Of those 500, 14 early-stage startups have been selected based on their potential and best fit for this “season.”
The fourth Season of the Binance Labs Incubation Program started on ay 5th and will run for several weeks. All participants receive mentorship and guidance and can pitch to investors during the Demo Day when the Season comes to an end. Participating teams will need to put their best foot forward, as there is much work to do and growth to achieve.

Projects To Keep An Eye On
The fourth Season of the Binance Labs Incubation Program will focus on infrastructure, DeFi, gaming & metaverse, SocialFi & creator economy, and Crypto Fintech. It is a multi-pronged approach bringing the spotlight to the crucial industry verticals. Mainstream interest in decentralized finance, gaming, the metaverse, and SocialFi has risen. Accessing these verticals is only possible with solid infrastructure and projects capable of bringing more people into the fold.
One of the gaming & metaverse participants is ChapterX, an immersive 3D platform letting users build fully customizable worlds and avatars. Furthermore, users can engage with their friends in the virtual world or forge new friendships while exploring metaverse experiences mirroring a real-life experience. THrough its chat and voice communication, the social aspect of the metaverse is elevated to a new level and further blurs the line between the real and virtual worlds.
On the infrastructure friend, there is NuLink. Security and privacy are paramount aspects in the cryptocurrency and blockchain industry. NuLink wants to build a decentralized network to enable security and privacy for developers seeing to preserve user privacy at all times. There is much sensitive and personal data floating around in the virtual world and privacy-preserving solutions will be of tremendous value to users.
