Changelog

BSC release v1.1.13 is a hardfork release for testnet. The hardfork upgrade named Gibbs is expected to happen at block height 22,800,220. The current block generation speed forecasts this to occur around 13 Sep. 2022 at 7:00 AM (UTC). The validators and full node operators on Testnet should switch their software version to v1.1.13 by 13 Sep.

Before Gibbs upgrade, the BNB holders could only stake their assets on the BNB Beacon Chain. It means that if their assets are on the BNB Smart Chain, they must transfer them across-chain to the BNB Beacon Chain first, which is not user-friendly enough.

Gibbs upgrade introduces a new staking system contract on the BSC side, all staking-related operations on the BSC side should be initiated through this contract, and then applied across-chain to BNB Beacon Chain through the native cross-chain communication mechanism. With this BEP, the BNB holders can stake in the BSC directly, and dApps can launch their staking service based on the protocol introduced by this BEP, which can diversify the BSC ecosystem.
