This morning Beijing time, @YZiLabs officially announced the complete lineup of graduates from EASY Residency Season 3. This session of the incubator concluded at the Demo Day at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California. The direction of this season is clearer than any previous ones: reconstruct the on-chain financial market structure and make AI a native participant in the financial system.
In the past few years, Crypto AI was more about the "chatbot + token narrative" phase.
But this season of EASY S3 has a clear change: AI is starting to truly own identities, wallets, and assets, existing as a native participant in the financial system.
In a sense, this season is not about incubating "tools." It is building the on-chain financial infrastructure for the Agent era.
1. AI and Agent Infrastructure
This season's AI projects are no longer just dialog boxes, but Agent infrastructure that possesses identities, wallets, and decision-making capabilities.
Bank of AI @BAI_AGI official Twitter XHunt ranking: 14384
【Core】: On-chain accounts and payment infrastructure for AI Agents.
Bank of AI is building on-chain accounts and payment infrastructure for AI Agents. It is not just acting as an AI relay station but is building infrastructure around the payment, identity, and DeFi interactions of AI Agents on-chain, covering modules such as x402 Payments, on-chain AI identity, and Autonomous DeFi, enabling AI Agents to have verifiable identities, initiate on-chain payments, and participate in DeFi operations.
Brief Tech（brieftech.ai）
【Core】: AI infrastructure embedded in high-value legal workflows in vertical fields.
BriefTech is a LegalTech AI project primarily serving lawyers, dispute resolution teams, and legal professionals for automating bundling, AI-powered indexing, and legal document organization. The highlight of the project is that as a vertical AI application, it is directly embedded in high-ticket, high-barrier legal workflows, addressing the high-frequency, time-consuming, repetitive document processing issues in the traditional legal industry.
Cournot @CournotProtocol
【Core】: Transforming AI probabilistic outputs into verifiable reasoning through "truth discovery."
Cournot addresses a fundamental flaw of AI: model outputs are probabilistic and cannot self-justify the reasoning process, nor carry trust and capital in high-stakes decisions. Cournot's solution is to coordinate multiple agents to perform "truth discovery," transforming AI conclusions into auditable structured statements for verifiable reasoning. Predictive markets, on-chain governance, and scientific discovery require a adjudication layer that can replace "committee guessing" with verifiable reasoning. When AI begins to participate in predictive markets, governance, and on-chain decision-making, "AI's word must also be verified."
Functor @FunctorNetwork official Twitter XHunt ranking: 195698
【Core】: Building a programmable security boundary authorization layer for Agent on-chain actions.
What happens after the Agent receives authorization? The real issue is, once Agents can operate wallets, who limits how much they can spend, which contracts they can call, and how to stop losses after errors? Functor provides a self-custodial authorization layer for Agents: every signature must pass pre-defined on-chain authorization rules. It is not a wallet, but a programmable security boundary between Agent actions and fund security, with integration across asset management, predictive markets, and automated DeFi Agent workflows.
Taco AI @TacoTradeX official Twitter XHunt ranking: 165910
【Core】: An AI trading execution entry with decoupled architecture of brain, memory, and vault.
Taco AI's positioning is to serve as an AI-driven crypto trading execution layer, with the slogan "Run Crypto with AI, the Easy Way." It allows users to bypass complex self-custody and cloud infrastructure, directly using AI Agents for trading, prediction, and automation. Taco's architecture decouples the brain, sandbox, vault, and memory, solving security issues during Agent execution and preventing "memory loss" in every interaction. If Bank of AI is the account layer and Functor is the authorization layer, then Taco AI is more like the Agent execution entry on the user side.
2. On-chain Finance
This track is native-izing the mature building blocks of TradFi (large brokering, fixed rates, unified margin). When primitives like volatility, fixed rates, and large brokering are in place, institutional capital and AI automated strategies can truly enter at scale.
LayerV
【Core】: Bringing the trillion-dollar "volatility market" of TradFi on-chain.
In recent years, the vast majority of DeFi users have only traded "direction"—up or down. But in TradFi, the real massive market is "volatility" itself. LayerV aims to bring this long-missing volatility market on-chain. Its goal is to present the substantial volatility market from TradFi to retail and professional users in a simpler, more liquid, and on-chain accessible manner. This is one of the corners in DeFi currently with the highest barriers and least developed products.
MARGIN X
【Core】: Constructing a decentralized large brokering liquidity market.
MARGIN X is not just another ordinary perpetual DEX; it is an on-chain large brokering layer aimed at the BNB Chain ecosystem. In past years, a rarely discussed issue in on-chain market-making has been: large amounts of market-making inventory actually rely on over-the-counter, non-transparent token lending. MARGIN X aims to native-ize this "large brokering" model on-chain, replacing this OTC mode with transparent, composable on-chain large brokering. The project allows tokens to be deposited for yield, while market makers and traders borrow inventory on demand, integrating both hedging paths into a single transparent desktop platform.
TermMax @TermMaxFi official Twitter XHunt ranking: 22952
【Core】: Providing fixed-rate infrastructure for institutional digital assets.
TermMax is a fixed-rate DeFi lending protocol aimed at users looking to lock in borrowing costs or yields. Its significance lies in bringing the fundamental primitive of fixed rates from traditional finance into on-chain lending scenarios, laying the groundwork for more mature institutional participation.
Möbius @MobiusExchange
【Core】: Creating a unified margin layer for on-chain finance.
Möbius is about one thing: native-izing the unified margin structure that created a trillion-dollar large brokering industry in TradFi on-chain. Users can participate in lending, perpetual contract trading, and DeFi strategy deployment through a self-custodial credit account. It aims to solve the issue of collateral being dispersed across different platforms, where overall risk is manageable yet local entities face forced liquidations.
LunarBase @lunarbasex
【Core】: Introducing professional market-making strategies (Prop AMM) to enhance liquidity quote efficiency and order absorption capacity on EVM chains.
LunarBase addresses a direct issue: the gap in liquidity quality on EVM chains compared to CEX leads to high slippage in large trades and low market-making efficiency. Its solution is to bring Prop AMM, a more professional and market-making strategy-closer liquidity mechanism, to EVM to enhance quote efficiency and order absorption capacity.
Orbswap @0xorbSwap
【Core】: Enhancing capital efficiency of fragmented stablecoins through N-dimensional AMM structure.
Fragmentation of stablecoins is deepening at all levels, from issuers to chains to jurisdictions; the real problem is that the more stablecoins there are, the more fragmented the liquidity becomes. Orbswap employs an N-dimensional AMM to put various stablecoins in the same pool, achieving lower friction exchanges. For traders, wallets, and protocols frequently switching between different stablecoins, this structure significantly enhances capital efficiency.
3. Trading Execution
Trading execution is no longer just about "buy and sell," but has evolved into a millisecond-level comprehensive competition of "information acquisition, leveraged gaming, and risk hedging." The inclusion of AI enables ordinary users to access professional-level, structured yield models.
Nemesis @Nemesisdottrade official Twitter XHunt ranking: 51669
【Core】: A permissionless on-chain leveraged trading protocol supporting any asset with up to 20x leverage.
Nemesis features a permissionless on-chain leveraged trading protocol. Its innovative Omni-directional Market Maker (OMM) allows for simultaneous swaps, leveraged long/short trades, and liquidity provisioning in a unified liquidity pool, thus supporting up to 20x leveraged trading of any on-chain token. This is not just about providing leverage for small tokens, but more importantly, OMM creates a whole new, organic, and significantly superior source of on-chain returns for LPs.
L7 @TradeOnL7
【Core】: A mobile-first, Agent-oriented full-market trading terminal and capital acquisition platform.
L7 is a mobile-first, Agent-oriented capital acquisition platform. It is not a simple perpetual exchange but a full-market trading terminal across perpetual contracts, prediction markets, tokenized stocks, yield products, and RWAs. It is more like turning "trading capability" into an asset that can be allocated capital. Traders convert their skills into funded accounts here, while capital providers obtain returns through assessment fees and profit sharing.
Newsliquid @newsliquidX official Twitter XHunt ranking: 9427
【Core】: Event-driven AI trading turning market events directly into executable orders.
While most traders still rely on manual refreshing and news watching, AI has begun compressing "information advantages" into millisecond execution advantages. It aims to condense "news understanding → market impact judgment → trading execution" into the same automated link. Its AI model delves into each news event, locking onto target assets, reading charts, understanding order books, and then providing executable trading decisions.
【Core】: Transforming complex structured derivatives into a minimal trading experience mobile application.
Vibe.fun aims to make the still immature structured derivatives in DeFi more intuitive. It revolves around barrier options, interval accumulation, path-dependent returns, and other TradFi structured primitives, attempting to create a more accessible trading experience for complex products using mobile-first, no-clearing, ultra-short cycles.
4. Predictive Markets
Predictive markets are expanding from "election betting" to a broader experimental space for financializing information, where market trading is no longer just results, but "who obtains real information first."
Polysights @Polysights
【Core】: Infrastructure layer providing automated intelligence and trading tools for predictive markets.
Predictive markets are transitioning from niche tools to meaningful new asset classes; Polysights provides the underlying infrastructure layer for this market, offering automation, intelligence, and tools. It aggregates and analyzes data from Polymarket, generating probability calculations and trading signals to help users transform predictive markets from pure gambling into data-driven decision-making environments. This is a typical "gold rush selling water" logic: as trading volume in predictive markets expands, the value of infrastructure providers grows compoundly.
PokerFi @Pokerfi_gg
【Core】: Transforming game outcomes into tradable options in an on-chain skill game market.
PokerFi brings poker to the chain with an entirely new primitive: each card from every hand is a tradable equity certificate, and the entire game is cryptographically settled by ZK and Merkle trees. It is not merely a game project, but a skill game options market that turns game outcomes into tradable, hedgeable financial products.
5. RWA and Stablecoins
RWA is pushing into deeper waters. Whether it is compliant stablecoins for the Middle East market, Pre-IPO stocks, or collectibles, the core lies in "liquidity release under compliance."
Isaac @getusdi 【Core】: Establishing a dollar banking track serving the global Muslim market. Isaac aims to create a dollar banking track that serves the global Muslim market, with its most core differentiation being the USD-i stablecoin with zero interest. It does not simply overlay an interface on existing stablecoins but controls the issuance of underlying currency tools itself, thus building a full-stack compliant financial system from stablecoins, savings to payments.
Openstocks @openstocks_hq 【Core】: Creating a platform for Pre-IPO stablecoins, trading, and yields. Openstocks transforms Pre-IPO stocks, which have been locked due to poor liquidity, into yield-generating tokenized assets. Compliance aspects are addressed through a Cayman offshore structure, while the asset side anchors real Pre-IPO collateral 1:1 and has a dedicated risk engine to monitor liquidation and collateral ratios.
Renaiss @renaissxyz official Twitter XHunt ranking: 9464 【Core】: Providing transparent valuation and global circulation channels for the global physical collectibles market. Renaiss targets a more consumer-oriented and deeper RWA track. The $500 billion physical collectibles market has long faced issues of poor liquidity, opaque valuation, and difficulties in rights and custody. Renaiss attempts to achieve true circulation for non-standard assets like trendy toys, cards, and artworks through on-chain settlement, authenticity verification, source tracing, and global market access.
6. Privacy and Compliance
Privacy is no longer the enemy of compliance but the prerequisite for institutionalized entry. Accountable Privacy will be the standard for large on-chain transactions in the future.
SilentSwap @SilentSwap official Twitter XHunt ranking: 92229
【Core】: Cross-chain Swap that balances privacy, compliance requirements, and non-custodial conditions.
SilentSwap is a non-custodial, compliance-oriented cross-chain privacy Swap that finds a more usable balance between the three often contradictory conditions of privacy, compliance requirements, and non-custody. It is similar to 0xBow's direction but emphasizes non-custodial privacy and cross-chain exchange experiences during the trading process.
0xBow @0xbowio official Twitter XHunt ranking: 9488
【Core】: Implementing compatible coexistence of privacy trading and fund compliance self-evidence through Privacy Pools.
In the crypto world, privacy and compliance have long been seen as opposites. The Privacy Pools architecture of 0xBow is created to prove that both can coexist. It allows users to conduct private transactions while retaining mechanisms for legitimate participants to self-verify the legitimacy of their fund sources. As privacy infrastructure shifts from "absolute anonymity" to "accountable privacy," 0xBow serves as a benchmark example.
7. Social Finance
When social signals can trigger on-chain executions directly, and token launches can be "programmatically" designed, Web3 social truly begins to unleash its unique financial explosive power.
Dapital @trydapital
【Core】: A DeFi trading experience that seamlessly integrates social signals with on-chain executions.
Many people's first awareness of an asset often comes not from research reports, but from seeing discussions in the community. Dapital aims to turn this kind of social discovery directly into a native DeFi trading experience. Social signals and on-chain executions are integrated into the same product, allowing viewpoints, discussions, following, and combinations to occur within a financially-inclined social network, truly transforming information flow into capital flow.
Flap @flapdotsh official Twitter XHunt ranking: 9231
【Core】: A "programmable" token launch platform that supports community incentives and subsequent operations.
Flap is positioned as a programmable token launch infrastructure, allowing creators, communities, and project parties to issue, trade, and operate their tokens more flexibly. Flap emphasizes programmable launches: after token issuance, more complex designs can be made around community incentives, trading mechanisms, creator earnings, and subsequent operations. If pump-type products minimize the barrier for token issuance, Flap explores how to ensure the long-term operational relationship between tokens and communities post-issuance.
GEMINT @GEMINT
【Core】: Restructuring the trading format of traditional collectible card games (TCGs) with on-chain settlement.
Trading card games (TCGs) represent a sizable market but have long relied on logistics and trust at the underlying level. GEMINT uses on-chain settlement and interactive trading formats to completely reconstruct the foundational structure of this market, aiming to bring the collectible attributes, scarcity, and trading characteristics of traditional collectible cards onto the chain. Its highlight is transforming the familiar card consumption experience for Web2 players into on-chain assets that are ownable, tradable, and combinable.
Congratulations to the 25 teams of EASY S3 for officially graduating. This cohort covers the full spectrum from Agent authorization, verifiable reasoning, options and large brokering, to fixed-rate lending, privacy pools, and programmable token launches. Many projects have already entered the verifiable product stage, with some having public data and signs of actual use.
The next phase of on-chain finance, autonomous AI, and tokenized assets is being constructed by these founders.
