$1B reasons to build on BNB Chain…

Together with YZi Labs, we’re launching a $1B Builder Fund to power founders creating the next wave of onchain innovation.

Here’s what it means for the ecosystem 👇

The fund supports builders across every frontier of Web3, from DeFi and AI to RWA, Trading, Payments, Wallets, and DeSci. Each project gets access to funding, incubation, integrations, and BNB Chain’s 460M+ user ecosystem.

This is about more than capital. It’s a long-term commitment to innovation, to builders creating open, scalable, and secure systems that drive real progress.

BNB Chain continues to reach new milestones:
🔸26M daily transactions (Oct 8, 2025)
🔸#1 in DEX volume and DAUs
🔸BNB surpassing $1,330 and becoming the third largest digital asset by market cap

The Maxwell Hardfork took performance even higher, cutting block times to 0.75 seconds and lowering fees to just 0.05 Gwei. Builders and users are choosing BNB Chain for one reason: speed and scale that deliver.

Our Most Valuable Builder (MVB) program has already powered more than 190 projects, helping founders turn ideas into thriving ecosystems. Now, under YZi Labs’ EASY Residency, MVB offers mentorship, ecosystem support, and up to $500K in funding for builders leading the next wave of DeFi, AI, and RWA innovation.

YZi Labs has long supported the BNB ecosystem, backing ecosystem projects while advancing institutional adoption across RWA and DeFi.

The $1B Builder Fund expands this commitment even further.

Together, we’re building the foundation for a faster, fairer, and more connected global onchain economy.

This is the next chapter for builders, and it starts here.

BNB Chain and Four.meme Launch a $45M Reload Airdrop with Ecosystem Partners

Recent market conditions have created turbulence across the broader crypto landscape, yet the BNB community continues to build, create and stay engaged through it all. That spirit of resilience is what keeps our ecosystem strong.

To recognize that dedication, BNB Chain, together with Four Meme, supported by PancakeSwap, Binance Wallet, and Trust Wallet, will launch a $45M Reload Airdrop across memecoins on BNB Chain.

This initiative will distribute the $45M in BNB to 160k+ users/addresses who have traded memecoins recently over the past week and lost money, with the final amount of airdropped BNB being distributed randomly. The first batch of airdrops will be distributed starting this week, all airdrops to the 160K+ addresses will be completed by early November 2025.

This initiative represents a collective effort across the BNB ecosystem to show appreciation for our users and builders, especially the memecoin community. The memecoin community is one of the most active and creative communities in the ecosystem, who have been affected the most by recent events especially during the past week.

Thank you to everyone who continues to build, create, and participate across BNB Chain. Your energy is what keeps this ecosystem moving forward. We remain committed to supporting all builders, users, and all areas of innovation that make this ecosystem thrive.

For more details, please stay tuned to the official channels.

Clarification: This initiative focuses on supporting users who experienced losses while trading memecoins during the recent market volatility.

We appreciate your understanding and patience, more details will be shared soon through official BNB Chain channels.

The Reload Airdrop is a gesture of appreciation for the builders, traders, and creators who keep the BNB ecosystem active, even through challenging markets, supported by PancakeSwap, Binance Wallet, and Trust Wallet.

The airdrop will be distributed in 4 total batches, with recipient addresses published each round so the community can verify every step of the process.
