BNB Chain is optimizing its network to prioritize memecoin transactions amid a 400% surge in gas fees. Validators will now gather more bids per block, allowing higher-value transactions to replace lower-priority ones, improving efficiency during peak activity. This change comes as memecoin speculation, including tokens inspired by Binance founder CZ’s dog, drives record gas fees—totaling $15 million in a week, surpassing Ethereum. The update aims to enhance transaction speed and reliability as BNB Chain competes with other high-traffic blockchains. Are you trading memecoins on BNB Chain? Source: The Block
