With BNB recently surpassing $1,000, the network faces a key question. How can it remain competitive for traders, developers, and investors in the next wave of crypto innovation? According to BNB Chain, the answer lies in gas fees and block speed.
Validators on BNB Chain are proposing to halve gas fees by reducing the minimum gas price from 0.1 Gwei to 0.05 Gwei and accelerating block intervals from 750 milliseconds to 450 milliseconds.
Strengthening BSC for Traders and Developers
Gas fees are more than just the cost of using the network. They guide where liquidity flows, where traders operate, and where developers choose to build. Past fee reductions show the impact clearly. In April 2024, gas dropped from 3 Gwei to 1 Gwei, and in May 2025, it fell again to 0.1 Gwei. These moves drove median fees down 75% from $0.04 to $0.01 and boosted daily transactions by 140%. Surpassing 12 million.
Lowering gas fees to 0.05 Gwei could reduce transaction costs to around half a cent, making BNB Chain competitive with fast chains like Solana and Base. For traders, market makers, and developers sensitive to fees, this strengthens BSC as a preferred network for trading activity. Data from June 2025 shows that swap-related transactions surged to 67 percent of network activity, highlighting that trading dominates the chain. Meanwhile, staking APY remains above 0.5 percent, supported by increased trading volumes and $BNB’s price growth, ensuring validators continue to earn healthy rewards.
Gas fees matter.
They decide where traders build, where liquidity flows, and where innovation happens.
That’s why validators on BNB Chain are proposing to halve fees and accelerate block speeds, keeping BNB Smart Chain (BSC) competitive with the fastest chains in crypto.

The proposal also addresses infrastructure and capacity. BSC currently runs below 30% capacity, with state data verified to handle three times the current load. This means the network can absorb higher transaction volumes without compromising performance.
