BNB Chain makes 1,000,000 TPS moonshot bet on AI as BNB price slips to 2024 lows
The post BNB Chain makes 1,000,000 TPS moonshot bet on AI as BNB price slips to 2024 lows appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Binance-backed BNB Chain is restructuring its underlying architecture and setting a long-term goal of processing 1 million transactions per second while integrating protocol-level privacy. The strategic pivot aims to capture two distinct yet demanding emerging markets: traditional financial institutions and the nascent sector of autonomous artificial intelligence agents. This aggressive technical roadmap arrives at a critical juncture for the network, which has faced notable headwinds in the past year. Data from CryptoSlate shows that the network’s native token, BNB, has tumbled more than 35% this year to $563, its lowest valuation since October 2024. Furthermore, its network activity has also trailed some rivals, with BNB Chain transactions declining 12.5% in the first quarter of the year while Solana and Ethereum posted gains of 46.4% and 38%, respectively.
