"We see Merit Circle as a high potential DAO with a deep understanding of play-to-earn mechanisms and the gaming industry. That’s why Binance Labs invested in MC last November and will keep working closely and continue to build a gaming ecosystem together on BNB Chain."

Subsequently, the CEO of Merit Circle Marco van den Heuvel highlighted the platform’s community-driven ecosystem and investments into "promising games", putting Merit Circle’s task of "shaping the future of GameFi" as the main goal.
