TechFlow News, BNB Chain has announced the successful adaptation and integration of the latest Ethereum client Erigon 3 with the Parlia consensus protocol.
Parlia is the consensus mechanism used by BNB Chain (BSC), combining features of DPoS and PoA, where validators are elected by BNB holders to achieve faster block times and lower transaction costs. The integration of Erigon 3 with Parlia marks a significant milestone, bringing performance improvements for BSC users, especially those running archive nodes. On the BSC testnet (Chapel), Erigon 3 has demonstrated substantial performance gains: disk usage reduced by 50%, and synchronization time shortened from one week to approximately 10 hours.
BNB Chain plans to launch the mainnet version around September 30, 2024, while continuing to support Erigon 2 for a period to ensure a smooth transition. Currently, the Erigon 3 Alpha 2 version is live on the testnet, allowing users to test and provide feedback.
