YZi Labs, formerly known as Binance Labs, has launched a massive $1 billion Builder Fund to accelerate innovation within the BNB Ecosystem. This strategic move is aimed at empowering founders building on the BNB Chain, offering them not only funding but also the resources needed to scale their projects.
The fund is designed to support various sectors, including DeFi (Decentralized Finance), AI (Artificial Intelligence), RWA (Real-World Assets), DeSci (Decentralized Science), wallet infrastructure, and crypto payment systems.
What Founders Can Expect
The Builder Fund offers much more than capital. Startups and builders will gain access to essential development tools, integration opportunities, and the wider BNB ecosystem, which reaches over 460 million users globally.
This initiative highlights YZi Labs’ commitment to nurturing early-stage innovation while scaling existing projects across the blockchain space. By focusing on builders and providing them with comprehensive support, YZi Labs aims to solidify BNB Chain’s position as a top-tier blockchain network.
Strategic Vision and Ecosystem Growth
The rebranding of Binance Labs to YZi Labs marks a shift in strategy—moving from incubation to full-scale ecosystem development. With the BNB Ecosystem Builder Fund, YZi Labs intends to drive technological advancement and foster decentralization through real-world use cases and next-gen blockchain applications.
This fund reinforces BNB Chain’s role in shaping the future of Web3. The message is clear: YZi Labs is betting big on builders, and the future of the BNB Ecosystem looks brighter than ever.
