Pasteur Hardfork Set for BSC Mainnet as VeChain Expands EVM Compatibility
The cryptocurrency community is abuzz with various hard forks and upgrades planned for this year. One of the notable ones is the Pasteur Hardfork, which will activate on the BNB Smart Chain (BSC) mainnet on August 25, 2026 at 02:30 AM UTC.
The upgrade bundles three key features: major bridge and staking upgrades. This move aims to improve the overall functionality and security of the network. The impact of this hard fork will be felt across various DeFi applications and users.
Another development is from VeChain, which has set its sights on expanding EVM compatibility with its Interstellar phase. Proposal VIP-255 incorporates improvements from Ethereum's own upgrades. This move seeks to increase interoperability between chains and enable seamless communication between different ecosystems.
