BNB Chain to implement BSC millisecond timestamps on December 8
Original headlineBNB체인, 12월 8일 BSC 밀리초 시각 적용 예정
Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
BNB Chain will activate the Jenner mainnet hardfork on BSC at 11:30 KST on December 8, introducing millisecond-level block timestamp queries via BEP-706, which adds a precompile at address 0x70 returning the current block's Unix millisecond time as a 32-byte value. Node operators must upgrade to BSC v1.8.2 before activation, while existing block.timestamp and the EVM TIMESTAMP opcode remain second-based, meaning contracts must explicitly call the new address to access millisecond precision. The change matters because finer timestamp granularity could enable more precise on-chain logic for DeFi, derivatives, and time-sensitive applications on BSC, though adoption depends on developer implementation.
