Starting May 29, RWA-focused teams can apply to join the program, which offers a mix of technical, financial, and promotional support. The program is designed to help both new and existing RWA projects grow by leveraging BNB Chain’s large user base and efficient infrastructure.
This initiative is part of BNB Chain’s ongoing effort to expand its use cases and strengthen its presence in the Web3 space. By focusing on RWAs, assets like real estate, commodities, or financial instruments that are represented on the blockchain—the network hopes to bring more real-world value into its ecosystem.
Projects accepted into the program can expect hands-on guidance, from compliance and technical setup to liquidity incentives and tailored development strategies. Additionally, there will be funding opportunities and marketing support to help projects scale quickly.
How the Selection Works
BNB Chain has made the application process open to all RWA projects, regardless of size or niche. The selection committee will evaluate both established projects and early-stage startups, with attention to innovation, technical feasibility, and long-term growth potential.
To increase transparency, applicants are encouraged to integrate with DeFiLlama, a platform that tracks decentralized finance metrics. Doing so can help projects provide more visibility to evaluators and the community at large.
Importantly, projects not selected in the first round can still benefit from staying connected with the BNB Chain team for future opportunities.
Why RWA Projects Are Targeting BNB Chain
Several factors make BNB Chain a strong choice for RWA developers. The network processes over 2,000 transactions per second (TPS) on its main BNB Smart Chain and more than 4,000 TPS via its Layer 2 solution, opBNB. Transaction costs are minimal, averaging around $0.01, and the blockchain remains fully compatible with Ethereum’s smart contract environment.
BNB Chain also boasts high user activity, with over 562 million unique wallet addresses and approximately 10 million daily active users. Its ecosystem supports more than 5,000 decentralized apps (dApps), and holds over $10.7 billion in total value locked (TVL) in DeFi protocols. It also supports a stablecoin market worth over $10 billion.
