Description
v1.6.2 is for BSC testnet Fermi hardfork: Fermi. Fermi hard fork is a critical upgrade to further reduce block interval from 750ms to 450ms, so users will have even better experience. Here is the list of Fermi BEPs:
- BEP-590: Extended Voting Rules for Fast Finality Stability
- BEP-619: Short Block Interval Phase Three: 0.45 Seconds
- BEP-592: Non-Consensus Based Block-Level Access List
- BEP-593: Incremental Snapshot
- BEP-610: Implement EVM Super Instruction
Here is the timeline of BSC Fermi hard fork
- Testnet: 2025-11-10 02:25:00 AM UTC
- Mainnet: TBD
Besides the BEPs, v1.6.2 also include several improvements for miner, MEV and performance, and also includes two new features. Here is the description of the two new features:
- new websocket RPC filter API for transaction receipts. (#3363)
- new configuration "ProxyedNodeIds" to improve block propagation efficiency.(#3417)
