BNB Chain стремится к снижению комиссий до рекордного минимума для усиления позиций на фоне растущей конкуренции Translation: BNB Chain Aims to Lower Fees to Record Lows to Strengthen Its Position Amid Growing Competition

Validators of BNB Chain have proposed to reduce the gas fee from 0.1 to 0.05 Gwei and to decrease the block interval from 750 to 450 ms.

Consequently, transaction costs could drop to $0.005, allowing the network to maintain its competitiveness against the rising popularity of Solana and Base.

“Recently, BNB reached an all-time high of above $1000, a milestone worth acknowledging. However, this raises the question: how do we ensure that the network can deliver not just the current performance but is also prepared for the next phase of growth? The answer lies in efficiency and accessibility,” the developers commented.

In April 2024, the gas fee was already lowered from 3 to 1 Gwei (-67%), and then to 0.1 Gwei (-90%) in May 2025. These measures reduced the median fee by 75% (from $0.04 to $0.01) and boosted daily transaction volume by 140% — above 12 million.

“Some might raise concerns about risks such as failed transactions, changes in validator rewards, or infrastructure overload. With network load under 30%, there is still room for increased activity, and gas will be adjusted as necessary,” explained the developers.

The community is discussing a new principle: as long as staking yields exceed 0.5% annually, BNB Chain will aim for the lowest possible fees — approximately $0.001 per transaction.

“This balances network growth with validator rewards, ensuring long-term sustainability,” the developers clarified.

Such a drastic reduction in fees is intended to strengthen the network’s position amid intensifying competition.

“The most crucial aspect is community input. Validators and users will collectively determine the future direction of BNB Chain,” emphasized project representatives.

Currently, BNB Chain significantly lags behind Solana in terms of throughput and daily transaction volume (TPS):

The inter-block interval is nearly twice that of the competitor; however, finalization occurs 84.37% faster:

BNB Chain outperforms Base in actual and maximum TPS, as well as in transaction volume:

It also has a significant advantage over its competitor concerning inter-block interval and finalization:

In terms of total value locked (TVL) in DeFi applications, the BNB Chain ecosystem trails behind Solana ($7.82 billion compared to $11.35 billion) but surpasses Base ($4.95 billion).

It is worth noting that the BNB Chain team plans to increase the network’s performance tenfold by creating a “next-generation blockchain” by 2026.
