"'Build The Block' is Binance's latest innovative experiment – to create the industry's first metaverse investment competition. This initiative has attracted a large number of Web3 entrepreneurs and builders to participate and showcase their projects. We hope that such a platform can encourage everyone to innovate further. We believe in the potential of metaverse and blockchain technology and will continue to empower innovators to create the future of the internet," shared He Yi, co-founder and CMO of Binance and head of Binance Labs.
