On Feb 5, 2021, Binance announced its new 3-phase accelerator fund for the BSC ecosystem called the Most Valuable Builder. In this article, we share the latest updates and look at the last, third phase.
When Binance first announced their Most Valuable Builder (MVB) Accelerator Program on Feb 5 this year, new developers and projects stormed the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) and started building. Since Feb 8, 2021, Binance received over 650 applications for the MVB fund. This fund is an excellent addition to the existing BUIDL Reward Program for developers building on BSC infrastructure.
