Binance opens the Blockchain 100 for 2026

Binance has opened nominations for its 2026 Global Top 100 Blockchain Creators Award , an annual list that recognises people who share knowledge and publish content about crypto. The exchange announced the award on its own announcement page on 13 October 2026, under the name The Blockchain 100 Award 2026, presented by Binance and partners.

Binance is the world's largest crypto exchange by trading volume, and it runs this award as a community exercise rather than a trading product. The company says the award is meant to recognise knowledge sharing, information dissemination and high-quality content, and it is inviting the wider industry to nominate and then vote on the creators it considers influential.

Four stages, but only one is open

The award runs in four stages: public nomination, community voting, a results announcement and an awards ceremony. Nominations are the only stage open right now. Binance has not published the dates for the voting window, the results or the ceremony, and it has not named the partners it says are presenting the award with it.

Why this award matters to this newsroom

This is not the first edition. BitWorld Media , the publisher of this article, won the 2025 Blockchain 100 Award in the crypto press category , so the 2026 edition is a personal one for this newsroom. That win is the reason we are covering the launch closely rather than treating it as a routine announcement.

Can Indian and non-Binance creators join?

Who can take part? Binance says the event is open to the global community, and creators do not need to be Binance users to be nominated. That matters in a market where Indian crypto educators have built large audiences but rarely get global recognition.

For ordinary holders and users, the practical effect is small: the award does not change fees, listings or how the exchange works. For content creators, traders and analysts, it is a visibility contest, and a place on the list can carry weight with sponsors and audiences. For Binance, it is a way to keep its name in front of the creator economy that drives much of crypto's conversation.

How to nominate creators

Anyone can nominate creators through the nomination survey on The Blockchain 100 event page, including self-nominations. Creators may be nominated in different award categories, and each nomination can include the same creator for up to one category. There are five award categories in total.

Note:

• Media and ally partners of The Blockchain 100 can also submit nominations. 
• The nominee’s country or region of residence does not affect eligibility.

Nomination Period: 2026-10-13 09:00 (UTC) to 2026-10-16 15:59 (UTC)

Creators react, and start making lists

Reactions on X were quick and mostly warm. Binance's own account asked who shaped 2026 and said nominations for The Blockchain 100 were open. Elja (@Eljaboom) said on X that 2026 belongs to the people who kept building while everyone else was chasing narratives, while Builder (@thebnbmascot) asked who should be picked. Vy Million (@vy_million) called it amazing news and Aman Sai (@amansaiofficial) said they were ready for voting.

Others were already drawing up lists. Leo (@dongboshieth) said on X they already had a few anonymous builders and crypto Twitter traders in mind. Purple Cat (@PurpleCatKing) wrote that the cat is still writing his story and maybe one day will be part of that conversation, and Crypto Man MAB (@MabMan338) called the launch amazing.

What happens next depends on Binance. The exchange still has to publish the nomination and voting dates, the eligibility rules and the names of its partners, and only then will creators know how long they have to make their case. Until those details are out, the award is an open call with no timetable attached.

Questions readers ask

What is Binance's Blockchain 100 Award 2026?

It is an annual award from Binance that recognises influential blockchain content creators for knowledge sharing and high-quality content. Binance announced the 2026 edition on its own announcement page on 13 October 2026, with four stages: public nomination, community voting, a results announcement and an awards ceremony.

Our view

Recognition in this industry usually follows trading volume or token price, so an award built around people who explain crypto is a useful corrective. Binance's Blockchain 100 puts educators, analysts and writers in front of a global audience, and it does so without asking them to hold a position or run a book. That is worth something in a market where attention is the scarcest asset.
