BNB Chain to implement Fermi upgrade on mainnet Jan. 14

BNB Chain will apply the Fermi hard fork to its mainnet on Jan. 14, Cointelegraph reported. The upgrade will reduce the block generation interval from 750 milliseconds to 250 milliseconds, enabling the network to process more transactions per second. Additionally, a new indexing mechanism will be introduced, allowing users to query specific data without downloading the entire block history. This change is expected to significantly reduce the computing resources required for node operation.
