BNB Chain is developing a new EVM-compatible layer-1 blockchain provisionally named NewL1, designed in particular for high-frequency trading and artificial intelligence applications. Its targets include 200-millisecond blocks, pre-confirmations in roughly 20 milliseconds, sub-second finality and more than 100,000 transactions per second. CZ confirmed that BNB will remain the sole token used for gas fees, staking and governance across BNB Chain and the future network. NewL1 is not yet publicly available: it currently operates on an internal development network, while a public testnet is planned for late 2026 and a mainnet launch for early 2027.
