BNB Chain thinks about lowering fees

BNB Chain Community Considers Proposal to Reduce Transaction Fees in Consensus Protocol BSC.

The author, ArnoB, noted that L2 solutions have become more common lately, offering users lower fees compared to the first-level BNB Chain blockchain.

ArnoB recalled that the network’s commission is now set “at a relatively high flat rate” of 5 gwei.

“I propose that BSC validators adopt a more flexible approach to transaction fees, allowing users to select them below the current rate of 5 gwei, with the option to drop to 3 or 4 gwei depending on their financial needs,” he wrote.

In his opinion, this will allow the blockchain and L2 protocols based on it to remain competitive. ArnoB noted that the approach he proposes will help:

  • increase the stability of the network due to the influx of new projects;
  • attract new users to the ecosystem, which contributes to the growth of the volume of fees collected;
  • optimize the use of block space, which will allow validators to receive more rewards.

According to ArnoB, blockchain performance has stabilized over the past six months, with usage hovering in the 15-20% range. As the figure rises, even with lower rates, total network fees will increase, he suggested based on several models.

“I strongly believe that adjusting fees to make them more cost-effective can help BSC maintain its position in the market and attract those who are looking for more affordable and efficient blockchain solutions,” the user emphasized.

In March, the developers of decentralized exchange Uniswap deployed the third version of the protocol on BNB Chain.
