News linked to both this project and an event.
Odaily News, Bonk Guy stated on the X platform that he had previously been pessimistic about Solana, even writing an analysis favoring Robinhood and BNB Chain, arguing that Solana would lose significant market share and attention in this cycle. However, his view has recently begun to shift toward a bullish stance on Solana and its ecosystem.Bonk Guy believes that Solana has recently re-embraced the "trench" culture and has started to more actively promote community projects. At the same time, Solana's management proactively reached out to him to understand how to better align with the community and the "trench" ecosystem. Additionally, Solana officials and core members have recently begun to proactively recognize ecosystem projects such as $STONK and $USELESS.These changes are not simply positive for a specific token, but rather reflect a top-down cultural shift within Solana, as well as management's proactive efforts to address issues in the ecosystem. He emphasized that his past criticism of Solana was never about the technology or infrastructure, but rather about the ecosystem culture and the impact of "extractors" on Solana's new projects and users.Bonk Guy also revealed that his originally planned long-form analysis, which was bearish on Solana and bullish on Robinhood and BNB Chain, will first be shared with the Solana team for reference. Due to the recent changes that have made him more optimistic, he may adjust his views and ultimately publish a more balanced analysis.Bonk Guy concluded: "My Solana bias is changing."

According to Odaily, blockchain network BNB Chain has activated the Pasteur hard fork on the BNB Smart Chain (BSC) mainnet. The upgrade addresses cross-chain bridge verification, validator authorization, staking, and governance security, while increasing block capacity without altering the 450-millisecond block time.This upgrade includes BEP-682, BEP-695, and BEP-675, which pertain to duplicate validator entries, validator key rotation and penalty governance, and the block submission process, respectively. In the internal test environment QANet, the new process increased throughput from 1,237 transactions per second to 2,324 transactions per second, though these figures are from controlled tests and do not represent mainnet measurements.

Odaily News: BNB Smart Chain (BSC) has announced that the Pasteur hard fork will officially go live on the mainnet at 10:30 AM Beijing time on August 25 (02:30 UTC on August 25). Node operators are required to upgrade their clients to v1.7.7 in advance.This upgrade includes three improvements—BEP-682, BEP-695, and BEP-675—focusing on enhancing cross-chain security, validator governance mechanisms, and network throughput. Among them, BEP-682 will strengthen the BNB Chain cross-chain bridge verification mechanism, preventing permission bypass risks caused by duplicate signature counting by validators, thereby improving the security of cross-chain asset transfers. BEP-695 optimizes the validator key rotation mechanism, ensuring that old keys no longer retain management privileges after exit, while also fixing potential vulnerabilities related to slashing and governance voting.In terms of performance, BEP-675 reduces the time consumption caused by validators repeatedly executing transactions by optimizing the block construction process. In BNB Chain's internal QANet test environment, this solution increased throughput from 1,237 TPS to 2,324 TPS. While maintaining the 450-millisecond block time and the 100 million Gas block limit unchanged, the average Gas usage per block rose from 46.35 million to 84.15 million.BNB Chain stated that this upgrade is primarily aimed at validators and block builders, designed to provide greater capacity during network peak periods and advance the throughput expansion goals outlined in BNB Chain's roadmap for the second half of 2026.
