Building on the momentum of its previous Meme Innovation Campaigns, BNB Chain is excited to unveil the BNB Chain Meme Coin Innovation Battle! With a prize pool of up to $150,000, this is a fantastic opportunity for your project to stand out.
We’re committed to nurturing the meme coin ecosystem on BNB Chain and have crafted a model designed to help more meme coins reach a broader audience. For projects and developers building in this vertical, reach out to us here, we’d love to hear from you.
The Meme Coin Innovation Battle is split into two parts, the first part focuses on migrating or launching your meme coin while the second part encourages projects to complete for liquidity.
The top 3 eligible projects will receive tailored marketing support, including potential social media promotion and access to a $900K liquidity pool. The exact nature of the support will be determined on a case-by-case basis, so recipients are not guaranteed to receive both social media promotion and the liquidity pool.
Activity Period
Starting 14 August 2024 at 00:00 and lasting until 13 September 2024 at 23:59 UTC+0, over 31 days.

Important Notes
- Liquidity: Liquidity in cryptocurrency means the ease with which a digital currency or token can be converted to another digital asset or cash without impacting the price and vice-versa.
- Supported DEX: Pancakeswap, Uniswap and Thena
- Daily Average Trading Volume: This is the total trading volume of the meme coin during the event divided by the number of days involved.
- For meme coins launched during the event: The Daily average trading volume will be calculated based on the actual number of days the MEME has been active.
- For meme coins launched before the event: If the application is submitted after the event starts, the Daily average trading volume will be calculated based on a 31-day period starting from the application submission date.
- Market Cap: The total market value of a meme coin’s circulating supply. It is analogous to the free-float capitalization in the stock market (Market cap = Average price for the last 3 days of the event x Circulating supply).
- Active Accounts: The number of wallet addresses that hold this meme and have at least 1 trading during the event.
- Promotion 1 and Promotion 2 are independent and can be participated in at the same time as long as the conditions are met.
- If your meme token has yet to be deployed on BNB Smart Chain (BSC), it’s not an issue. To participate in the competition, simply deploy it before the campaign ends. Here is the guidance for deploying a token on BSC.
- If you are introducing a new meme coin, simply publish it before the end of the campaign to qualify for participation in the contest.
The leaderboard will go online around August 20, with daily updates at 00:00 UTC. Thanks to uDex for data support. Rewards will be distributed within three weeks after the event ends. Developers are encouraged to follow AvengerDao Web3 Security Framework and consider third-party audits via BNB KickStart. While an audit is not a requirement, we strongly encourage projects to carry out an audit for the sustainability of their project.
