Description

Release v1.4.14 is a hard fork release for BSC Mainnet, the HF name is: Bohr.
The target Bohr hard fork time will be:

• Mainnet: 2024-09-26 02:20:00 AM UTC

There are 4 BEPs in Bohr:

• BEP-341: Validators can produce consecutive blocks
• BEP-402: Complete missing fields in Block Header to generate Signature
• BEP-404: Clear Miner History when Switching Validators Set
• BEP-410: Add Agent for Validators

Among these BEPs, BEP-341 holds the most significance as it proposes a change to the block production protocol. However, BEP-341 will only come into effect after the affirmative outcome of a governance vote.
And BEP-402 updates the block header signature logic, please pay special attention if your product involves the logic of block header verification.
The other 2 BEPs, BEP-404 and BEP-410 are for some enhancement and unlikely to have compatibility issue.

Mandatory Update: Yes

Haber and Tycho(Cancun: BlobTx) hard fork will be enabled on BSC mainnet simultaneously, so this release also supports the Tycho hard fork, detail of Tycho hard fork may refer https://github.com/bnb-chain/bsc/releases/edit/v1.4.7

Description

Release v1.4.8 is a cut-in hard fork release for BSC Testnet and Mainnet, the HF name is: Haber, it only supports one BEP: BEP-381: Precompile for secp256r1 Curve Support

As there is strong demand for supporting of secp256r1 pre-compile contract, we decide to move it faster.
And BSC would use address 0x100, which is same as other major chains to make it easier for developers.
Developers may refer this code on how to use this pre-compile contract: https://github.com/getclave/clave-contracts/blob/master/contracts/helpers/VerifierCaller.sol

The target Haber hard fork time will be:

• Testnet: 2024-05-29 06:07:00 AM UTC
• Mainnet: 2024-06-20 06:05:00 AM UTC

Changelog

Description

Release v1.4.7 is a hard fork release for BSC Mainnet, the HF name is: Tycho, it mainly support Cancun EIPs on BSC:

• a.BEP-336: Implement EIP-4844: ProtoDanksharding
• b.BEP-343: Implement EIP-1153: Transient storage opcodes
• c.BEP-344: Implement EIP-6780: SELFDESTRUCT only in same transaction
• d.BEP-342: Implement EIP-5656: MCOPY
• e.BEP-345: Implement EIP-7516: BLOBBASEFEE opcode

But BSC won’t support “EIP-4788: BeaconRoot”, as there is no CL on BSC.

The target Tycho hard fork time will be:

• Mainnet: 2024-06-20 06:05:00 AM UTC

After Tycho hard fork, BSC will also support Blob Transaction, which will provide similar mechanism as Ethereum EIP-4844. And BSC L2 rollup could take advantage of it to reduce the rollup cost.
If you have any question about it, pls refer: FAQ: About EIP-4844 on BSC
