The roadmap contains several exciting developments that combine Web2 performance and Web3 features to improve user experience.
BNB Chain, the community-driven blockchain ecosystem that includes the world’s largest smart contract blockchain, has published its technology roadmap for BNB Greenfield. The roadmap targets Web2 and Web3 developers and users by elevating performance, improving development experiences, and expanding their multi-chain capabilities.
BNB Greenfield’s recent updates contain extensive details on its roadmap, core principles, and features supporting AI adoption. BNB Chain has released an official technology roadmap for BNB Greenfield, a decentralized storage network for decentralized data applications (dApps) operating in the BNB ecosystem.
BNB Greenfield Roadmap Basic Principles and Features
BNB Chain created the Greenfield roadmap based on three design principles. The first is for the blockchain to be so high performing that it competes favorably with most Web2 offerings. This way, transactions and other on-chain activities are processed faster. While ensuring that the blockchain is high-performing, the second design principle – a simplified development experience – ensures that the Greenfield platform is easy to use and accessible.
Therefore, navigating BNB Greenfield will be easy for developers, regardless of experience level. The third principle is that while BNB Greenfield is a BNB Chain platform, it works as a multi-chain network. Developers could create multiple blockchains and design projects with seamless interaction between dApps on different blockchains. In addition to this interaction, users will also enjoy other cross-chain services.
The roadmap describes broad characteristics linked to each of these principles. For example, the high-throughput principle seeks to significantly improve transaction speed. With current download and upload speeds of 20 MB/s and 2 MB/s, respectively, the goal is to quintuple these figures.
Additionally, there is a package service for data management, which allows users to organize multiple data files into single blockchain objects for better processing.
The second principle offers enhanced storage features, such as sorting and organizing data using tags. These tags help users move and update large amounts of data without confusion.
For the third principle, the interesting feature is cross-string programmability. This gives smart contracts more flexibility as they currently do not allow others to use their resources. BNB Greenfield solves this problem by introducing a cross-chain permission module.
Artificial Intelligence (AI), Network Stability and Governance
All BNB Greenfield features lay the foundation for AI adoption. The decentralization, innovation and transparency enjoyed at BNB Greenfield are features that facilitate the adoption of AI and create an enabling environment for the integration of AI and Web3. The overall goal is to ensure that access and use of BNB Greenfield is easy and affordable for all stakeholders, including developers, storage providers, and regular users.
Storage providers will enjoy a “lightweight architecture,” with low computational requirements, a small device footprint on the network, and reduced power consumption. Despite all that, BNB Greenfield has a simple exit process for all storage providers who wish to withdraw their deposits and exit the platform.
The specific roadmap for BNB Greenfield will see the platform launch in the fourth quarter of this year, simplifying the exit process for storage providers and enabling features that allow smart contracts to function as “resource owners,” for a Strong permission control.
The next course of action is to improve storage provider performance while increasing upload and download speeds by 5x in Q2 and Q3 of 2024. Web3 AI adoption will follow and may extend beyond 2024.
