If you're keeping an eye on the evolving world of blockchain and meme tokens, there's some exciting news coming out of YZi Labs. The investment firm, formerly known as Binance Labs, just announced via a thread on X that they're teaming up with BNB Chain to host the EASY Residency Season 2 Demo Day at Binance Blockchain Week in Dubai. This event is set for December 3, and it's shaping up to be a hub for innovative projects in Web3, AI, and biotech.

The thread, posted by @yzilabs, highlights that 19 founders will pitch their ideas, including those from BNB Chain's Most Valuable Builder (MVB) program. For those new to this, MVB is an accelerator that supports builders on BNB Chain, which is famous for its low fees and fast transactions—perfect for launching meme tokens. While the focus spans broader categories like DeFi, stablecoins, AI-driven tools, and even gene therapy in biotech, the Web3 angle opens doors for meme token enthusiasts. BNB Chain has been a launchpad for countless memecoins, so events like this could provide meme creators with mentorship, funding, and networking to scale their projects beyond viral hype.

The demo day kicks off with welcome remarks from big names like CZ (@cz_binance), who's jokingly referred to as YZi Labs' "intern," and Yi He (@heyibinance), a key figure in the Binance ecosystem. This isn't just a pitch session; it's a chance to connect with top investors and partners all under one roof. If you're interested in attending, you can register here.

Right after the demo day, YZi Labs is throwing their Annual Alumni Party. This invite-only gathering brings together over 300 portfolio founders, investors, and ecosystem partners for networking, good vibes, and a community Q&A with Yi He. It's described as a private evening in Dubai with music and idea-sparking conversations. Spots are limited, so if you're eligible, RSVP now to get approved.

EASY Residency itself is YZi Labs' flagship program, now in its second season, designed to back early-stage ventures with strong fundamentals. Backed by a $1 billion Builder Fund, it offers up to $500K in funding, global mentorship, and integration with BNB Chain's tools. For meme token builders, this could mean accessing resources to build more sustainable projects—think integrating AI for community engagement or biotech twists for unique narratives. Although meme coins have seen a dip in market dominance this year, dropping to about 5.67% share, programs like this signal a shift toward more innovative, tech-backed memecoins.

YZi Labs' portfolio is massive, spanning DeFi, blockchain infrastructure, and more, with investments in top coins like those listed on CoinGecko's YZi Labs category. While not exclusively focused on memes, the firm's emphasis on Web3 makes it relevant for anyone in the space. If you're a blockchain practitioner looking to level up, keeping tabs on events like this can provide valuable insights into where the industry is heading.
