BNB (BNB) has a scheduled Jenner hard fork on October 28, 2026, when the BNB Smart Chain testnet is set to activate the upgrade. The BNB price stands at 749.80 USD as of October 27, 2026, up 2.11 percent compared with the UTC daily close of October 26, 2026, according to Investing.com.

Jenner sets a 5 percent payment lane

According to BNB Chain, Jenner will reserve 5 percent of each block's gas capacity for qualifying payment transactions by default. Governance can adjust that share up to 10 percent. The scheduled testnet activation is October 28, 2026, while the mainnet timing will be announced separately.

The upgrade also introduces millisecond timestamps for smart contracts and the underlying capability for the Compliant Asset Standard, known as CAS20. BNB Chain says CAS20 includes transfer policies, allowlists, blocklists, pausing and separate roles for minting, burning and seizing assets. Those controls require separate activation by a governance-appointed administrator.
