PANews reported on August 29 that according to the official blog, BNB Chain has successfully activated the Bohr hard fork on the BSC testnet. The Bohr upgrade on the BSC mainnet is scheduled for September 26, although this may change.
The Bohr hard fork includes four BEPs. 1. BEP 341: Allow validators to produce blocks continuously; 2. BEP 402: Generate signatures by completing missing fields in the block header; 3. BEP 404: Clear miner history when switching validator sets; 4. BEP 410: Add a proxy for validators. Among them, the most critical part of the Bohr hard fork is BEP 341, which will enable validators to produce blocks continuously.
The Bohr hard fork is an important upgrade to the BNB Chain that improves efficiency by allowing validators to produce blocks continuously. This change meets the growing needs of the ecosystem while maintaining fairness through measures such as the anti-MEV ratio. As its deployment on the mainnet approaches, the Bohr hard fork will enhance the scalability and security of the chain, ensuring that it remains robust and decentralized.
