v1.4.8

Notice

Mandatory Update: Yes

Haber and Tycho(Cancun: BlobTx) hard fork will be enabled on BSC mainnet simultaneously, so this release also supports the Tycho hard fork, detail of Tycho hard fork may refer https://github.com/bnb-chain/bsc/releases/edit/v1.4.7

Description

Release v1.4.8 is a cut-in hard fork release for BSC Testnet and Mainnet, the HF name is: Haber, it only supports one BEP: BEP-381: Precompile for secp256r1 Curve Support

As there is strong demand for supporting of secp256r1 pre-compile contract, we decide to move it faster.
And BSC would use address 0x100, which is same as other major chains to make it easier for developers.
Developers may refer this code on how to use this pre-compile contract: https://github.com/getclave/clave-contracts/blob/master/contracts/helpers/VerifierCaller.sol

The target Haber hard fork time will be:

• Testnet: 2024-05-29 06:07:00 AM UTC
• Mainnet: 2024-06-20 06:05:00 AM UTC

Changelog

FEATURE

• #2483 core/vm: add secp256r1 into PrecompiledContractsHaber
• #2400 RIP-7212: Precompile for secp256r1 Curve Support

v1.4.7

Description

Release v1.4.7 is a hard fork release for BSC Mainnet, the HF name is: Tycho, it mainly support Cancun EIPs on BSC:

• a.BEP-336: Implement EIP-4844: ProtoDanksharding
• b.BEP-343: Implement EIP-1153: Transient storage opcodes
• c.BEP-344: Implement EIP-6780: SELFDESTRUCT only in same transaction

After Tycho hard fork, BSC will also support Blob Transaction, which will provide similar mechanism as Ethereum EIP-4844. And BSC L2 rollup could take advantage of it to reduce the rollup cost.
If you have any question about it, pls refer: FAQ: About EIP-4844 on BSC

v1.3.13

Description

This release is going to enable the Feynman upgrade on BSC mainnet. The upgrade is forecasted to occur on 18th April 2024 at 05:49 (UTC). The full node runners on mainnet must switch their software version to the latest version by 18th April.

Feyman upgrade is the most important milestone of BNB Chain Fusion. The BNB Chain Fusion is a strategic shift to migrate the Beacon Chain’s functionalities to BNB Smart Chain (BSC) and retire Beacon Chain. This move aims to streamline the network, improve efficiency, reduce security risks, and align BNB Chain's architecture with the current technological demands and future growth. BEP333 propose to securely and smoothly transit the BNB Beacon Chain and BNB Smart Chain (BSC) from a dual-chain structure into a single chain structure and thus decommission the Beacon Chain.

Due to Feyman's upgrade, it will have a significant impact on the BNB ecosystem. We welcome the community to submit issues on GitHub or Discord. Kindly remind that BNB Chain has a bug bounty program if anyone find any security issues.

For BNB Beacon Chain Asset Holders

After BC Fusion, users will find it either impossible or extremely challenging to access assets on the BNB Beacon Chain. Here is a detailed guide designed to assist digital asset issuers and holders on the BNB Beacon Chain in transferring the value of their assets, like BEP2/BEP8 tokens, both before and after the Beacon Chain Fusion.

Here is an outline of all important milestones in the BNB Chain Fusion roadmap, set to facilitate a smooth transition for the BNB Chain community.

Brief Introduction of Feynman Upgrade

BEP-294, BEP-297 and BEP-299 will be deployed in the BSC Feynman hard fork.

1. BEP-294 will take effect immediately. Validators created on BSC will receive triple voting power when staking an equal amount of BNB. This encourages the transfer of voting power from the Beacon Chain to BSC.

2. The BEP-297 governance functionality will not be activated immediately after the hardfork. It will only be automatically enabled once more than 10 million BNB are migrated to BSC.

3. The smart contract of BEP-299 is not available as the merkel root in the smart contract is still empty at this time. Only after the Beacon Chain comes to a complete halt, the Token Migration feature will be initiated by setting the Merkle root for balance dump through governance.

4. Cross-chain re-delegation, which allows users to un-delegate their stakes from Beacon Chain and then delegate them on BSC in one Beacon Chain transaction, will be enabled after governance opening the related cross-chain channel.

v1.4.3-alpha

Notice

BSC uses PBSS&PebbleDB as the default and primary mode now, will mainly focus the stability and performance of PBSS&PebbleDB. And for HashBased&LevelDB mode, it still can work, but the support will be limited.
If you are still running BSC with HashBased & LevelDB, you'd better switch to PBSS&PebbleDB mode ASAP.
For more detail, pls refer: FAQ: PBSS & PebbleDB

Description

Release v1.4.3-alpha is a maintenance release, although it includes PR of Testnet FeynmanFix hard fork, but as 1.4.x is still at alpha status, for FeymanFix hard fork, you'd better try v1.3.12

v1.4.3-alpha mainly includes these parts:

• 1.Use PebbleDB as the default database
• 2.Use PBSS as the default state scheme
• 3.Some non-critical changes, like: no snap sync for fastnode; new flag: --instance; new cmd to delete trie state; some bugfix.

Same as previous v1.4.x-alpha, it could have some unknown risks or bugs there. It is not encouraged to run this version in your crucial business, but it would be appreciated if you can help try it in some non-crucial business environment and report bugs that you find.
