BNB Chain’s Pasteur Hard Fork: What Actually Changes? .@BNBCHAIN is set for the Pasteur Hard Fork on August 25, bringing 3 upgrades focused on security, validator integrity, and scalability. 1⃣ Stronger bridge security BEP-682 prevents the same validator signature from being counted multiple times, reducing risks in cross-chain transfers. → Better protection for users and assets. 2⃣ Stricter validator rules BEP-695 closes loopholes in validator key management, making it harder to avoid penalties. → More accountable validators. 3⃣ Higher transaction capacity BEP-675 lets block builders pre-execute blocks before validator verification. Internal tests boosted throughput from 1,237 → 2,324 TPS, nearly 2x. → Less congestion and smoother performance during high activity.
