BNB Chain’s Web3 Growth Stories
BNB Chain, the community-driven blockchain ecosystem that includes the world’s largest smart contract blockchain, is highlighting the compelling growth stories of the projects that emerge from its project development program, starting with its hackathons. This comes in the wake of BNB Chain’s Istanbul Hackathon, which saw the emergence of a number of strong projects.
The focus of the bear market is building quality Web3 projects – this is a time for developers to concentrate on identifying what real use cases need solving. However, quarterly funding for Web3 startups has dropped by approximately 84% this year. Against this backdrop, thousands of founders have looked to alternate ways to develop their projects to the point of launch readiness.
By providing constant guidance, in addition to routinely incentivizing innovation with its global hackathons, BNB Chain mentors these projects through the various stages of their development journeys as they strive to realize the immense potential of Web3.

BNB Chain’s recent Istanbul Hackathon saw a number of exciting projects start on this journey, with a number of the winners sharing how they plan to utilize their winnings to advance their projects.
MoveSpace: Revolutionizing Data Transparency
MoveSpace, an on-chain data labeling and marketplace powered by a vector database, is addressing the data transparency issue in AI training to incentivize human interactions with data with BNB Greenfield. Using the funds they won at the BNB Chain Hackathon, they are further refining their concept – making data tradable as a regular commodity or asset – to make data ownership meaningful, setting them up for success at their first round of fundraising.
ZeroX: Web3 Gaming for Mass Adoption
Another winning project exemplifying the practical applications of blockchain technology is ZeroX, a Web3 Gaming platform with a core mission of onboarding users to Web3 through gaming. Offering SDK and API services for traditional game development, they are lowering the barriers for traditional game developers and gamers to enter Web3. They will allocate the funds they won at the Istanbul hackathon to accelerate their growth and incorporate BNB Greenfield into their product, putting them in a leading position for their first funding round and upcoming public product launch.
