BNB Chain has partnered with Google Cloud to significantly enhance its Most Valuable Builder (MVB) program, providing $10 million in cloud service credits. This collaboration will enable supported projects to access up to $350,000 in credits for AI projects and $200,000 for other initiatives.
BNB Chain and Google Cloud Partnership
BNB Chain announced a collaboration with Google Cloud involving a $10 million investment in the form of cloud services credits for MVB program projects. Through this partnership, up to 40 projects can receive up to $350,000 in credits for AI-focused projects, and up to $200,000 for non-AI initiatives. These funds are aimed at developing applications within the BNB Chain ecosystem, which boasts over 4,000 decentralized applications in categories like DeFi, NFTs, metaverse, and gaming.
BNB Chain’s MVB Program
The Most Valuable Builder (MVB) program, now in its eighth season, serves as a four-week accelerator designed to support developers, founders, and builders. By offering resources and guidance from Binance Labs and CMC Labs, the program aims to expedite the growth of innovative projects within the BNB Chain ecosystem. Participants in the program receive comprehensive support, including development strategies and scaling advice, along with access to top-tier mentors and experts in blockchain development.
Broader Impact on the Blockchain Space
Google Cloud has already integrated its infrastructure with several blockchain projects, including MANTRA Chain, Flare, and Sui. Recently, Cronos Labs announced a strategic partnership with Google Cloud, adding it as a validator, fostering developer collaboration, and providing startup support. BNB Chain's position as the largest smart contract blockchain by daily active users uniquely positions it to attract both developers and users.
The partnership between BNB Chain and Google Cloud has great potential for supporting the growth of Web3 applications, strengthening BNB Chain's position as a leading innovation platform in the blockchain industry. It also demonstrates growing trust from big tech giants in the potential of blockchain technologies.
