YZi Labs announced on December 3rd that the 17 startups accepted into the EASY Residency Season 2 program.

The list covers a wide range of technologies, from financial infrastructure and robotic automation to gene therapies and crypto liquidity.
A Flood of Investment in the Binance Ecosystem
This season of the program clearly highlights what YZi Labs identifies as the three key drivers of the next decade: blockchain transforming global capital flows; AI-enhanced productivity and decision-making; and biotechnology's potential to create longer and healthier lives. The 17 selected startups are developing scalable technologies that align with these three drivers.
Some of the projects on the list place a strong emphasis on Web3 infrastructure. 42.space is creating a new asset class for prediction markets by tokenizing real-world events. Sats Terminal focuses on Bitcoin-based liquidity and credit solutions, while Saturn Labs is developing a stablecoin offering real returns backed by the Bitcoin lending market. Predict.fun, meanwhile, is leveraging prediction markets with DeFi liquidity, offering a new model where users can both earn returns and participate in events. Hertzflow is attracting attention with its permissionless leverage infrastructure, aiming to bring the large user base of traditional derivatives markets onto the chain. Help.fun is designing fair, bot-proof token launches for civil society organizations.
Startups in artificial intelligence and robotics are also prominent. 4D Labs is developing a scalable 3D data infrastructure to feed spatial intelligence models. AgriDynamics is addressing the labor crisis in the agricultural sector with autonomous fruit-picking robots that reduce harvesting costs. Trellis Robotics is opening a new chapter in industrial automation with its soft robotics platform capable of inspecting narrow and risky industrial spaces. Manifolds offers new visual production tools for both e-commerce and AI applications with its controllable 3D location-based video production.
On the biotechnology side, Advent is reducing the timeframe for gene therapy from weeks to days with its AI-driven platform that accelerates AAV discovery. Neomera BioLab is developing a biology-focused drug discovery infrastructure with rapid testing cycles for chronic pain treatments without the risk of addiction.
Gaming and social layer startups are also on the list. Bento.fun is building a social layer that transforms everyday conversations into micro-prediction games, while MeleeMon offers a competitive mobile gaming experience backed by stablecoins. Frontrun is positioned as a fast-discovery, transaction-focused wallet for professional traders. FingerDance provides accessibility to deaf communities with its AI infrastructure that provides sign language translation.
