Since kicking off, #BNBHack has racked up over 250 submissions, with 60 honorable mentions and 9 full winners so far.

It's clear this is gaining serious traction among devs and startups looking to make waves in blockchain.

Let's break down the latest honorable mentions—these are the projects that caught the judges' eyes and earned that sweet recognition:

In the AI Track, there's ProtectedPay, which makes BNB transfers a breeze by adding refund options for those pesky mistyped addresses. No more heart attacks over fat-finger errors!

Shifting to the DeSoc Track, we've got a lineup that's all about trust, verification, and social vibes in the decentralized world:

  • ChainCred: Think fraud-proof blockchain certificates you can verify with just one click—perfect for credentials that stick.
  • VeriSafe: Instant, tamper-proof on-chain ID verification to keep things secure and straightforward.
  • Vibe: A fun Web3 dating app where profiles link to wallets, openers are NFTs, and everything's gamified for that extra spark.
  • Briefly: Matches clients with KYC-verified lawyers using BUSD escrow and Greenfield storage for legal help that's actually accessible.
  • ProofChain: Uses soulbound NFTs for employment verification and builds on-chain reputation scores.
  • Xcrest: Handles milestone-based funding and freelancer hires with verified reps on the blockchain.
  • YapYard: An attention marketplace linking projects with creators for genuine, authentic engagement—could be a game-changer for marketing in crypto.

Over in the DePIN Track, FairBNB stands out as a DAO-powered rental marketplace using NFT agreements, escrow, and fair dispute resolution to make peer-to-peer rentals smoother and more equitable.

Finally, for the DeSci Track, Kognys brings decentralized AI research agents with verifiable memory, ensuring transparent discoveries in the science space.

These winners aren't just getting kudos—they're in line for some solid prizes, including up to $10K in cash plus a $50K kickstart package.
