BNB BNB Chain plans to build a new Layer 1 blockchain dedicated to proxy transactions
BNB Chain said it will build a new Layer 1 blockchain dedicated to proxy transactions, but BNB (BNB) fell after the announcement.
Key Points:
BNB Chain plans to build a new Layer 1 for automated trading agents, with a testnet target to be launched by the end of 2026. The design removes public memory pools and reserves block space for clearing, cross-chain bridges, and oracle updates. After the announcement, BNB was trading at close to US$561, while the leverage ratio was still below its recent peak.
BNB Chain\'s technology roadmap
BNB Chain outlines this new Layer 1 in its H2 technology roadmap, describing it as an infrastructure that requires faster execution of automated systems and trading agents. The chain in the plan will exist in parallel with BNB Smart Chain, opBNB and Greenfield, rather than replacing them. Its stated goal is to bring the speed of on-chain transactions closer to a centralized exchange while maintaining self-custody.
\"We plan to launch the test network by the end of 2026, and the main network will be released in early 2027. More details will be announced soon.\" BNB Chain said.
The proposal focuses on the quality of implementation. It will remove the public memory pool-the starting point for common pre-transaction and sandwich attacks-and route transactions directly to block leaders through a system called TxStream. Another feature, PriorityLane, will reserve block space for time-sensitive operations, including clearing, cross-chain bridge transactions and oracle updates. This design suggests that the chain is not targeting daily transfers, but markets where timing determines the outcome of transactions.
BNB price performance
Market response was flat. Within hours of the announcement, BNB traded at about US$561, and the hourly chart showed signs of pressure rather than a breakthrough. In terms of technical indicators, the RSI is close to 30 and the MACD is below the signal line. Consolidated open interest was approximately US$536 million, below recent peaks. The funding rate remains positive at 0.0029%, indicating that long positions are still in the market, but this level does not point to excessive leverage and traders have not aggressively increased exposure after the roadmap update.
A more important signal may be the positioning of the product. BNB futures activity is biased towards large whale orders, making faster pre-confirmation, private routing and priority execution more relevant. This does not mean that the new Layer 1 will quickly push up BNB prices, but rather suggests that BNB Chain is playing a longer-term game: proxy trading, large orders and time-sensitive markets will require dedicated on-chain infrastructure.
The recent trend of BNB shows the gap between agreement news and token prices. The roadmap may change the way transactions are processed on the Internet, but stronger demand for tokens will still be needed before traders will see the upgrade as a short-term catalyst.
