Jenner targets October 28, 2026 testnet
The Jenner upgrade is scheduled for the BNB Smart Chain testnet on October 28, 2026. BNB Chain says node operators must run a compatible client before activation. The upgrade includes Payment Lane, which reserves part of block capacity for eligible payment transactions, and millisecond-level timestamps for smart contracts, according to BNB Chain.
The release also introduces initial functionality for the Compliant Asset Standard, or CAS20. The standard is designed for assets such as stablecoins and tokenized real-world assets and includes transfer policies, allowlists, blocklists, and separate mint, burn, and seizure roles, according to BNB Chain.
