We're back with the third batch update for our $100M Liquidity Incentive Program!

In this batch, there are 3 BSC native projects launched on designated CEXs, namely Aiden Labs ($ADN), SCARCITY ($SCARCITY), and Shong Inu ($SHONG).

After a strict & thorough review, none of the projects met the eligibility criteria for liquidity support.

Here's why:
- $ADN – Active Holders < 10,000 & Average Daily Trading Volume < $1M
- $SCARCITY – Top 10 EOA > 10% & Average Daily Trading Volume < $1M
- $SHONG – Top 10 EOA > 10%, Active Holders < 10,000 & Average Daily Trading Volume < $1M

While they didn’t make the cut this time, these projects are still eligible to reapply for future batches once they meet the required criteria.

Only assets listed on CEXs after March 24, 2025, are eligible for liquidity rewards. This ensures alignment with the program launch and fairness in evaluation.

To all builders on BNB Chain: keep shipping. If your project meets the criteria, it could be next to receive liquidity support.

We're also making strategic improvements to this program to better support the ecosystem—so stay tuned.
