BNB Chain Grapples with opBNB Mainnet Issue

The BNB Chain Core Team is actively working on a resolution to address this opBNB Mainnet issue.

OpBNB, an Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible scalable network built on Optimism’s OP Stack platform and utilizing the Optimistic Rollups solution, has encountered its second mainnet issue since launching the testnet on June 19, 2023. Despite its achievements, the network has struggled with congestion, impacting user transactions.

The previous opBNB mainnet issue drew attention as BNB Chain experienced noticeable lag in both its Bscan and opBNB mainnet browsers. The first instance was communicated via social media by the BNB Chain team, emphasizing the challenges faced by the blockchain infrastructure.

The root cause of the lag was identified as a substantial surge in opBNB transactions, resulting in delays in their integration into the blockchain. This surge in transaction volume created a bottleneck, affecting the overall performance of the opBNB browser.

Meanwhile, on a separate front, the BNB Greenfield testnet is gearing up for a Manchurian hard fork at block height 3,922,485. Validators are required to proactively upgrade to greenfield v1.2.1, while storage providers (SP) must upgrade to greenfield-storage-provider v1.2.2.

This upgrade, set to enhance message delivery and address vulnerabilities in GVG creation and bucket status events, assures users that their account balances and stored data on the Greenfield testnet will remain unaffected.
