TechFlow news, on July 4, BNB Chain announced that DeFi protocol UpTop and AI health tech platform Bitring have joined as official sponsors for the latest round of the BNB Hackathon. Their participation brings two new bounty challenges for developers and further expands BNB Hack's technological exploration in cutting-edge fields such as AI, DeSoc, DeSci, and DePIN.
• UpTop is a decentralized liquidity protocol built on BNB Chain that lowers the barrier to entry for DeFi users through one-click single-sided BNB staking and impermanent loss (IL) protection mechanisms. UpTop is launching an $8,000 bounty challenge, encouraging developers to innovate in contract extensions and governance mechanisms for next-generation liquidity pools.
• Bitring is a wearable health platform integrating AI biometrics, on-chain incentives, and smart contract-based insurance. Its flagship product is a 999 gold smart ring that provides 24/7 health data analytics and on-chain protection. For this event, Bitring is offering 10 Genesis smart rings (each valued at $1,199) as developer rewards, encouraging the development of AI modules capable of identifying dietary and nutritional patterns.
Since the launch of the event, BNB Hack has attracted hundreds of teams worldwide submitting projects, including early-stage projects such as Tokrio, Stitch AI, PlayAI, and BINK AI, some of which have already launched or secured funding. Thirty-seven projects continue to receive support from ecosystem mentors and remain eligible for future awards.
BNB Chain also extends its gratitude to long-term partners including APRO, Solidus AI Tech, ASI Alliance, Netmind, USDX, and Unibase for their ongoing support of open innovation.
