YZi Labs’ 24 new EASY Residency bets: which projects offer early retail interaction?
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.
