#BNBChain Hits Record 5 Trillion Gas Usage in a Single Day


#BNBSmartChain achieved a landmark milestone on Oct. 8, consuming 5 trillion gas units within 24 hours. The network processed 24 million swap transactions, which represented 77% of total activity that day.


The achievement represents one of the most significant days in #blockchain history, highlighting BSC's growing position as a leading platform for decentralized finance and on-chain trading. Network transactions reached 31.31 million in 24 hours, marking a 19% increase from the previous day and a 719% surge compared to the same period last year.


Recent technical upgrades drove BSC's performance gains. The Maxwell and Lorentz hardforks doubled throughput to 100 million gas per second while reducing block times to 750 milliseconds, enabling the network to process massive trading volumes with near-instant finality.


#DeFi ecosystems on #BSC continue to thrive. PancakeSwap recorded nearly $80 billion in trading volume throughout September, reaching levels not seen since late 2021. Stablecoin supply on the network reached record highs, supporting increased demand for liquidity and trading activity.
