The BNB Chain's Pascal hardfork upgrade will be deployed on the mainnet on March 20. The upgrade brings improved EVM compatibility and developer flexibility, allowing wallets to act as smart contracts for gasless transactions and batch approvals. Participants, including node operators, validators, exchanges, and developers, need to update to ensure compatibility. The chain has upcoming milestones in network speed with the Lorentz and Maxwell hardforks in April and June 2025. These upgrades are aimed at improving user experience and onboarding for decentralized applications and targeting traction in decentralized finance and artificial intelligence. The intersection of DeFi and AI has led to the expansion of the DeFAI ecosystem, offering benefits in yield generation, cross-chain intelligence, and liquidity management.
