Deepcoin is set to appear at FUTUREMODE 2026 in Taipei from Sept. 4 to Sept. 6 as a Gold Sponsor, according to ABMedia. The event is the upgraded version of the former Taipei Blockchain Week and will focus on the convergence of Web3, AI and emerging technologies. During the event, Deepcoin’s Taiwan market lead, Ryan, is scheduled to speak on stage about opportunities in Taiwan, Web3 ecosystem development and industry trends. The company also plans to work with the event organizer on a badminton networking activity featuring a retired national player, well-known influencers and an undisclosed guest. Deepcoin said it will roll out an FM26 on-site badminton event contract for the first time and allow attendees to customize KOL matchups based on their preferences. The company described itself as the only platform at the event offering a dedicated badminton event contract. Separately, Deepcoin will co-host The Pengu Garden: Taipei Edition with Pudgy Penguins and 0xmedia. The company said the Taipei appearance is part of its effort to better understand the Taiwan market and deepen its Asia footprint. Deepcoin, founded in 2019, also highlighted its 2026 strategic partnership with the Argentina national football team.

YZi Labs on Aug. 25 unveiled the 24 startups selected for Season 4 of EASY Residency, its incubation program for early founders in Web3, AI and biotech. Each company will receive a $500,000 investment. In coverage of the cohort, Odaily identified nine names that already offer some form of participation path for users, ranging from points campaigns and waitlist applications to product trials and onchain deposits. The list includes Neutral Trade, Primus, Roostoo, SmartX, Alloco, XHunt, Nara, ElfomoFi and Liquorice. Among them, Neutral Trade has a live points system tied to its Autopilot Deposit campaign, while Primus has launched a Kaito Warm Up content campaign with an $8,000 reward pool. Other projects are at earlier stages, such as waitlist sign-ups, Telegram community access, browser extension usage or deposit-only product access without a points program. Odaily said the projects were ordered by the current number of tasks users can complete.

Crypto KOL Ansem laid out his basic framework for picking on-chain investment targets in a podcast, according to BlockBeats. He said the process is driven "mainly by intuition," but added that he still uses three filters when deciding what to watch. First, he looks for sectors with no clear ceiling, especially new mechanisms that have not been tried before. Second, he ignores newly listed trading pairs and prefers to let the market reveal which assets are actually attracting attention and volume. Third, he does not consider tokens with a market capitalization below $10 million. Instead, he starts paying attention once a project is already running. The comments offer a concise look at how Ansem narrows the universe of on-chain opportunities, with market traction and size acting as key thresholds alongside novelty.

Crypto KOL Ansem shared his framework for screening on-chain investment targets during a podcast appearance, laying out three rules he typically follows even though he said his decisions are driven mainly by instinct. First, he looks for new mechanisms that few or no others have tried before, with room to grow and no clearly defined ceiling. Second, he avoids newly listed trading pairs at launch and prefers to wait for the market to do the initial filtering through attention and trading volume. Third, he does not consider assets with a market capitalization below $10 million. According to Ansem, he begins paying closer attention only after a target starts to show a clear growth trend. The remarks offer a concise look at how he approaches early-stage on-chain opportunities while setting minimum thresholds for liquidity and market validation.

YZi Labs has unveiled 24 new early-stage investments from the fourth season of EASY Residency, with each company receiving $500,000 through the incubation program. In a PANews market analysis piece, columnist Lianjin Shushu sorted the list from a retail user’s perspective rather than an institutional investment one. The screening focused on three questions: whether a project has a public-facing entry point, whether current participation can leave a measurable on-chain or account record, and whether the team has introduced user incentives such as points, rewards, competitions, or referrals. Based on that framework, the article highlighted Neutral Trade, Primus, Roostoo, SmartX, and Alloco as the most notable projects for early interaction. Neutral Trade was described as the clearest case because its Neutral Autopilot already ties deposits to NT Points, including a 2x points campaign. Primus was singled out for its Kaito Warm Up Campaign, which runs from Aug. 25 to Sept. 8 with an 8,000 USDC reward pool. Roostoo, while not yet offering a confirmed token or point system, has opened waitlist, mock trading, and competition features that could make user activity easy to track. The analysis also noted that Nara, ElfomoFi, Liquorice, and XHunt are already usable but do not currently show clear point or airdrop structures. The author closed with a caution that points do not guarantee a token, and YZi Labs’ investment does not mean an airdrop is assured.

Odaily’s Aug. 27 roundup highlighted three crypto interaction opportunities: Flop Labs, TermiX, and Rialo. Flop Labs, a project publicly reintroduced by BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes on Aug. 18 via X, describes itself as a native monetary network for the AI agent economy rather than an agent platform or a pure compute network. Hayes previously said the project has no presale, no VC backing, and a 100% fair launch model, with a large-scale airdrop planned for the fourth quarter of 2026. The project’s newly released tokenomics allocate 20.4% of total supply to airdrops, and users can now apply for validator status through a multi-step process involving Codex, DID registration, an X post, and a form on the official website. TermiX, an AI-native dApp framework for developers and a selected winner in Binance’s Season 9 MVB accelerator, has launched a points system tied to social tasks and agent registration. Rialo, developed by Subzero Labs, opened its own points system on Aug. 22 after previously announcing a $20 million seed round in August 2025 led by Pantera Capital with participation from Variant and Coinbase Ventures, among others.

Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, widely known as CZ, appeared at an offline Hong Kong meet-and-greet for the book Binance Life on Aug. 27, according to BlockBeats, which cited crypto KOL Kunlunxing. The event was framed as a reader gathering around the book, and CZ was said to have sold copies in person at a booth. Kunlunxing said Zhao chatted directly with buyers at the venue and told attendees that payment in either Hong Kong dollars or Chinese yuan was accepted. He was also described as interacting closely with readers throughout the event and replying with 「谢谢惠顾」, or "thank you for your purchase." Separate from the book event, CZ is also scheduled to appear at the Bitcoin Asia 2026 conference later the same day. According to the information cited by BlockBeats, he is set for a 15:00 to 15:30 interview session focused on "The Bitcoin Century." The report did not provide additional details about the session beyond its timing and topic.
