Description
v1.5.16 is for BSC Mainnet Maxwell hard fork, which is expected to be enabled at: 2025-06-30 02:30:00 AM UTC, all BSC Mainnet nodes need to be upgraded to v1.5.16 before the hard fork time. For this upgrade, simply binary replacement should be enough.
Maxwell includes 3 BEPs, mainly to reduce block interval from 1.5 seconds to 0.75 seconds:
- BEP-524: shorter block interval phase two: 0.75 seconds
- BEP-563: add Enhanced Validator Network proposal
- BEP-564: add New Block Fetching Messages proposal
Besides the 0.75 seconds block interval update, there are several other key parameters will be updated:
- Epoch: will increase from 500 to 1000
- TurnLength: will increase from 8 to 16
- Other Parameters: pls refer BEP-524: Parameter Changes
Beside hard fork changes, there are several other improvements and bug fixes, For details, pls refer the change log.
