BSC MVB III: What It Is, Who’s Involved, and What You Need to Know

When you hear BSC MVB III, a third-wave blockchain acceleration program hosted by Binance Smart Chain to fund and scale early-stage crypto projects. Also known as MVB Season 3, it was one of the most watched crypto incubator programs in 2021, putting over 20 projects on the map with real funding, exposure, and technical support. Unlike generic pitch contests, BSC MVB III wasn’t just about flashy slides—it demanded working code, real user traction, and clear tokenomics. Teams had to prove they could build something people actually used, not just talk about it on Twitter.

The program was built around Binance Smart Chain, a high-speed, low-cost blockchain designed to compete with Ethereum by offering faster transactions and cheaper fees. Also known as BSC, it became the go-to chain for DeFi, NFTs, and meme coins because it let developers launch fast without drowning in gas fees. Projects in MVB III had to be built on BSC or plan to launch there, which meant the entire cohort was focused on solving real problems in that ecosystem—like improving liquidity, reducing slippage, or making DeFi easier for beginners. You’ll find posts here about tokens that came out of MVB III, like POOH and RyuJin, which didn’t win the program but rode the wave of attention it created. Other projects, like OraiDEX and Astroport, were either inspired by or directly benefited from the infrastructure and visibility MVB III helped build.

BSC MVB III also shaped how people think about crypto incubators, structured programs that provide funding, mentorship, and exposure to early crypto startups. Also known as blockchain accelerators, they’ve become the modern equivalent of venture capital for Web3 teams. Before MVB III, most crypto projects relied on private sales or random airdrops to get started. MVB III changed that by turning selection into a public event—live pitches, community voting, and real-time feedback. That transparency made it harder for scams to hide, and it gave users a chance to vote with their attention before a token even launched. Even though the program ended, its legacy lives on in how today’s projects approach launch strategy, community building, and on-chain utility.

What you’ll find in this collection aren’t just press releases or hype posts. These are deep dives into what actually happened after the cameras stopped rolling—how some MVB III projects grew, how others vanished, and how the chain itself evolved. You’ll see real reviews of exchanges like OraiDEX, breakdowns of tokens like GPTON and RYU that emerged from that era, and even warnings about scams that tried to piggyback on its reputation. This isn’t nostalgia—it’s a map of what worked, what didn’t, and why the lessons from BSC MVB III still matter if you’re building, investing, or just trying to avoid getting burned in crypto today.
