$1 Billion Push for Innovation
The Builder Fund will provide financial backing and strategic support for projects focused on trading, real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, artificial intelligence, decentralized science (DeSci), DeFi, payments, and wallets. Selected founders must join the Most Valuable Builder (MVB) accelerator program through YZi Labs’ EASY Residency starting this October.
Funding opportunities include up to $500,000 per project, alongside access to advanced tools, platform integrations, and the extensive Binance ecosystem of over 460 million users. YZi Labs has previously supported high-profile projects like PancakeSwap, ListaDAO, Aster, and Aspecta, all of which have achieved notable adoption and investor interest.
Ella Zhang, Head of YZi Labs, emphasized that the initiative prepares the BNB ecosystem for the next wave of digital infrastructure adoption, combining decentralization, scalability, and security to deliver real-world impact.
BNB Chain Hits New Transaction Milestone
BNB Chain recently recorded an unprecedented 26 million daily transactions, highlighting its position as a top-performing blockchain network. Enhanced by the Maxwell Hardfork in May, the chain now features faster block times of 0.75 seconds and lower transaction fees of 0.05 Gwei, fueling higher daily active users and DEX trading volumes.
Binance Coin Surpasses Major Cryptos
Binance Coin has overtaken XRP and Tether (USDT) to become the third-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. BNB’s price recently reached an all-time high above $1,330, supported by a 105% surge in trading volume over 24 hours. These factors demonstrate growing investor confidence and adoption across the ecosystem.
The $1 billion Builder Fund reflects YZi Labs’ commitment to scaling the BNB ecosystem and supporting innovation that could redefine blockchain utility and adoption. With strategic funding and strong network infrastructure, BNB is poised to strengthen its position as a market leader in 2025.
