BNB Chain has issued an urgent software fix for its BSC-Reth node client after discovering a bug related to incorrect blockchain state calculations. The issue involves a state-root calculation error that could disrupt blockchain verification if left unresolved.
Validators are required to upgrade their node software promptly to maintain consensus and network integrity. According to the announcement, ordinary users remain unaffected and do not need to take any action. The fix was released on November 8, 2026, as part of urgent maintenance to protect the reliability of the BNB Chain network.
