ChainCatcher HK Deliberate | A quick look at BNB Chain MVB's ninth phase shortlisted project, who will be the next dark horse?

Author: ChainCatcher

On April 5, a low-key and focused closed-door activity was underway in the AWS office space at 535 Sheffield Road, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong. The 16 projects shortlisted for the "Most Value Builder" (MVB) accelerator program hosted by BNB Chain and YZi Labs and CMC Labs are all gathered here.

The 4-week accelerator program aims to cultivate technology-driven innovators for the BNB Chain ecosystem, said Sarah, head of BNB Chain’s business, MVB Phase 9 was built for real builders. At the scene, Chain Catcher HK's assistant really felt a strong atmosphere of hope.

Next, the editor will sort out the 16 shortlisted projects to see if the next dark horse will be out?

(The market is not easy, just walk around and take a look to discover the small spark of hope)
