#termmax YZi Labs enhances TermMax’s long-term value

Many people may not know that behind @TermMax there is support from YZi Labs (formerly the Binance incubator).

YZi Labs has invested in only a limited number of DeFi projects, and TermMax receiving its backing indicates the team’s recognition of this direction.

From the data, TermMax has indeed delivered a solid performance: TVL exceeds $90 million, daily active users are nearly 100,000, and it covers 10 EVM chains. For a protocol that has been live on the mainnet for just a little over a year, this growth rate is quite impressive.

More importantly, TermMax addresses a real market need—the lack of an on-chain fixed-income market. As more institutional capital flows into DeFi, predictable interest rates will become a must-have.

With the TGE on August 25 coming up, the subsequent performance of $TMX is worth ongoing attention.

The application channel will close on September 14 at 14:59. Interested teams are advised to prepare their materials as early as possible.

#YZiLabs #EASYResidency #Web3创业

YZi Labs officially opens applications for the EASY Residency Season 5 (S5) incubation, targeting early-stage Web3 startup teams worldwide.

This edition is a 10-week acceleration program: the first 5 weeks are online courses, followed by 5 weeks of on-the-ground offline training in Thailand. Accommodation, meals, and workspace are fully covered, so founders can focus on building. The program culminates in a Demo Day for top-tier global VCs.

Selected projects can receive up to a $500,000 investment, and there is also an opportunity to secure an additional $2,000,000 in funding support from a partner token issuance platform. The application deadline is September 14 at 14:59.

This season’s key tracks:
- Programmable capital & on-chain markets
- Stablecoin payment infrastructure
- AI infrastructure & compute economics
- AI interfaces & consumer-layer applications
- AI × biotech & programmable science

Based on the track layout, YZi Labs is positioning “AI + crypto” and “stablecoin infrastructure” as its core bets for the next phase. If you’re working on projects in these areas, it’s worth paying attention.

#YZiLabs #EASYResidency #Web3 incubation

The application channel for EASY Residency Season 5 under YZi Labs has officially opened. This season will continue the classic “10-week acceleration + Demo Day finale” format: the first 5 weeks are dedicated to online courses to build solid foundations, and the next 5 weeks move to an offline program in Thailand. Lodging, meals, and office space are all fully covered, allowing founders to truly focus their energy on product iteration.

On the capital side, the top-selected projects in this season can directly receive up to USD 500,000 in investment, and can further compete for up to USD 2,000,000 in matching funds through a partner token aggregation platform. Overall, the size of the funding pool remains in the first tier among comparable incubators. The application window runs until 14:59 on September 14.

In terms of tracks, S5 clearly focuses on five key directions: programmable capital and on-chain markets, stablecoin payment infrastructure, AI infrastructure and the compute-economy, AI interfaces and the consumer layer, and the intersection of AI with biotech as well as programmable science. From these choices, it’s evident that the teams are aiming to bet on the synergistic effect of three main threads—“on-chain real-world assets + stablecoin payments + AI compute-layer infrastructure”—rather than chasing short-term meme narratives.

For Web3 and AI cross-disciplinary teams that are seeking funding, compute resources, and international exposure, this season’s time window is already fairly tight. It’s recommended to prepare your Pitch Deck and tokenomics documentation in advance, with an emphasis on “verifiable revenue” and “on-chain cash flow,” which aligns better with the selection preferences for this season.

YZi Labs is managing over $10 billion in assets and recently announced a $1 billion BNB Chain Builders Fund. When they decided to throw $10 million into Genius Terminal, I think most folks only saw the 'Binance backing,' but missed the bigger picture.

【This is ecosystem positioning, not just backing】😎
I've mapped out YZi's complete investment landscape on the BNB Chain: PancakeSwap is handling liquidity, ListaDAO focuses on yield, Aster provides ecosystem tools, and Genius Terminal fills in the final piece —— execution layer. In simple terms, YZi is intentionally building a complete stack of BNB Chain DeFi infrastructure.

【What does CZ's advisory role mean?】🔥
CZ joined the advisory board on the same day YZi announced their investment. Personally, I believe this isn't just symbolic backing; his network connects Binance's market-making system, exchange integration channels, and institutional investor communities, effectively opening up real business pipelines.

YZi Labs head Ella Zhang mentioned at Consensus Hong Kong 2026: "We focus on things that haven’t happened yet." No one has done private chain terminals before Genius Terminal.

【The significance of $GENIUS 】🔑
PancakeSwap and LiquidMesh, both invested by YZi, are also sources for traffic distribution for GeniusFi PropAMM. Ecosystem traffic, institutional capital, and the CZ pipeline are all converging on a single token, and the Burn or Earn mechanism has filtered out short-term speculators, leaving behind real users.

The $10 million seed round feels more like a strategic positioning for YZi Labs rather than just a financial calculation.

YZi Labs is opening applications for the 4th season of EASY Residency, and this time it's a bit different.

It's a 10-week program, with the first 5 weeks online and the last 5 weeks moving on-site to Gelephu Mindfulness City in Bhutan. Selected teams can secure up to $500,000 in investment, which includes $150,000 SAFE for 5% equity and an additional $350,000 SAFE with no valuation cap.

Focus areas: Web3, AI, biotech. Key sectors include stablecoin infrastructure, global payments, gig economy, and next-gen DeFi.

This signal is worth watching—top accelerators often bet on sectors where capital will funnel in over the next 12 to 18 months. The resurgence of stablecoins and global payments indicates that institutions believe this sector hasn't hit its ceiling yet.

Application deadline is 23:59 GMT-7, interested teams should take note.

Startup teams, take note of a key date: The YZi Labs flagship global incubation project EASY Residency's fourth season (S4) application deadline is June 21, 2026.

If you're working on Web3, AI, fintech, or consumer-grade crypto applications, the value of these incubation projects isn't just in the funding; it's also in the mentorship resources, industry networks, product refinement, and potential partnership opportunities. Teams interested should get their project positioning, core metrics, roadmap, and team background sorted out ahead of time—don't wait until the last minute to submit.

Early preparation gives you the chance to tell your story clearly. #YZiLabs #Web3 #startupincubation

Startup teams, pay attention to this key date: The YZi Labs flagship global incubation project EASY Residency Season 4 (S4) application deadline is June 21.

These types of incubation projects are usually not just a "funding gateway"; more importantly, they offer resources, mentors, product refinement, and a global network. If you're working on Web3 infrastructure, application layers, AI x Crypto, or consumer-grade crypto products, it's advisable to get your project positioning, team background, progress data, and future roadmap sorted out early—don’t wait until the last day to submit.

The window of opportunity is often short, and the quality of your preparation is more crucial than speed. #YZiLabs #Web3 #startupincubation

After discussing two articles on risk, I'm still keeping an eye on Genius Terminal, and here's why.

CZ joining as an advisor on January 13, 2026, wasn't just a random timing; on the same day, YZi Labs announced a $10 million investment. Ghost Orders officially launched on the BNB mainnet on May 6, and this is real code running on-chain, not just plans from a whitepaper. The cumulative trading volume has surpassed $15 billion, with 30,000 active wallets; these numbers aren't just held up by narratives.

I've seen too many projects that only have a story but no mainnet. Genius Terminal has at least reached a stage that can be validated by real data, which sets it apart from most early projects.
High risk and high potential have always been two sides of the same coin.

I'm continuing to monitor two indicators: the BEP-668 governance progress, and the final qualitative regulation from major markets on privacy tech.

⚔️ DIES IRAE → DÉTENTE: How a Former Vape Company Won a 7-Month Proxy War Against YZi Labs

The backstory reads like a crypto thriller:

CEA Industries ($BNC) — a former tobacco/vape manufacturer that somehow became the world's largest corporate BNB treasury holder — just settled its bitter governance war with YZi Labs ($10B+ venture fund, formerly Binance Labs).

🎬 The Drama Timeline:

💥Nov 2025: YZi launches a proxy contest, accusing CEA of underperforming after its $500M private placement

💥CEA retaliates: Adopts a poison pill, sues 10X Capital (their BNB treasury manager) to claw back all fees paid

💥7 months of chaos: Proxy fights, consent solicitations, lawsuits, public mudslinging

🤝 The Truce:
YZi drops all demands. In exchange, 3 board seats go to heavyweights:

💥Ella Zhang — YZi Labs Head, former Google/Tencent/Kleiner Perkins, founding Head of Binance Labs
💥Alex Odagiu — YZi Investment Partner, ex-Goldman Sachs → named Interim President
💥Matthew Roszak — Bloq Co-founder, Tally Capital Founding Partner

David Namdar stays as CEO during the transition to a new permanent CEO search.

💬 @CZ : "Good to see this finally getting to closure"

🎯 Why this matters:

This is the first time a Nasdaq-listed BNB treasury company has gone toe-to-toe with BNB's own ecosystem fund. The resolution — bringing YZi inside the boardroom instead of fighting from outside — sets a precedent for how crypto treasury companies handle activist shareholders.

With Ella Zhang, Goldman pedigree, and Bloq's co-founder on the board, $BNC now has one of the most formidable leadership benches in crypto governance.

Annual shareholder meeting: July 22, 2026. Buckle up.

CEA × YZi Labs Reconciled! Another Player in the BNB Version of MicroStrategy?

CEA Industries (BNC) and YZi Labs have been in a proxy battle for a while, but they've finally made peace. Ella Zhang, Alex Odagiu, and Matthew Roszak are officially joining the board, with Odagiu stepping in as interim president.

In short, the CZ family office has secured control over the BNB reserve company through peaceful means. The blueprint to turn CEA into the 'BNB version of MicroStrategy' has also become clearer—focusing on long-term BNB holdings without dabbling in short-term speculation.

However, detailed plans for accumulation and financing have yet to be disclosed, so don't rush in just yet. Such significant changes in governance appear bullish in the short term, but whether it’s truly worth paying attention to will depend on subsequent actions.🤔

【HertzFlow mainnet goes live—should you participate in the Genesis Vault pre-staking?】

If nothing unexpected happens, the name “HertzFlow” should show up frequently in the algorithm feeds of Chinese crypto users in the second half of the year.

First, YZi Labs’ investment and incubation implies that support for the BSC ecosystem won’t be lacking. Second, the founding team itself consists of Chinese-language opinion leaders, and their Chinese-language promotional channels are diverse.

However, KOL promotion is one thing—the actual results still need to be observed.

Based on the results from roughly the first 24 hours after the mainnet launch, only about 300 addresses have participated in deposits, with total deposits of approximately 1.5M USD (about 11% of the total deposit cap).

-

As for the reason, I believe it’s still because the incentive factors for pre-staking aren’t obvious enough.

At present, users can only know that after participating in pre-staking, if they continue to stake their assets for 90 days, they will be able to receive 10x Merits (airdrop points).

But the truly important figure—the annualized return rate—remains unknown, because it depends on factors such as how active the HertzFlow mainnet’s transaction features are and how funds flow.

Evidently, the team is aware of this. Today, the founder “Crypto Veda” published a long post addressing potential community questions, including: “Based on reference similar-model agreements, we believe that an expected 8% to 16% APY is reasonable.”

Of course, providing liquidity to Perps DEXs is nothing new, but the effectiveness of LPs’ returns is still largely tied to traders’ profitability—so it becomes a balancing act of give and take.

Another factor is timing: we’re still in a bear market. It’s hard to say how much trading appetite the market currently has that can be satisfied, or when trading volume might increase significantly. This is itself a major challenge for HertzFlow in choosing to launch at this moment.

-

Back to the question: Is it worth participating in the Genesis Vault?

Personally, I think that at the current stage, $USD1 $U whether on the exchange or on the wallet side, there’s already decent room for earnings—this is one of the reasons users may hesitate to participate in HertzFlow.

Also, based on the current scale of participation, users likely don’t need to deploy large positions just to grab early momentum—that’s more of a competitive consideration.

So I think it’s safer to treat this as a small-capital participation: put in a spot check if you want. By taking an early whitelist for upcoming trading functionality, you might even be able to secure a bit of the early advantage.

At least, they mentioned that the fee consumption before token issuance will be offset by issuing discount vouchers after the token launch.

#hertzflow #YZILabs #Airdrop

the detail that gave me pause was not the size of the raise. it was the names sharing a cap table.

the seed closed at six million dollars in october 2024 with cmcc global, ava labs, arca, flow traders, balaji srinivasan, and anthony scaramucci. that is bnb ecosystem infrastructure, the avalanche network itself, a quant desk with traditional finance roots, a regulated asset manager, and two ideologically divergent figures in the space. the six million is not the headline. the composition is.

these groups do not usually arrive from the same thesis. ava labs signals cross-chain infrastructure logic and an interest in what connects chains. flow traders signals execution quality and market microstructure depth from a quant perspective. balaji signals architectural conviction about how terminals and on-chain data will eventually converge, a different kind of bet from the other two.

that divergence in motivation is the more interesting signal. when a single ecosystem backer leads a round, you read it as internal support. when structurally competing camps converge on one name, the noise in that validation drops considerably. yzi labs then committing at a multi-eight-figure level adds weight to a direction the seed round already made legible.

if each group was optimizing for a different outcome, the product must have real surface area across more than one use case. that is either genuine cross-functional utility or a roadmap broad enough to mean something different to each investor. the distinction between those two readings matters more than it looks.

this says something about how conviction gets built in this space right now. single-ecosystem validation has become easy to engineer. cross-ecosystem convergence, especially among groups with structural reasons to compete, is harder to manufacture. what genius terminal leaves open is whether the product is genuinely where those bets intersect, or whether each group is pricing a different version of what it becomes.
