BNB Chain Completes Pascal Hardfork, Awaits Lorentz Upgrade

BNB Chain has successfully completed the Pascal hard fork, an upgrade aimed at enhancing transaction efficiency and improving compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). The Pascal Hardfork integrates Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) 7702, enabling advanced functionalities such as gas abstraction, smart contract wallets, and batch transactions. This eliminates the need for double transactions (approval and swap) on Ethereum and introduces features like social recovery and native multi-sigs. The network is now preparing for further upgrades scheduled in April and June.
