Google Cloud to invest $10m in BNB Chain accelerator program

As a seasoned researcher with a keen eye for technological advancements, particularly in the realm of blockchain and decentralized applications, I find this collaboration between Google Cloud and BNB Chain to be an exciting development. My personal experience has taught me that such partnerships not only foster innovation but also create a ripple effect across the ecosystem.


Google Cloud is planning to aid the BNB Chain system by allocating funds towards its blockchain network’s growth initiative.

On November 12th, it was announced that Google Cloud’s web3 Startups Program will be investing $10 million into the BNB Chain’s Most Valuable Builder (MVB) program. This program is a four-week accelerator designed for developers, founders, and builders, which is currently in its eighth season.

As per the recent statement from BNB Chain, the goal of MVB (Binance NFT Venture) is to boost the expansion of decentralized applications on the BNB Chain. This program operates in conjunction with Binance’s venture capital and incubator division, Binance Labs, as well as CoinMarketCap’s accelerator, CMC Labs.

Over the subsequent two years, I’ll be working closely with Google Cloud to bolster up to 40 innovative web3 startups under their program.

Projects that meet the eligibility criteria will be granted support through cloud credits. For projects emphasizing artificial intelligence, you could potentially secure up to $350,000 worth of Google Cloud credits, whereas web3-centric projects can expect to receive $200,000 in credits.

Google Cloud’s investment in BNB Chain comes as the blockchain space sees increased collaboration across AI, gaming, and web3. Platforms and crypto projects recently integrating Google Cloud’s infrastructure include MANTRA Chain, Flare and Sui.

In the past few weeks, I’ve witnessed a significant surge in the value of the Cronos (CRO) token, which can be attributed to a fresh partnership with Google Cloud. This partnership seems to echo similar alliances observed within the industry. More specifically, Cronos Labs announced that this strategic alliance will incorporate Google Cloud as a validator, enhance collaboration among developers, and offer assistance to startups. As an analyst, I find this development promising for the growth of both parties involved.

This initiative seeks to fortify the network of decentralized applications, focusing on key sectors like decentralized finance, virtual universes (metaverse), blockchain games, and digital assets such as non-interchangeable tokens (NFTs).
