BNB Chain Unveils High-Speed Blockchain for AI Agent Trading

BNB Chain is developing a new Layer 1 blockchain specifically designed for AI agent-based trading. The project aims to deliver execution speeds comparable to centralized exchanges while maintaining user self-custody of assets.

The new chain, which will be launched in early 2027, will use a 'TxStream' architecture that eliminates the public mempool to prevent front-running and sandwich attacks. This design sends transactions directly to the block producer, who rotates every 200 milliseconds to minimize the risk of monopoly or censorship.

With a target of reducing transaction pre-confirmation times to under 50 milliseconds, the new chain is expected to support over 100,000 transactions per second through features like parallel execution. This level of performance will provide the infrastructure needed for automated trading strategies while maintaining user self-custody.
