BSC Implements PBSS to Optimize Node Performance
BSC Implements PBSS to Optimize Node Performance
BSC has adopted PBSS, a path-based storage model, to address the challenges of offline pruning and optimize node performance. PBSS introduces online state pruning, reducing state bloat and improving user experience. It also enhances performance, reducing block import time by approximately 24%. BSC's asynchronous node buffer strategy and adjustments to the trie node cache help ensure efficient block generation and address performance variations. However, challenges like continuous state data expansion remain, and potential solutions like state expiry and increased gas limits are being considered.
Running a full node isn't just a simple task—it demands constant attention! As a result, offline pruning is a persistent challenge for node operators. Ahead, we'll discuss BSC's adoption of PBSS to lighten the load and optimize node performance. 🧵 [1/8] bnbchain.org/en/blog/optimi…

BNB Chain Claims Leadership in Real-World Asset Tokenization Race
**BNB Chain positions itself as the leader** in real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, claiming to have the most complete RWA ecosystem among blockchain networks. The announcement comes as **billions of dollars in real-world assets** have already been moved onchain across various platforms. BNB Chain is highlighting its comprehensive infrastructure and ecosystem for tokenized assets. **Key developments:** - BNB Chain releases landscape overview of RWAs on their network - Platform emphasizes its complete ecosystem approach - Builds on previous Singapore conference discussions about RWA-DeFi integration The move reflects the **growing competition** among blockchain networks to capture the expanding tokenized asset market, which has seen significant growth with over $18 billion in RWA value tokenized onchain (excluding stablecoins) as of earlier reports. BNB Chain's claim comes as the RWA sector continues attracting institutional and retail interest for bringing traditional assets like real estate, commodities, and securities onto blockchain networks.
