BSC's shorter block intervals demand better finality mechanisms. That's where BEP-590 comes in—it's a game-changer for fast finality on Binance Smart Chain.

Here's the thing: BEP-590 lets proposers gather votes way beyond just the parent block. Even when the network gets congested, finality stays solid. Compare that to the current BEP-126 setup, which only counts votes for the immediate parent block—way more restrictive when things get busy.

This upgrade essentially smooths out congestion periods and keeps the chain moving smoothly. For validators and network participants, it means more reliable finality guarantees without sacrificing speed.
