BNB Chain Targets Speed Boost as Paradigm Invests Big in AI

BNB Chain has outlined plans to further increase its capacity by two times in the second half of 2026, following recent improvements that boosted mainnet throughput to approximately 5,200 transactions per second. The network's H2 technical roadmap also includes an AI-focused blockchain designed to handle intensive computational workloads.

Paradigm has raised $1.2 billion for a new venture fund focused on artificial intelligence and robotics, marking a significant shift from the traditional token-centric projects often associated with crypto investment. This move by one of the industry's leading capital allocators underscores growing interest in AI applications within the sector.
