BSC's BEP-640 is now available for adoption 📌

Currently, oversized transactions can create network bottlenecks and lead to chain reorganizations on the Binance Smart Chain. The BEP-640 enhancement tackles this challenge by proposing a voluntary gas limit framework—capping individual transactions at 16,777,216 gas (equivalent to 2²⁴).

It's important to clarify that this operates as a recommendation rather than a hard protocol rule. The proposal encourages transaction builders and validators to adopt this standard, helping maintain network stability and reducing the likelihood of reorg events. While not mandatory at the protocol level, widespread adoption could significantly smooth out BSC's transaction processing and block generation cycles.

It's another soft proposal, why does this routine feel so familiar? --- Voluntary framework? That still relies on the self-discipline of large investors, thinking too much. --- Remember the number 16777216, or else you'll fall into the trap again. --- It would be great if BSC could stabilize, but what can this improvement save? --- It still feels the same, even if the standard is released, it doesn't mean anyone will follow. --- Computing power limitations sound simple, but they're hard to implement. --- Chain reorganization is really distressing, finally someone is thinking of addressing it. --- As long as it's not mandatory, there will still be chaos later. --- Let's see if it will really be adopted; I bet five bucks that the big mining pool will get special treatment. --- This feels like "I suggest you do this"; in the end, nothing is mandatory.

It's another voluntary adoption; I've seen this trick quite a few times... I sincerely hope everyone can rely on their own awareness. --- Honestly, the BEP-640 framework looks good, but the question is how many nodes will actually implement it. --- So it still depends on the conscience of ecosystem participants; it's a bit uncertain. --- Why is the number 2 to the 24th power so coincidentally perfect? There must be some trick behind it. --- Voluntary standards often end up as mere decorations; only the adoption rate will show if they are useful. --- Finally, someone is trying to solve the network bottleneck, which is much better than waiting for a hard fork.

Still willing to adopt this set voluntarily. Frankly, it all depends on whether the big players are willing to cooperate. --- Set the gas limit to 2²⁴. This number is carefully chosen, but don't expect everyone to follow obediently. --- It sounds like BSC is just putting a band-aid on itself; the real problem can't be solved at all. --- Voluntary framework? Wake up. On the chain, it's just a decoration. Those with real power still do as they please. --- So, it still depends on the community's self-discipline. It's no wonder this thing can't succeed. --- The number 16777216 is definitely supported by a lot of testing data, but who really knows how effective it will be in practice? --- It feels like a band-aid solution; it can't address the fundamental issues at all. --- Reorganizations will still happen. This proposal is at most a cushion.

It's again voluntary adoption of this set... Whether it's reliable or not depends on what the miners think. --- The number 2^24 is very particular, but the question is, what about execution? --- To put it simply, it still depends on the community's self-discipline; otherwise, it's just talk on paper. --- Someone finally came up with a solution to BSC's frequent restructuring problem, but I don't know how long it can last. --- Voluntary framework? Sounds like there's no way to enforce it... --- If this thing really gets promoted, it should help ease the mega transaction congestion situation.

Is it still a voluntary standard, not a hard rule? So whether to adopt it or not depends entirely on the node operators' conscience? --- The number 2^24 looks pretty intimidating, but it's hard to say how many real problems it can actually solve. --- The BSC restructuring has been annoying for a long time. Finally, someone is taking care of it, but soft suggestions might just be that—suggestions. --- Hmm... it still depends on whether the nodes cooperate. No matter how good the standards are, if no one follows them, it's useless. --- Voluntary adoption? That still depends on the miners' mood. This system needs to be widely adopted to be truly effective.

It's another voluntary framework; it still depends on everyone's awareness... As long as BSC can stay stable, that's fine—don't let it be reorganized again. Is this reliable? How many times before have improvements been promised but not delivered? Voluntary efforts are always unreliable; can validators truly cooperate? 2²⁴ sounds impressive but it's still the same story.
