BNB Chain recently released the 2025 strategic roadmap. The plan will upgrade from infrastructure to application ecosystem, aiming to significantly enhance the competitive advantage of the network. 21 Shares researchers briefly analyze its core strategic points.

1. Sub-second level trading speed

• BNB Chain shortens the block generation time from 3 seconds to less than 1 second;
• At the same time, maintain the processing capacity of 100 million transactions per day;
• Impact: This upgrade will achieve nearly instant DeFi transactions and AI application responses, eliminate network latency that plagues high-frequency usage scenarios, and further promote user growth.

2. Gas fee-free trading mechanism

• Users will be able to pay Gas fees using any BEP-20 token (not limited to BNB or stablecoins);
• and introduce the Gas mechanism sponsored by the organization, similar to SUI and Aptos;
• Impact: This change will enable the decentralized application (dApp) of the "free value-added" model, lower the entry threshold for users, and hope to promote the development of the Web3 subscription service model.

3. Anti-MEV protection mechanism

To deal with the problem of MEV extraction exceeding US$1.3 billion in 2024:

• BNB Chain will implement the hidden mechanism of transaction details before the final confirmation of the block;
• Focus on sandwich attacks and snatching robots;
• Impact: Provide a fairer trading environment for retail investors.

In response to the MEV threat, the community has adopted the following proposals:

• A private transaction pool (Private Mempool) relay system will be established to hide transaction information;
• Punishment of validators who facilitate MEV abuse and blacklist the builder;
• Evicting bad actors from the ecosystem through community governance votes.

4. Smart wallet upgrade

• The newly launched smart wallet will be compatible with the EIP-7702 standard;
• Supports batch trading and multi-step operations (such as completing decentralized transactions with one click);
• In the future, AI assistants will be introduced to realize portfolio management, transaction assistance and MEV detection functions.
• Goal: Committed to improving the cryptocurrency usage experience to the level of traditional payment applications.

5. AI priority infrastructure

BNB Chain will start from the following three pillars to promote the deep integration of AI and Web3:

• Code Copilot: Provides AI audit services for smart contracts;
• Data DAOs: Support users to monetize private data;
• Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs): Provides security guarantees for AI intelligent agents in DeFi scenarios.

This strategy aims to establish BNB Chain's leading position in the field of AI and Web3 integration and fill the current technological gap.

6.Meme currency ecological support

• BNB Chain will launch code-free issuance tools and liquidity solutions to support the Meme coin project.
• Impact: Embrace retail trends while reducing risks.

Despite the controversy, Meme coins have a role in driving user growth, and the success of projects such as $TRUMP and $MELANIA fully demonstrates this trend.

Overall, while BNB Chain's 2025 roadmap emphasizes the depth of technology (such as sub-second blocks and MEV protection), it also highlights user experience optimization (such as Gas-free transactions and smart wallet upgrades), and tries to use AI Strategy redefines the direction of dApp innovation.
