Odaily reported that BNB Chain has released its technology roadmap for the second half of 2026, announcing continued optimization around speed, throughput, and protocol stability. The network plans to double the throughput of the BSC mainnet again, while developing a next-generation Layer 1 architecture designed for the next decade.BNB Chain stated that in the first half of 2026, BSC completed several performance upgrades, including reducing the block interval from 750 milliseconds to 450 milliseconds, decreasing Memory Finality time from 1125 milliseconds to 650 milliseconds, and increasing baseline throughput from approximately 2800 TPS to around 5200 TPS. At the middleware level, BNB Chain has also advanced AI agent and payment infrastructure development, including the launch of BNB Agent Studio and BNB Agent SDK to support autonomous on-chain AI agent deployment. It has also continued to refine the Middleware Payment Protocol (MPP) SDK and is exploring institutional-grade privacy frameworks.For the second half of 2026, BNB Chain has outlined three core objectives:Double throughput: Through BEP-675, BAL integration, and EVM execution optimizations, drive further performance improvements on the BSC mainnet, with a long-term goal of achieving a 10x overall performance increase for the BNB Chain ecosystem;Mitigate network congestion impact: Enhance stability during peak periods through resource isolation, dedicated transaction channels, and a transaction inclusion mechanism based on the FOCIL concept;Lower barriers to entry: Optimize gas fee structures for different industries to reduce costs for enterprises entering Web2 and Web3 application scenarios.

Odaily News According to official news, ATOM Economic Zone (AEZ) long-term quadratic funding grant has completed the first round of application period on the global geek sports platform DoraHacks.io, and a total of 8 projects will enter the quadratic voting round. From January 28th to February 7th, ATOM users can vote for ATOM projects selected for Grant at Dora Vota. During the voting process, a small amount of native DORA on the Dora Vota chain must be used as a handling fee. DoraHacks platform users can receive a small amount of DORA tokens through the Dora Vota faucet to pay the handling fee. AEZ Quadratic Grant will fund public goods and emerging application chains in the Cosmos ecosystem in the long term to help expand the Cosmos application chain and the entire ATOM ecosystem. The eight projects that entered the first round of quadratic voting are Packet Forward Middleware (from the Strangelove team), Pouch, Abstract SDK and CosmWasm Orchestrator (from the Abstract team), CosmWasm Interchain Accounts Controller, Fairblock Network, The Rollup and InterChain NFT Gateway (from the Ark Protocol team), covering multiple project types such as Cosmos infrastructure/SDK, privacy, education, Defi, NFT, etc. The AEZ Quadratic Grant application and community funding portals are open to the public for a long time, and project selection and quadratic funding will be conducted regularly. The distribution of the quadratic matching bonus pool in this round is determined by community voting and due diligence results of shortlisted projects.
