The countdown has officially started for the upcoming Osaka/Mendel hard fork on BNB Smart Chain (BSC), scheduled for April 28 at 02:30 UTC.
BNB Chain developers have issued an urgent reminder for all node operators to prepare their systems ahead of time. To stay in sync with the network, nodes must be upgraded to BSC v1.7.2 before the fork activates.
This isn’t just a routine update — it’s a critical network upgrade designed to improve stability, efficiency, and transaction reliability across the ecosystem. Operators who fail to upgrade risk their nodes falling out of sync, which could lead to missed blocks and service disruptions.
🔧 What needs to be done:
Upgrade to BSC v1.7.2
Replace binaries where required
Clean up outdated configuration fields
The Osaka/Mendel upgrade introduces several technical improvements, including protocol-level transaction limits and enhanced block handling. These changes aim to make the network more scalable and predictable under heavy usage.
Originally tested on the BSC testnet, the upgrade has already shown improvements in block construction, transaction processing, and overall network performance.
As the deadline approaches, the message from developers is clear: upgrade early, avoid downtime, and keep your node fully synced.
The BNB Chain ecosystem continues to evolve rapidly, and this hard fork marks another step toward stronger infrastructure and better scalability for decentralized applications.
