BNB Chain will apply the Fermi(Fermi) upgrade in January next year to improve mainnet performance.
On the 26th (local time), according to Cointelegraph, a media specialized in virtual assets (cryptocurrencies), BNB Chain plans to activate the Fermi hard fork on the mainnet on January 14 (local time).
The core of the Fermi upgrade is shortening the block production interval from the current 750 milliseconds to 250 milliseconds. This will increase the number of transactions that can be processed per second and improve network response speed.
A new indexing mechanism will also be introduced that allows querying only the necessary data without downloading the entire block history. This feature focuses on reducing the storage space and computing resources required when operating nodes.
BNB Chain plans to simultaneously increase network scalability and operational efficiency through this upgrade.
