YZi Labs Announces 25 Graduate Projects from EASY Residency Season 3
YZi Labs' flagship incubation program EASY Residency has completed its third season, graduating 25 project teams covering various sectors including new market structures in on-chain finance, AI agents and verifiable intelligence, RWA and new asset classes, prediction and event-driven markets, privacy and compliance.
Graduating teams include Bank of AI (BNB Chain AI agent identity payment layer), Brief Tech (automated legal evidence court materials), Cournot (AI probabilistic verifiable reasoning), Dapital (social signal on-chain trading), Flap (programmable token issuance), GEMINT (collectible IP assets), among others.
Market Mechanism: YZi Labs, as the incubation entity, provides resource support for the graduated projects, facilitating early-stage Web3/AI founders' financing and implementation needs, directing funds towards the incubation ecosystem and 25 vertical sector projects; graduating teams and YZi Labs benefit from Demo Day exposure and subsequent investments, while traditional sector early projects face pressure.

YZi Labs evolved from Binance Labs and has previously incubated projects like AltLayer and KiloEx through the first two seasons of EASY Residency. This S3 continues its path to expand into the AI+Web3 intersection by 2025, having held a Demo Day at Token2049 Dubai in April and shifting to year-round rolling admissions.
In terms of capital pathways, YZi Labs mobilizes over $10 billion in managed assets and global network resources to provide incubation support, Demo Day roadshows, and potential follow-on investments to the 25 teams. The motivation is to capture early opportunities in high-growth sectors such as AI agents, RWA, and prediction markets, accelerating founders from 0 to 1 through structured incubation to build the next generation of infrastructure and application project pipelines.
Similar cases include Binance Labs' early MVB project incubation path and a16z Crypto's layout for AI+crypto intersection funds; YZi Labs is currently transitioning from single incubation to long-term capital deployment across AI+Web3+Biotech.
Structural Judgment: Essentially, this is a reconstruction of the industrial chain driven by technological substitution. EASY Residency, by concentrating on incubating projects like AI agents, verifiable reasoning, and RWA, shifts pricing power from dispersed early entrepreneurs to structured incubation platforms and fund networks. The mechanism reduces founders' trial-and-error costs through Demo Day and resource matching, forming an accelerated pipeline from pre-seed to Series A, speeding up the evolution of Web3 from infrastructure to AI-driven applications and new asset classes.

The more structured the incubation, the more valuable the early projects.
As AI consumes old sectors, new pipelines build walls first.
The longer the graduation list, the more concentrated the next round of capital.
