Reviewing these 15 projects from EASY S1, the biggest takeaway is: time is the best test of value.

Despite impressive backgrounds—top schools, big company experience, leading VCs—there are already significant differences in a short period:

Some, backed by @yzi_labs, are listed on Binance Spot, e.g., @APRO_Oracle

Some have secured tens of millions in funding, e.g., @VideoTutor_io

Some have made major progress, e.g., @StableStock approaching a strategic round, @MeetHubble becoming a Top 10 Finalist at ETHGlobal Buenos Aires 2025;

And some face challenges.

The entrepreneurial journey is a life-and-death battle; holding resources and halos doesn’t guarantee safety.

The best time to plant a tree was ten years ago; the second best is now. The fruits of S1 are ripening, and the seeds of S2 have just sprouted. We will continue to follow every step of these builders.
