BNB Chain releases year-long technical roadmap to develop ecosystem

Published at: May 31, 2022

BNB Chain has announced the launch of a technical roadmap designed with the intention to enhance the network's decentralized structure, infrastructural capacity for sidechains and potential for developer-built decentralized applications (DApps) to improve performance and efficiency. 

Announced at the BNB Chain Revelation Summit, the document also revealed the latest iteration of the Most Valuable Builder incubation programme for aspiring Web3 software engineers. 

In February this year, Binance Chain and Binance Smart Chain were merged to form what is now referred to as BNB Chain, a multi-chain infrastructure layer supporting the new ecosystem, as well as BNB governance mechanisms.
