Eight Web3 Frontiers EASY Residency S3 is Hunting For
Interviews for EASY Residency S3 are officially in full swing.
At YZi Labs, we build and invest at the intersection of Web3, AI, and Biotech. For this update, we are breaking down some specific Web3 opportunities that are top of mind for us right now.
We have already spoken to incredible talent, but we are hungry for more. If you are building in these eight Web3 sectors, we want to hear from you.
1. Next-Gen Oracles
We are looking for the next generation of oracles capable of verifying complex off-chain history, cross-chain data, and long-tail events without trust assumptions. These are the engines that will power permissionless micro-markets.
2. On-Chain FX & Stablecoins
As nations move toward sovereign stablecoins, the future of finance lies in robust, on-chain FX infrastructure. We need builders who are localized for national currencies and building the liquidity layers that complement the traditional forex rails.
3. Proprietary AMMs (Prop AMM)
We are hunting for bespoke AMM models that protect strategy privacy, minimize external value loss, and deliver industry-leading execution prices directly to users.
4. Traditional-Risk Crypto Insurance
We are looking for protocols extending proven underwriting models from Property & Casualty (P&C), fraudulent charges protection, and life insurance. The goal is to cover crypto payments, transactions, and associated claims with the reliability of traditional finance.
5. Sovereign Privacy Infrastructure
Privacy is the new power. We’re backing infrastructure that enables data sovereignty for nation-states, compliant RWA flows for institutions, protection of proprietary strategies for AI agents, and more.
6. Everyday DeFi Apps
Adoption requires usability. We are backing high-utility tools that bridge the gap for the average users: next-gen wallets, unified trading terminals, AI trading agents-driven bots, social/copy trading interfaces, and streamlined lending vaults, building on different ecosystems including BNB Chain, Ethereum, Solana, Base, etc.
7. Prediction Market Perps
The line between betting and trading is blurring. We’re seeking platforms that merge binary outcome markets with perpetual swaps – enabling high-leverage trading on macro, political, and real-time data events, and unlocking a new layer of market depth.
8. Exotic RWAs
We are looking for tokenization that goes beyond standard treasuries. The opportunity lies in unlocking deep utility in illiquid markets – think intellectual property, litigation finance, luxury goods, and other high-yield assets that have never before had a liquid secondary market.
Build With Us
Builders from all ecosystems are welcome. We believe great founders come from everywhere, and the only metric that truly matters is the quality of your vision and execution.
Join us in building the future.
