BNB Chain Mainnet Just Activated the Maxwell Hardfork—Here’s Why It Matters
BNB Chain's Maxwell hardfork is live—and it's packing upgrades that'll make TradFi engineers blush.
Gas fees got slashed, validators got stricter rules, and EVM compatibility just leveled up. No more 'mainnet congestion' excuses.
Fun detail: The upgrade rolled out smoother than a hedge fund's bankruptcy filing. Meanwhile, Ethereum L2s are still wrestling with their 15th bridge exploit this year.
Pro tip: Watch how this plays with BNB's staking APY. The chain's been quietly eating Ethereum's lunch on institutional validators since Q1.
