Get ready, Pascal hardfork is coming! 👷
In just a few hours, the Pascal hardfork will occur on mainnet (March 20, 02:10:00 AM UTC).
Here's everything you need to know about this hardfork 👇
What is the Pascal Hardfork?
BNB Chain’s testnet has successfully implemented EIP-7702 through the Pascal hardfork. This makes it one of the earliest chains to adopt this EVM upgrade.
Pascal is a major upgrade to BNB Smart Chain (BSC) that improves EVM compatibility & introduces EIP-7702, enabling:
✅ Gas abstraction
✅ Smart contract wallets
✅ Batch transactions & better UX
✅ More flexibility for developers
It’s a big step forward for the BNB Chain.
Who needs to upgrade?
🔸Node operators & validators: Update to v1.5.7 (BSC) or v0.5.2/v.0.5.6 (opBNB)
🔸Exchanges & infra providers: Ensure compatibility before the hardfork
🔸Developers: Test & update dApps for new transaction types.
Important: If you don’t update, your node may be out of sync after the hardfork.
What’s new in Pascal?
The biggest upgrade is EIP-7702 smart contract wallets.
With EIP-7702, wallets can temporarily act as smart contracts, allowing:
✅ Gasless transactions via payments
✅ Batch approvals & swaps in one click
✅ Easier onboarding for users new to Web3.
⚠️ Reminder: Be sure to upgrade before March 20, 02:10:00 AM UTC.
