BNB Chain activates Jenner hard fork on BSC testnet, launches Payment Lane and CAS20

BNB Chain, a leading blockchain ecosystem known for its high-throughput decentralized applications, has activated the Jenner hard fork on the BNB Smart Chain (BSC) testnet. The rollout introduces three core features aimed at enhancing payments, real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, and decentralized finance (DeFi) functionalities within the network. The standout addition in the Jenner upgrade is Payment Lane, designed to secure uninterrupted space for payment transactions even during periods of heightened network activity. This mechanism, implemented through BEP-703, reserves 5% of each block’s gas limit exclusively for approved payment transactions by default.
