Original | Odaily Planet Daily ( @OdailyChina )

Author | Asher ( @Asher_0210 )

On August 25, YZi Labs officially announced the selected projects for EASY Residency Season 4. As its flagship incubation program aimed at early founders in Web3, AI, and biotechnology, this season includes 24 early-stage companies, each receiving an investment of $500,000.

YZi Labs stated that the lineup for the fourth season reflects its judgment on global payments, on-chain markets, and "agent-based finance": more programmable, more localized, more compliance-focused, and truly embedded in everyday financial processes.

Below, Odaily Planet Daily will select 9 projects from this season's 24 selected projects that currently have clear participation entry points, exploring potential airdrops (projects are listed in order of the number of currently available interactive tasks from most to least).**

It transforms systematic strategies previously available only to hedge funds—such as market-neutral arbitrage, funding rate capture, cross-exchange arbitrage, mid-frequency market making, volatility arbitrage, and CTA—into depositable vaults, allowing users to participate directly with stablecoins. According to its disclosures, it has processed over $210 million in deposits, building a structured bridge between institutional strategy design and broader market participation.

XHunt: Real Product Available, But Points System Not Yet Launched

Project Overview

Official X account: https://x.com/xhunt_ai
XHunt is an influence data platform for creators and project parties, primarily analyzing content dissemination, interaction quality, and real contributions on X to assess the actual influence of creators, rather than just looking at superficial metrics like follower counts and likes.

Based on this, XHunt helps project parties select more suitable KOLs and improve marketing efficiency, while also helping creators quantify their influence and gain business opportunities.

Interaction Approach

Download the Google extension (link: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/xhunt-%E2%80%93-your-ai-co-pilot/gonmfafjcdkngkbhcpmcphlgfhabkeji), bind X, and use the Creator/KOL data function, but the points system has not yet been launched.

Nara: Points System Not Yet Launched, Awaiting PayFi Product Launch in September

Project Overview

Official X account: https://x.com/nara_usd
Nara is a PayFi digital dollar protocol aimed at stablecoin payment scenarios, primarily providing payment companies with around-the-clock, on-demand short-term liquidity support. For common ultra-short-term funding needs in cross-border payments and settlements, Nara aims to transform these into programmable credit services on-chain, improving capital turnover efficiency.

At the same time, Nara collects the financing premiums paid by payment companies into NaraUSD, providing on-chain users with yield-bearing assets denominated in USD.

Interaction Approach

Visit the project’s official website (link: https://www.nara.io/), currently with a TVL of nearly $10 million. Available actions include swapping NaraUSD, staking NaraUSD, holding NaraUSD+, and participating in NaraUSD/USDC LP, but no points activities have been announced yet. Users can await the PayFi product set to launch in September or participate in points activities.

ElfomoFi: Can Deposit into Public Vault, But Points System Not Yet Launched

Project Overview

Official X account: https://x.com/Elfomo_Fi
ElfomoFi is an on-chain market-making protocol for the EVM ecosystem, adopting a Hybrid Prop-AMM model, aiming to bring tighter quotes and more efficient liquidity from CEX to on-chain. Its underlying pricing and liquidity are provided by professional market makers, and liquidity can be distributed to mainstream DEX aggregators and Solvers to meet on-chain trading demands.

Interaction Approach

Currently, users can participate in curated Prop-AMM vaults (link: https://elfomo.fi/), but the points system has not yet been launched.

Liquorice: Deposits Allowed, But Points System Not Yet Launched

Project Overview

Official X account: https://x.com/LiquoriceHQ
Liquorice is an on-chain protocol providing liquidity for professional market makers, primarily addressing the issue of significant capital being tied up in advance during market making. In some on-chain trades, multiple market makers compete to provide quotes for users. In the traditional model, large amounts of assets need to be prepared in advance across different wallets, while Liquorice allows market makers to borrow the required assets from a shared liquidity pool only when they successfully obtain an order and need to settle, thus improving capital efficiency.

Interaction Approach

Visit the project’s official website (link: https://app.liquorice.tech/), click "Supply" to make a deposit, but the points system has not yet been launched.
