BNB Chain is developing a new Layer 1 blockchain targeting a 2027 launch that will operate alongside the existing BNB Smart Chain, using BNB as the core token while aiming to dramatically improve transaction confirmation speeds. The project is in advanced development with an internal network running and plans for a public testnet in late 2026, but details on interoperability and integration remain scarce.
