BNB (BNB) now has the Jenner hard fork active on the BNB Smart Chain testnet, with 5 percent of block gas reserved for eligible payments on October 29, 2026, according to TokenPost.

Payment capacity changes on the testnet

The Jenner rollout adds Payment Lane, which reserves 5 percent of each block's gas capacity for qualifying payment transactions by default. The upgrade also gives smart contracts access to block timestamps measured in milliseconds and introduces the Compliant Asset Standard, or CAS20, for assets such as stablecoins and tokenized real-world assets, BNB Chain said on October 22, 2026.

The reserved payment share can be adjusted by governance up to 10 percent, and the CAS20 framework includes transfer policies, allowlists, blocklists, pausing, and separate mint, burn, and seizure roles. The guide describes the Jenner activation as a testnet rollout and says node operators, block builders, and application developers must review the relevant client changes.
