Odaily Planet Daily News According to an official announcement, BNB Chain announced that it has successfully adapted and integrated the Ethereum client Erigon 3 with the Parlia consensus protocol. Parlia is the consensus mechanism used by BNB Chain (BSC), which combines the characteristics of DPoS and PoA. BNB holders elect validators to achieve faster block generation time and lower transaction costs. The integration of Erigon 3 with Parlia will bring performance improvements to users. On the BSC testnet (Chapel), Erigon 3 showed significant performance improvements: disk usage was reduced by 50%, and synchronization time was shortened from one week to about 10 hours. BNB Chain plans to release the mainnet version around September 30, 2024, and will continue to support Erigon 2 for a period of time to ensure a smooth transition. Currently, the Erigon 3 Alpha 2 version is online on the testnet, and users can test it and provide feedback.
