BNB Chain Announces Latest BNB Hack Winner
Dubai, UAE, June 12th, 2025, Chainwire
BNB Chain, the community-driven blockchain ecosystem, today announced the winners of its latest BNB Hack batch, continuing to recognize innovation across AI, DeSoc, DeSci, DePIN, and other Web3 categories. The June 12 batch includes one standout project, MCPForge, selected as a Tier 3 winner, reflecting strong traction, technical development, and potential for monetization.
Since launching in February, BNB Hack has drawn hundreds of submissions from global builders eager to push the boundaries of blockchain applications. With a flexible, rolling evaluation process, the program offers tiered rewards, continuous feedback, and long-term ecosystem support. To date, 5 Tier 3 winners and 35 potential awardees have been selected, with several projects already live on mainnet and under review for further advancement.
The newly elevated Tier 3 project brings powerful infrastructure innovation to the space. MCPForge is a crypto-native AI Agent tool marketplace that transforms GitHub-based MCP Repos into deployable, callable, and monetizable AI services, streamlining the path from open-source code to real-world income. MCPForge will receive expanded rewards and mentorship, along with a dedicated demo opportunity on BNB Chain’s official channels.
The latest batch drew over 30 submissions, and four additional early-stage projects have been awarded Tier 4 status. These potential awardees are now undergoing continuous evaluation as they build toward mainnet deployment and possible tier advancement.
Among the newly recognized Tier 4 projects are:
- Quest Craft: A Play-to-Earn Minecraft server where players link crypto wallets, complete AI-generated quests, and earn soulbound tokens with in-game and real-world utility.
- Akai Space: A gamified data-labeling platform blending Web3 incentives, AI-assisted annotation, and Play-to-Earn design to produce high-quality datasets for AI development.
- Expiry Mitra: An AI-powered, decentralized tool that verifies the authenticity of medicine, helping users and pharmacies fight counterfeit drugs.
- NeuroBalance: An AI-driven crypto portfolio manager on BNB Smart Chain that uses machine learning to automatically rebalance assets based on customizable strategies.
These Tier 4 projects will benefit from technical guidance, visibility across BNB Chain channels, and access to the broader builder ecosystem.
BNB Hack has continued to accelerate ecosystem momentum, with several past winners and awardees reaching significant milestones. Highlights can be found here.
The hackathon is open to all Web3 builders, from solo developers to startups, with no fixed deadline. Any project launched on testnet or mainnet after February 12, 2025, is eligible. Participants can submit their builds, receive feedback, iterate, and resubmit for review and tier consideration.
Top projects can unlock rewards of up to $10,000 in cash and a $50,000 Kickstart package, along with opportunities for inclusion in the Most Valuable Builder (MVB) program and BNB Demo Day.
To further encourage participation, over $540,000 in sponsored challenge prizes have been introduced. In addition, developers can now submit code examples through the Cookbook Bounty and win a share of a $10,000 prize pool, while boosting their project visibility.
Applications for the next batch are open until June 18. Interested builders can apply here.
