BSC clients and versions

Measured BNB Smart Chain client adoption, software versions, sync state and advertised fork IDs, with explanations of coverage and identification limits. Last 24 hours, refreshed every 15 minutes.

Reading client adoption

Client names, versions and fork IDs are self-reported during protocol handshakes. They describe the nodes we reached during the window, not all BSC nodes or the software behind every validator. An advertised fork ID is not proof of readiness for a future upgrade.
