Binance Labs announced the 13 early-stage projects selected for the seventh season of the accelerator program MVB VII. The 10-week accelerator program is jointly operated by the community-driven blockchain ecosystem BNB Chain and Binance Labs.
Odaily will analyze the project business, highlights and some basic information in this article.
DeFi projects
BitU
Project Business: BitU is a crypto-native collateralized stablecoin protocol that leverages off-chain liquidity and efficiency to deliver higher yields. BitU enables users to mint BITU, a fully supported stablecoin, using major crypto assets supported by the protocol. BITU is a crypto-native stablecoin with passive yields designed to break the boundaries of on-chain funding and activity. BitU said that one of the most innovative components of its protocol is its Active Liquidity Management Module (ALMM), which enables risk management and portfolio liquidation, provides initial liquidity to BITU, and earns income through market-neutral strategies.
A simple understanding of BitUs business is that the deposit interest rate and liquidity of USDT and USDC off-chain (that is, centralized exchanges) are higher than on-chain. This phenomenon is caused by security issues on the chain.BitU will use protocol (user) funds to generate revenue off-chain, and then reward users who use the protocol online。
Potential highlights: Custodians include Ceffu, which according to Ceffu is “Binance exchange’s only institutional custody partner.” Last year, U.S. regulators described Ceffu as a “mysterious entity associated with Binance.”
Current status: DApp has not been launched, and there is no content on Twitter.

infrastructure
Aggregata
Project business: A decentralized data community designed to promote the evolution of AI. Users create high-quality data, price it, and upload it directly to decentralized storage through Greendrive for Greenfield. AI datasets can be shared, sold, or found on the free market.
Users earn tokens by contributing data, users retain full ownership and control of their data, treating data as an asset. Supports data sets, AI environments, and AI models to meet the needs of diverse AI projects, and provides rewards for data providers and downloaders based on various standards.
Developers can leverage AI data and deploy solutions with one click, enabling them to quickly train, fine-tune, and perform model inference or build knowledge bases on servers with any computing power.
In short, the protocol provides users with data for AI development, and users receive incentive tokens based on data provision and developer usage.
Current status: The official website program is open for download, and Twitter will run for two weeks.

Nesa
Project business: Nesa is a lightweight Layer 1 that uses on-chain ZKML to perform critical AI reasoning for queries that require a high degree of privacy, security, and trust.
Nesa was created as an alternative to ChatGPT and other centralized platforms today, providing privacy for question queries. These platforms are not responsible for their key transaction outputs, and there is no privacy of data and results. Nesa solves this problem with its ZKML solution.
Nesa has established a decentralized query market with a reward economy system composed of AI developers, queryers, miners, and model reviewers.
Nesas inference works by using Nesas ZKML Layer-1 to trustfully query off-chain AI models while keeping their hyperparameters and outputs private. After the mining network reaches a consensus, these trustworthy proofs are broadcast on the chain through the system oracle.
Project highlights: Highly integrated with blockchain, novel in type, and the economic system can be closed-loop. However, there is a potential possibility that the privacy sector will be difficult to list on exchanges.
Current status: The product is not online yet, and there is no content on Twitter.

Nimble
Project business: AI data and model economic protocol. Nimble is committed to creating an open economy for data and AI and will provide a decentralized framework that enables artificial intelligence models and data to be combined and reused. Networks of interconnected AI intermediaries, data providers, and computing resources replace centralized platforms. Anyone can own, run and train enterprise-grade AI through a decentralized network. Just like Google makes the worlds data accessible to everyone, Nimble aims to democratize the exchange of intelligence to enable permissionless innovation.
Data contributors and model builders will receive incentives, and each DApp is a consumer. Potential uses mentioned by Nimble include decentralized social networks, decentralized social messaging, personalized recommendation systems, decentralized identity, on-chain security protocols, digital asset management, targeted user growth, decentralized content distribution, etc. .
Current status: Twitter is officially operational.

in conclusion
Compared with the previous issue, this MVB VII has AI projects dominating the list, especially three of the infrastructure projects. Compared with some covert AI projects, they are more native and closely integrated with the characteristics of the blockchain and user needs. MVB VII may be expected to produce several projects of real value and ecological change.
