According to Deep Tide TechFlow news, on December 13, BNB Chain announced the launch of the ninth season of the MVB (Most Valuable Builder) acceleration program, with the application deadline set for January 14, 2025. This season focuses on projects that leverage AI for innovation, covering three core areas: decentralized applications (including intent-driven DeFi, AI gaming, DeSoc, AI Agents, data labeling, and DataDAO), infrastructure and tools (involving authentication, MPC wallets, social graphs, AgentKit, and developer tools), as well as technological innovations in data privacy computing and streaming indexing. The program will host a two-day offline networking event in Hong Kong for the first time.
This season's MVB program is jointly supported by Binance Labs and CMC Labs, lasting for 4 weeks and providing up to $300,000 in startup resource packages, including technical support, infrastructure credits, and marketing tools. Projects will receive one-on-one mentorship, with course content covering growth, security, token economics, market strategies, and financing. Notably, winning projects from the BNB Incubation Alliance (BIA) events in Dubai, Bangkok, and Denver will directly enter MVB Season 9.
Historical data shows that approximately 60% of the 131 incubated projects from the first seven seasons received investment, with over 60 projects successfully issuing tokens. Notable alumni include Galxe, Mobox, SpaceID, SleeplessAI, and AltLayer, with 5 projects launched on Binance Launchpool. The eighth season admitted less than 7% of hundreds of applicants, with 35 selected teams primarily in the fields of DeFi, infrastructure, and AI.
