BNB Chain's Pasteur Hard Fork Strengthens Bridge Security and Boosts Transactions

BNB Chain has activated its Pasteur hard fork on BSC to strengthen bridge security and increase transaction capacity. The upgrade combines three BNB Evolution Proposals, including BEP-682, which rejects duplicate validator entries during cross-chain light-block verification, and BEP-675, which changes how specialist builders submit blocks to validators.

The Pasteur hard fork aims to improve the network's bridge, staking, and governance security while allowing for more transactions per block without changing the 450-millisecond block time. The upgrade is designed to address security gaps in bridge verification and validator authorization.
