Binance Founder CZ on opBNB Fourier Mainnet Hardfork

Changpeng CZ Zhao, now a former CEO of Binance, just shared the completion of opBNB Fourier Mainnet Hardfork. He added that the update effectively reduces block time to 250ms from 500ms.

A post by BNB Chain Developers shared more details about the development. It underlined that the mainnet hardfork went live on January 07, 2026, at 03:00 UTC, adding that the reduction in the block time is a key change as it reduces the block interval. Furthermore, BNB Chain Developers sought confirmation from node operators on the status of its operations.

Building on BEP-619

The implementation of opBNB Fourier Mainnet Hardfork builds on the announcement about BEP-619. It was made hours before the mainnet hardfork went live. BEP-619 essentially works to reduce the block intervals to 0.45s. Thereby accelerating confirmations and improving the responsiveness of dApps across the network.

The community has responded positively to both developments, with some saying that it would feel snappy, while others called it real progress. A few community members also pointed out that efficiency is one of the key metrics that matters.

Effect On BNB Price

The mainnet hardfork update saw a slight positive impact on BNB price. It only surged by 0.72% over the last 24 hours to trade at $912.13. Nevertheless, the value is still significantly up by 5.75% in a week and 24.79% on a YoY basis.

This has paved the way for a possible bull run in the times to come. BNB price could soar by 1.53% in the next 1 month and then by 35.40% in the next 3 months from the current value. This translates to an exchange value of $926.02 and $1,234.93, applicable in the same order.

Till then, BNB is testing key support margins of $896.76 and $872.80. This is on the sidelines of testing critical resistance levels of $920.73 and $944.69, amid a medium volatility of 2.38%.
