The selected projects span various categories, showcasing innovation in AI, including platforms such as BitGPT and Datai Network. Additionally, DeFi solutions like BitFi and LIKWID highlight the growing demand for decentralized financial systems. The event underscores BNB Chain’s commitment to fostering early-stage projects by offering resources essential for success in the evolving Web3 landscape.
