October Monthly Stars

For October, we reviewed dozens of eligible projects and in the end shortlisted these 11 projects based on their performance across multiple metrics, including transaction volume, active users, total transactions, and more. More importantly, MVB reviewed their security audit status, product innovation level, development activity, and community engagement. We want to identify the projects dedicated to their users and mission, innovating and providing a top-class user experience.

Please note that only projects placed among Monthly Stars can place in the #MVBIII final top 10 players. We will introduce a decentralized mechanism for determining the final top 10 players very soon and subsequently announce the winners at the end of November.
