We’re thrilled to introduce the TVL Incentive Program #3, a groundbreaking initiative to propel BNB and Total Value Locked (TVL) growth for projects on opBNB and BSC. This program is designed to enhance BNB/liquid staking BNB(lstBNB) lock-up and incentivize the ecosystem to grow TVL through a competitive challenge with substantial rewards.
Submit your applications today!
Please be sure to complete the submission form in full and include the following information:
- project’s name,
- which chain are you deployed on,
- all relevant contract addresses.
Challenge Overview
Here’s everything you need to know about the two parts of the program:
- Part A: Focuses on encouraging the lock-up of BNB tokens and welcoming participation from all DeFi platforms that support BNB staking.
- Part B: Invites DeFi projects to compete for Total Value Locked (TVL), fostering innovation and growth within the ecosystem.
Part A: BNB Lock-up Challenge – Battle for a $100,000 Prize Pool!
This challenge is open to all DeFi platforms that support BNB. There is no limit on deployment time, just submit your application through this form.
Participants will be ranked based on their incremental BNB locked and Liquid Staking BNB locked during the event.

Part B: TVL Incentive Program – Compete for up to $200,000 in Prizes!
This competition is open to all DeFi projects on opBNB and BSC. The prize pool will be unlocked based on the total incremental TVL of all participants.

Dynamic Prize Pool Formula: $200K * (Total TVL Increment / 50M)
For example:
- $200K if TVL increased by $60M that month
- $200K if TVL increased by $50M that month
- $80K if TVL increased by $20M that month
Reward Structure:
| Ranking of increment TVL | 70% |
| Ranking of the increment BNB Locked (Including BNB as Collateral, LP, and Liquid Staking BNB) | 30% |
Baseline TVL Calculations:
- BSC: The average daily TVL for the 30 consecutive days before the event announcement.
- opBNB: Same baseline period.
Ranking and Rewards:
| Ranking | Rewards |
| Top 1 | 40% of the dynamic rewards pool unlocked |
| Top 2 | 30% of the dynamic rewards pool unlocked |
| Top 3 | 20% of the dynamic rewards pool unlocked |

| Top 5 | 3% of the dynamic rewards pool unlocked |
Projects on opBNB and BSC will be ranked separately. A project can only win once, with the highest value taken if it ranks in both.
Eligibility Calculation:
- Incremental TVL per project: Project’s average daily TVL for the last 7 days of the event – Baseline TVL.
- Incremental BNB Locked per project: Project’s average daily BNB Locked for the last 7 days of the event – Baseline BNB Locked.
Who Can Participate?
- Projects deployed to opBNB mainnet
- Projects deployed on BSC after January 1, 2023
- Projects with at least one security audit
- Projects that complete the application form during the registration period
