2025 YZi Labs Demo Day & BNBHack Demo Night - Complete Project Interpretation
In the days since returning from #BinanceBlockchainWeek, I have reviewed the selected projects for EASY Residency S2 and BNBHack, and compiled a summary for everyone to see. It feels quite valuable. On one hand, for ordinary investors, the next $ASTER may arise from these projects, which could lead to valuable discoveries. On the other hand, for project teams who want to take action and have ideas, the narratives in the crypto space are exhausted. They can also take a look at the current selection direction of Yzi Labs to find some inspiration.
👉 Besides the traditional narratives in the crypto space, this time the selected ones include: 3 in prediction markets, 3 in AI, and 2 each in life sciences and robotics.
🔶 Yesterday, I came to the first Caishen Temple in Kyoto to pray for $BNB! May it break $2000 soon 🙏
Bringing the little yellow card of BNB Chain @BNBCHAINZH, I went to the first Caishen Temple in Kyoto to worship, drew a big luck, and when I stepped out, I saw $BNB hit a new high again, how wonderful! 😆
During this time, everyone should have been making money on BSC, following Prince @EnHeng456's group car $aster and gaining multiple times, and then Aster also drove a wave of explosion in the BSC ecosystem.
Hmm, while focusing on building the BNB ecosystem, my own wealth has also reached a new height, which is a wonderful mutual achievement between the ecosystem and builders.
You can feel that now the voices of fud about the BNB ecosystem are getting less and less, while the voices of build are getting more and more. From national institutions to enterprise projects, more and more people are choosing to embrace the Binance ecosystem.
I will always hold onto $BNB at $300, I can't imagine how high this round will go!
When coming, the heaven and earth exert the same force! Brother @CZ leads everyone to rush towards the stars and the sea!
I seem to understand, River @RiverdotInc's main business is not stablecoins, its main business is pump 😂
Since the end of last year to now, River has been continuously breaking new highs, from 4u all the way up to 40u, just recently listed on HTX spot, today it doubled again.
A few weeks ago, we were all spreading rumors that $RIVER Teacher Lonely Crane @ZKSgu had already seen 80, and now it seems it might really happen 😨
👉 Currently, the 24-hour trading volume across the network exceeds 2.8 billion USD, ranking 5th, just behind mainstream coins like BTC and ETH.
$RIVER has risen by 840% since the beginning of 2026, and its market value has entered the top 100 of cryptocurrency assets.
I have to say, Old Black @CryptoHayes's vision is indeed awesome. #加密市场观察

Bullish
🧐 I didn't expect $RIVER to make such a big deal, just now @RiverdotInc officially announced the investment from the old black @CryptoHayes.
In the past few days, the price of $River has surged so much that everyone is saying the market is impressive and the mechanism is innovative. It turns out they secured a strategic investment from Hayes's @MaelstromFund.
It's rare for a project to obtain top-tier capital's strategic investment after its TGE; River is one of the few.
River is building a blockchain-abstract stablecoin system that allows value to flow freely across various ecosystems, similar to BNB Chain's $U, and this cross-ecosystem feature is especially important now that "stablecoins" are becoming increasingly popular.
Currently, $River's 7-day increase has exceeded 600%, with a total trading volume reaching 2.6 billion USD, leading all assets in 2026.
Although River has already surged significantly and even broke last year's previous high, I still do not recommend shorting. The funding rate for Binance contracts has already reached its maximum, and even if River doesn't rise, the funding rate can result in a loss of 18% of your principal.
At this time, even if you're bearish, it's not suitable to short; let's see how high River can reach this year. {future}(RIVERUSDT)
🔶 Connecting the entire lifecycle from the project 'Interaction' to 'Airdrop', 'Binance Wallet Booster' may be the most successful new airdrop model at present.
In 2024, when Binance Wallet announced its revamp at @Binance Wallet , it stated that it aimed to create the largest airdrop platform in the crypto space.
This goal has been achieved, and a mature airdrop model centered around Alpha points has now been formed.
👉 Problems that traditional airdrop models cannot solve:
1. Script accounts & studios massively inflating numbers → Real user rewards are compressed, or even not received
2. Lack of transparency in rules → Users are unclear on how to optimize input-output, airdrop rules mainly rely on guessing, often being exploited or manipulated by malicious actors
3. Cold starts often result in a one-time surge → Relying on airdrops to boost TVL / DAU, but failing to retain users and liquidity post-TGE
👉 The effective new model of Binance Wallet Booster:
1. Combination of identity and tasks:
Reward distribution relies on Binance's KYC system and task behavior, rather than merely holding or snapshots
2. Fairer to real users
By using KYC + Alpha points + task completion rates, and based on Binance's top-tier exchange risk control system, it minimizes the possibility of scripts inflating airdrops, allocating more airdrop benefits to real users
3. Accompanying projects through early participation → Full lifecycle from graduation to listing
It’s not just a simple airdrop, but allowing users to genuinely participate in the project's growth journey, from Pre-TGE to TGE, and then to ongoing development post-TGE.
-------------
In terms of results, projects that have used Binance Wallet Booster have directly accessed Binance Alpha, and are likely to be on Binance Spot, with maximum increases all exceeding 7 times.
For users, each Booster project has an average single number benefit of no less than 100u, the project has obtained real and effective TVL and users, and users have received guaranteed airdrop returns, making it a win-win situation.
😆 The group members summarized CZ's brother's AMA at Binance Square
1️⃣ It's a long-term赛道. 2️⃣ The speed difference between Meme chain scientists and ordinary retail investors is a dialectical issue. 3️⃣ $BTC can't see the top, reaching 200k is just a matter of time. 4️⃣ $BNB has huge potential, with a solid ecosystem moat. 5️⃣ Regular AMAs will be considered every few weeks. 6️⃣ Binance content avoids politics and explicit material. Binance's basic rules: do no harm to others. 7️⃣ Impact from the U.S.: legal compliance, respect for national laws. National power is very strong. 8️⃣ Advice for newcomers: not recommended to trade contracts, or use small funds for trial and error.
Brother made a million from one live stream, who hasn't joined the #BinanceSquare live stream yet?
Last: Ten thousand miles of mountains and wilderness, you are my joy hidden in the breeze 😂
Seeing Siyuan @cyodyssey's experience these past few days, even a project as pure and altruistic as this can be exploited by others using the 'Happy-Sci' name to create memes.
Since Happy-Sci is a non-public fundraising initiative, most people probably don't understand what it actually does.
👉 Now that it's being recognized in this form, it's necessary to help everyone re-understand what 'True Happy-Sci' really is.
Happy-Sci Researcher Funding: This is a purely philanthropic project initiated by Siyuan personally during his time at ABCDE Capital, and therefore has no relation to YZi Labs.
Inspired by his own PhD journey, which made him deeply aware of the loneliness and pressure of research, he wanted to offer small, unconditional grants to PhD students worldwide, bringing a little 'joy' and breathing room into their lives.
The slogan of HappySci is 'delight the journey of PhD students' — completely non-profit, no public fundraising, no token issuance.
Since 2024, to date, it has helped nearly 800 PhD students across various disciplines, with no country or academic field restrictions, covering almost every major.
Each recipient receives 200 USDT, requiring only a student ID and academic proof — no conditions attached. Transfers via @BNBCHAIN are gas-free.
200u is neither too much nor too little — just enough to buy a month of coffee or a few good meals, adding a touch of sweetness to the arduous journey of research.
During the Dubai BBW event, I had a conversation with Siyuan, and he struck me as a top-tier researcher who has transcended base interests, deeply committed to his work. His insights on many topics are profound, and one can learn a lot from him.
Happy-Sci is a long-term, non-profit fund — it has no profit motive and survives purely on passion.
If token-issuing groups continue to co-opt this fragile yet precious initiative, they not only undermine the ethos of the BSC ecosystem but also damage the integrity of public welfare projects on BSC. People should still have some dignity, right? 🤨
I agree with my cousin @cz_binance: Siyuan's decision to burn $BNB was completely justified — it severed ties with memes entirely while also advancing the deflationary process of $BNB .
The BNB that was destroyed didn't vanish in value — instead, every BNB HODLer benefits. That's a good thing.
Binance Wallet's new Booster round: Bitway is a project led by Shane Qiu, a former core member of YZilabs and early Binance Labs. I was planning to jump in immediately, but it got filled up right after launch? 😆
Bitway @BitwayOfficial is co-founded by a crypto OG and Shane Qiu, a former early core member of Binance Labs, and is incubated by YZi Labs.
The team members are all top-tier in Web3. Now that it's on Binance Wallet's Booster, it's basically free money.
Pump Pump even set an alarm for 8 a.m., but while brushing teeth, it was filled up in just 5 minutes 😂
The Binance Wallet 30% APR campaign pool has a subscription limit of 20 million USDT—clearly not enough for everyone.
👉 If you missed the opportunity, don't worry. You can still stake via the official website and earn rewards and points:
https://app.bitway.com/stake
Bitway's positioning is crucial for the Binance ecosystem—it's like the "Robinhood" of the BNB Chain ecosystem, serving as the global capital gateway for the BSC ecosystem.
For users interested in yield farming, Bitway can be seen as the "Yu'ebao" of BSC. Bitway Earn boosts yields to increase BSC's overall TVL and provides diverse yield sources, such as high-end quantitative fund products from Wall Street.
Connecting on-chain liquidity with global financial markets, integrating the strengths of CeFi, DeFi, BTCFi, and institutional-grade financial systems, Bitway is building a complete capital circulation ecosystem covering Earn, Borrow, and Pay, enabling global financial opportunities to flow on-chain with higher efficiency and transparency.
Bitway is not a short-term narrative-driven project. The team has chosen a more disciplined pace, starting with core, controllable institutional-grade asset management products, and launching its first product in collaboration with Binance, a global top-tier platform.
Led by core members of YZi Labs and incubated by YZi Labs, it's highly likely to go live on Binance spot—just like previous Booster projects.
Think bigger: as the "Robinhood + Alipay" on BNB Chain, even if you didn't get the deposit quota, you can still participate via the official website. From what I've seen, it looks secure—definitely not a scam. #加密市场观察 #币安钱包TGE
This year is still a good year to bet on Perp, but there are many Perp products on the market now. If you try them all, you'll not only lose gas fees but possibly also your principal 😂 A few days ago, I saw that Jacky @Jackyi_ld is also looking for a new team in the "Binance-level" trading赛道, so it seems worth梳理 the current Perp projects. Exactly,整理了一下目前大家在刷的 Perp 项目(有发币预期),帮大家看清每个项目背后的势力,以及项目运作情况
1、Standx @StandX_Official / Binance Futures founding team in charge Both founders AG and Justin come from the Binance Futures founding team, serving as former Binance Futures head and former Binance Futures director respectively, making them another hidden Binance Perp line besides Aster.
God Bless BSC! The Big Door has made it to CCTV, the second IP after the Life K-line to appear on CCTV 🤣
PumpP didn't intend to become a MEME influencer, but the Chinese market on BNB Chain has been incredibly strong these past few days
After #人生K线 , #大开门 has also made it to CCTV News and bought at the bottom, making me feel the golden era of Solana again
Sometimes I really wonder if the editors at CCTV News are playing front-running, the accuracy is just too high 😆
Everyone says BSC MEMEs can only revolve around CZ, the first lady, but is that really the case? #大开门 has given the answer
I believe there will be more and more diverse themes emerging on @BNBCHAIN in the future, forming a positive flywheel, and the community will drive itself
Have confidence in Chinese, have confidence in Chinese MEMEs, Chinese tickers are no less than any English MEMEs! $币安人生

😆 To keep up with your parents' pace, you still need to trade on Binance Wallet!
After #币安人生 went live on Binance Spot, it unlocked the imagination of Chinese tickers. Although "$币安人生 " hasn't seen much growth yet, other Chinese coins have become active today.
Once again, thanks to the practical features provided by Binance Wallet @BinanceWallet, the smart money signals from the Binance Wallet Web version helped PumpPump catch #Mom and #Dad and several other golden dogs right at the start.
👉 Let's quickly recap this week's on-chain performance since the beginning of the year:
The BSC front line has finally turned things around. Whenever it seems like the Chinese market is fading, a new hotspot always emerges. There's one advantage of having parents on the chain — it's just great 😂
These past few days, talking about Shandong studies feels utterly absurd. Yet some people are still building — that should be a reason to be happy. A market without buzz is lifeless, and it's no fun either.

🔶 As Binance's first HODLer project of the year, the performance of Ethereum's prince Brevis is indeed impressive
After completing Alpha on $BREV yesterday, it was directly listed on Binance spot. Although it briefly dropped to 0.31, it has now recovered after being listed on Upbit and Bithumb's KRW pairs, and will soon be listed on Coinbase
Brevis @brevis_zk, a project frequently retweeted by @VitalikButerin and backed by Yzilabs @yzilabs, is a true favorite, and its market performance also influences people's confidence in the Ethereum ecosystem
Brevis's "off-chain computation + on-chain verification" technology has broad applications in enhancing Ethereum's on-chain computing power and expanding privacy payments
Finally, Binance has a BREV trading contest where you can claim 4 million $RERV tokens. If interested, feel free to participate #加密市场观察 #brevis
🧐 Besides deposits and trading volume, Binance's Perp twin stars Standx @StandX_Official have introduced a new market-making strategy
Standx launches a simple market-making method where you earn points just by placing limit orders, providing order support to the market
👉 The number of points you earn depends on the following factors:
➤ The distance between your limit price and the market price, categorized into three Band ranges: A, B, and C. The closer to the market price, the higher the point reward
➤ Larger order amounts yield more points ➤ Longer order duration results in more points
A is too close to the market price and may be executed instantly, making it hard to benefit from the order duration. C is too far from the market price, resulting in suboptimal point weighting.
The optimal strategy is to stay in Band B. For example, with BTC, place your order around $500 above or below the market price. I recommend setting the order duration between 30 minutes and 1 hour.
Vibe Coding experts can also build their own automated market-making scripts and run them.
➤ Refer to the Standx API documentation: https://docs.standx.com/standx-api/standx-api
🧐 I didn't expect $RIVER to make such a big deal, just now @RiverdotInc officially announced the investment from the old black @CryptoHayes.
In the past few days, the price of $River has surged so much that everyone is saying the market is impressive and the mechanism is innovative. It turns out they secured a strategic investment from Hayes's @MaelstromFund.
It's rare for a project to obtain top-tier capital's strategic investment after its TGE; River is one of the few.
River is building a blockchain-abstract stablecoin system that allows value to flow freely across various ecosystems, similar to BNB Chain's $U, and this cross-ecosystem feature is especially important now that "stablecoins" are becoming increasingly popular.
Currently, $River's 7-day increase has exceeded 600%, with a total trading volume reaching 2.6 billion USD, leading all assets in 2026.
Although River has already surged significantly and even broke last year's previous high, I still do not recommend shorting. The funding rate for Binance contracts has already reached its maximum, and even if River doesn't rise, the funding rate can result in a loss of 18% of your principal.
At this time, even if you're bearish, it's not suitable to short; let's see how high River can reach this year.
A message was sent about $RIVER a year ago, back when the S3 creator airdrop was open, and now it's been a week, increasing by 7 times, it turns out it was really something 😆
Let’s review the recent operations done on @RiverdotInc, mainly exchanging part of $River for $RiverPts when it was at 16 dollars, along with the S3 airdrop portion, and staked them together.
👉 The logic behind the operation is: betting on the exchange rate of RiverPts against the River native currency to recover, meaning River drops, or RiverPts rises.
In the past few days, the contract short interest rate for River has been maxed out, with 1-hour settlements, so even if you are bearish, the cost-effectiveness of going short is very low, exchanging for Pts is the best choice.
So far, the results look good; after #River peaked, Pts has also risen by nearly 60%. If staked, the returns would be even higher (currently, the Pts staking event has ended).
Understanding the mechanism and keeping up with the rhythm is very important. As for the strong coins that played the mechanism most extravagantly last year, it seems like they'll continue to make moves this year; everyone may have forgotten that @River4fun is still in the stablecoin track, so keep an eye on the follow-up.
The first shocking event of this year is definitely the U.S. military's dozens of fighter jets, taking down the Venezuelan president in an hour without a single casualty.
Several insider addresses on Polymarket have also emerged, betting on multiple events surrounding the Maduro incident in advance:
➤ Will the U.S. carry out military action against Venezuela? ➤ Will Maduro step down before the end of January?
Currently, the three addresses have a total profit of 600,000 USD, with a return rate exceeding 1000%, believed to be insider addresses.
Although the returns are high, the profit amount is not too large. Tony the wizard said it was done by American soldiers involved in the operation, which is quite likely 😂
Previously, there were also congressmen proposing to combat insider trading in prediction markets, which seems quite difficult; is KYC required on Polymarket?
It is worth mentioning that Polymarket is now considered part of Trump's family business.
As for why this military action occurred, the direct trigger was Maduro's illegal re-election, as there were serious electoral frauds in the previous elections, and Venezuela's drug trafficking to the U.S. was also a factor.
In terms of geopolitics: Venezuela has the largest proven oil reserves in the world (300 billion barrels), and China is the largest oil buyer.
In any case, prediction markets may have already become the most profound Web3 facility linking the real world, and it is sufficiently high-frequency. This year, the predictions market is optimistic about interactions in projects like 'Prediction Market', Opinion @opinionlabsxyz, and arbitrage across prediction platforms can also be continuously pursued.
🔶 2026 Launch, New Year OOTD Outfits from Binance & Aster
Binance's merchandise quality has always been quite good, and this outfit is just right for the weather. The jacket and scarf are from Binance's New Year merchandise, and the inner short sleeve is from @Aster DEX
One hand $BNB One hand $ASTER , wishing that we can all stand undefeated this year 😆
Finally, the crypto calendar gifted by Foresight @Foresight_News can also be opened to the first page now
