V0.2.0 and opGeth V0.2.0 before the hard fork. This will ensure that their nodes are compatible with the new precompiled contracts and continue to run smoothly after the hard fork.
