The validators on the BNB channel proposed to reduce the price of the minimum gas by 0.1 GWEI to 0.05 GWEI while reducing block intervals from 750 milliseconds to 450 milliseconds.
The objective is to reduce average transaction costs to around $ 0.005, making the network competitive with low -cost chains such as Solana and Base.
The proposal follows a decision in April 2024 to reduce gas by 3 GWEI to 1 GWEI, and again in May, it was reduced to 0.1 GWEI, with costs of 75% accordingly.
“As long as APY’s implementation remains greater than 0.5%, the BNB channel should strive to have the lowest possible gas costs,” notes the proposal, supervising ultra-basic costs as a central principle of network growth.
The time of the proposal is essential; The chain trading activity is booming with a decentralized scholarship aster emerging as the location of small groups.
According to CoinmarketCap, the exchange processed 29.37 billion dollars in perpetual term in the last 24 hours. Defillama’s data show Aster generating $ 7.2 million in daily income, or more than $ 2.79 million in double hyperliquid.
This strength is reflected in their tokens. Asth jumped 37% in the last 24 hours, going from its market capitalization of $ 931 million a week ago to $ 3.74 billion. On the other hand, the media threshing has lost billions in value, going from $ 14.88 billion to $ 11.73 billion.
Transactions related to exchanges already dominate the activity of the BNB chain, going from 20% at the start of 2025 to 67% by June. The proposal notes that a lower cost environment could cause additional growth.
The BNB token, on the other hand, is down 1% in the last 24 hours, but remains above a key psychological level at $ 1,000 with a daily volume exceeding $ 3.8 billion.
