The BNB Smart Chain Chapel testnet is expected to undergo a hard fork upgrade on September 13, adding a native staking module

Chain Catcher News, BNB Chain announced that the BNB Smart Chain Chapel testnet is expected to undergo a scheduled hard fork upgrade named Gibbs at block height 22,800,220, with the upgrade anticipated to take place around September 13 at 15:00. Validators and full node operators on the testnet should switch their software version to v1.1.13 before September 13.

It is reported that the biggest change in this upgrade is the BEP-153 native staking module on BSC. Prior to this BEP, BNB holders could only stake their assets on the BNB Beacon Chain, while this module allows BNB holders to stake directly on BSC.
