BNB Chain Unveils Layer 1 Blockchain for Agentic Trading

BNB Chain is working on a new layer 1 blockchain designed specifically for agentic trading. The network, which will complement the existing BNB Chain stack, aims to achieve sub-50-millisecond transaction preconfirmation and eliminate the public mempool to prevent common front-running attacks.

The mainnet launch of this new chain is expected in early 2027, following a testnet planned for late 2026. According to The Block, the project targets narrowing the performance gap between decentralized trading and centralized exchanges while preserving self-custody.

BNB Chain recently introduced BNB Agent Studio, a development platform created in partnership with the AWS Generative AI Innovation Center that simplifies the creation of autonomous AI agents. Developers can build and deploy agents in approximately 15 minutes using a text prompt, with the platform automatically configuring infrastructure, identity, crypto payments, hosting, and AI services.
