BNB Chain recently named the top 16 early-stage projects for the ninth iteration of the Most Valuable Builder (MVB) Accelerator Program. Developed with YZi Labs and CMC Labs, the program is geared towards Web3 startups looking to disrupt the digital frontier.
The MVB program sharpens its purpose, to onboard the next billion Web3 users by investing in excellent early teams. The shortlisted startups get hands-on mentorship for four weeks. Discussions happen on topics such as tokenomics, fundraising, hiring, and growth.
These projects were shortlisted among over 500 applicants. All 16 projects represent a blend of the use of blockchain, integration with AI, and decentralized applications. All were winners through perseverance and foresight.
Additionally, the selected startups are BitGPT, Datai Network, Echopy, Eurexa AI, Super Protocol, BitFi, LIKWID, XPIN, Stadium Science, Citadel Labs, Oneverse, and TCOM Global.
These builders are working on anything from decentralized finance to AI-powered trading platforms, Web3 gaming, and secure protocols.
