Global cryptocurrency exchange Binance has announced the inaugural launch of The Blockchain 100, a new annual awards program designed to celebrate the most influential creators advancing innovation, education, and community engagement in the Web3 space. The initiative aims to spotlight the individuals and teams who have made significant contributions to the broader adoption of blockchain technology.
Recognizing The Industry’s Top Voices
The Blockchain 100 will honor 100 creators across seven distinct categories, highlighting the diverse roles that contribute to the ecosystem’s growth. The categories include Industry Advocate, Independent Researcher, Trader, Community Builder, Video and Live Creator, Crypto Press, and Rising Star. The awards are intended to elevate the voices that have had a profound impact on the industry through sharing information and creating inspirational content.
A Community-Driven Selection Process
The selection process is designed to be transparent and driven by the community. It begins with a public nomination period, open from September 25 to October 12, 2025, where anyone can submit nominees. Following this, a shortlist will be presented for public voting from October 15 to October 26 on the Binance Square platform, where verified users can vote daily in each category. Eligible nominees must produce educational or inspiring crypto-related content and have a minimum of 10,000 followers on a major social platform. The final winners will be announced on November 3, 2025.
Spotlight On Dubai The MENA Connection
Reinforcing the MENA region’s growing importance as a global crypto hub, the official in-person award ceremony for The Blockchain 100 will be held on December 3, 2025, in Dubai. The event will be a key feature of the Binance Blockchain Week, where winners will receive engraved medals and participate in exclusive networking events. The choice of Dubai as the host city underscores its strategic position in the global Web3 landscape.
“Crypto has always been about the community and the people who make it possible,” said Rachel Conlan, Chief Marketing Officer of Binance. “Progressing the industry towards one billion users and beyond will take collective effort, and we want to recognize the individuals who have put in the hard work from the early days to help build this vibrant ecosystem.”
