2024

The community-driven blockchain ecosystem,&nbsp;BNB Chain, has shared that its plans for 2024&nbsp;involve optimizing performance, introducing “opBNB Connect” for scalability and targeting specific decentralized applications (DApps) for mass adoption, such as decentralized finance (DeFi), gaming, artificial intelligence (AI) and increasing active validators.
The community plans to evolve its <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/binance-bnb-chain-introduce-optimism-layer-2-testnet-opbnb">Optimism OP Stack-based layer-2 scaling solution</a>, opBNB, to opBNB Connect to support DApps with the potential for high daily active users in building their L2 blockchains. OpBNB gas fees will decrease by up to 10x to 
BNB Chain is also set to unveil the “One BNB” interconnectivity concept, which seamlessly links the layer-1 BNB Smart Chain (BSC), opBNB and Greenfield. This concept addresses the demand for a unified tech stack, aiding the shift of applications to fully on-chain Web3 frameworks.

Speaking with Cointelegraph, a BNB Chain core development team representative explained that in 2024, Greenfield will be upgraded by <a href="https://www.bnbchain.org/en/blog/greenfield-executable-a-new-initiative-to-unlock-the-potential-of-open-data-economy" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">introducing</a> Greenfield Executable to enhance data processing efficiency and reduce costs. The ecosystem will also enhance middleware infrastructure, including the bundle service and data availability layer, to meet data processing demands effectively.
BNB Chain will launch BNB Greenfield 2.0, improving storage performance, introducing new features for developers, and establishing specialized data infrastructure for AI, on-chain gaming and decentralized social platforms (DeSoc).
To achieve mass blockchain adoption, BNB Chain will target specific applications, including high-frequency DeFi, fully on-chain games, AI, DeSoc and high-performance infrastructure, including account abstraction.&nbsp;
The BNB Chain core development team representative explained that these applications have been identified as catalysts for the mass adoption of blockchain technology.&nbsp;The outlook also highlights plans to increase active validators from 40 to 100 and merge the Beacon Chain to enhance blockchain efficiency and speed up decentralization.
