BEP 336 introduces “Blob-Carrying Transactions” (BlobTx), allowing for the temporary and cost-effective storage of large data chunks up to 128 KB. This innovation streamlines the transaction verification process, particularly benefiting opBNB, the layer 2 network of the BNB ecosystem. By verifying data accuracy within blobs rather than individual transactions, BSC enhances efficiency.

The upgrade encompasses a blob market and a precompile contract. The former regulates blob storage and transmission costs based on network demand, while the latter adds a layer of security by verifying data in blobs against their references in transactions.

BEP 336 stands out from Ethereum’s EIP 4844 with features like a dynamic gas pricing mechanism for blobs and a unique token burn mechanism tailored to BSC’s specific needs and structure.

The rollout of BEP 336 will be phased. It will first debut on the testnet in April, followed by a Magnet phase in May for further testing and optimization. Finally, the upgrade is scheduled to launch on the BSC mainnet in June through a hard fork.
