BNB Network Hard Fork
Yesterday it became known that this month an update called ZhangHeng will be carried out in the BNB crypto network. According to the developers, this will improve the security functionality for customers.
However, the team is worried about network security, which remains a problem for most cryptocurrency markets.
The developers plan to hold a hard fork on July 19. It will be at 6-00 UTC. Note that it represents a constant adjustment of the crypto network due to software updates. At the same time, issue new BNB coins. Also, 2/3 of the validators in the chain will have to update their nodes to be able to process blocks after the update takes place.
The developers reported that the BEP-255 offer includes balance adjustments that users will be able to track in each block. At the same time, coordination will be required in order to detect problems in time. If an error occurs, the blockchain starts to "panic". As a result, the block creation process is interrupted.
The developers on GitHub wrote that in case of a reconciliation error, the blockchain stops the creation of new blocks. This will have a significant impact on subsequent platforms: bridges, investment, withdrawal of assets on exchanges. Therefore, decisive actions are required to protect the crypto network and its users. The main developers and the crypto community need to study this problem as quickly as possible.
Such an approach will help to retain the assets of users during exploits, such as bridge attacks.
API functions will be added to Earn Binance
A new API endpoint feature has been added to Earn Binance. These include Simple Earn and Ethereum staking. Thanks to these functions, users will be able to get the functionality of two sites at the same time.
These functions include:
- Purchase of flexible products in Simple Earn.

- APR requests to study transaction history, offer data, etc.
However, more information about these functions has not yet been published. So users can check them themselves, since the API has already been launched on Earn Binance.
Wallet Maintenance
