BEP-675 Boosts BSC Testnet Throughput by 88% to 2,324 TPS

The Binance Smart Chain (BSC) testnet has seen an impressive boost in transaction throughput, thanks to the implementation of BEP-675. This new performance proposal has increased throughput by a staggering 88%, achieving 2,324 transactions per second (TPS). The upgrade eliminates redundant block execution steps, allowing builders to submit fully executed blocks directly.

The test was conducted on QANet, a cross-region testnet replicating mainnet conditions. Under BEP-675, average block gas usage rose to 84.15M per block, up from 46.35M, and median usage jumped from 29.49M to 98.99M.

This change directly addresses prior inefficiencies where up to a quarter of blocks were submitted partially filled due to time constraints. BNB Chain noted in its 2026 roadmap that BEP-675 unlocks significant scalability potential by removing the duplicate execution bottleneck.
