YZi Labs announced investments in 17 new projects, focusing on three main areas: Web3, AI, and biotechnology.

YZi Labs Unveils EASY Residency Season 2 Cohort, Strategically Investing in Web3, AI, and Cutting-Edge Biotechnology.

Today, innovation incubator YZi Labs officially announced the complete list of projects selected for its EASY Residency Season 2 and declared its investment in all participating projects. This season's program focuses deeply on three core areas: Web3, artificial intelligence, and biotechnology, aiming to systematically cultivate the next generation of transformative technological solutions.

The selected projects demonstrate a dual focus on integrating cutting-edge technology and solving real-world problems.

In the Web3 and financial infrastructure sector, the cohort includes asset issuance protocol 42.space, Bitcoin liquidity protocol Sats Terminal, and Saturn Labs, a high-yield stablecoin project backed by Bitcoin credit. Simultaneously, Frontrun, a wallet tool for professional traders;

Hertzflow, a permissionless leverage market; and Predict.fun, a prediction market aimed at improving liquidity, all strive to build a more efficient and open financial experience. Help.fun, a crypto launchpad for non-profit organizations, lowers the barrier to entry for using new technologies in the public good sector.

Artificial intelligence, as a key enabling technology, has given rise to several vertical applications: 4D Labs focuses on the development and application of spatial intelligence large models;

the Manifolds platform is dedicated to achieving AI-driven controllable 3D video generation; and FingerDance aims to build an AI-powered sign language translation infrastructure for the global deaf and hard-of-hearing community, showcasing the humanistic care of technology.

Bento.fun, a social layer for prediction markets, is also included, enriching the interactive forms of AI.

In the integration of biotechnology and physical industries, projects directly address significant needs: Advent utilizes AI-driven precision gene therapy development; Neomera BioLab focuses on developing better non-opioid therapies for chronic diseases;

and AgriDynamics and Trellis Robotics are driving the intelligent upgrading of the agriculture and automation industries through fruit-picking robots and soft robotics platforms, respectively.

Furthermore, cross-disciplinary innovation is also noteworthy. AllScale, a lightweight self-hosted cross-border bank, provides new financial solutions for SMEs, while MeleeMon, a competitive mobile game integrating a stablecoin staking mechanism, explores a new "game + finance" model.

Through this round of investment and incubation support, YZi Labs is deeply connecting its resources and ecosystem network to these high-potential projects.

The unveiling of this lineup not only reflects their accurate assessment of future technological trends but also demonstrates their firm commitment to driving disruptive innovation from concept to market application through capital and ecosystem empowerment.
