On August 25, YZi Labs officially announced the selected projects for Season 4 of the EASY Residency program. As its flagship incubation program for early-stage founders in Web3, AI, and biotech, a total of 24 early-stage companies were selected this season, each receiving $500,000 in investment.
YZi Labs stated that the Season 4 lineup reflects its outlook on global payments, on-chain markets, and "agentic finance": more programmable, more localized, more compliance-focused, and truly embedded into everyday financial processes.
Below, Odaily Planet Daily has selected 9 projects from the 24 selected this season that currently have clear participation entry points, positioning for potential airdrops (projects are ordered from highest to lowest number of currently available interactive tasks).
Neutral Trade: Points System Live
Project Overview
Official X Account: https://x.com/TradeNeutral
Neutral Trade is an on-chain quantitative strategy marketplace that puts professional trading strategies on-chain, connecting capital allocators with experienced traders. It turns systematic strategies previously available only to major hedge funds — market-neutral arbitrage, funding rate capture, cross-exchange arbitrage, mid-frequency market making, volatility arbitrage, CTA, etc. — 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.

Currently, Neutral Autopilot's TVL stands at $3.78 million, with deposit rewards of 11.5% deposit APY + 2x POINTS.
Primus:Kaito Warm Up Campaign Ongoing
Project Overview
Official X Account: https://x.com/primus_labs
Primus is a cryptographic infrastructure project for institutional-grade on-chain financial scenarios, focusing on data privacy, authenticity verification, and compliance issues in public blockchain environments. Its core technologies include zkTLS and zkFHE: the former verifies the authenticity of off-chain web pages, exchanges, and other external data, while the latter supports financial operations such as transfers and interest accrual in an encrypted state.
On February 21, 2025, Primus announced the completion of a $6.5 million Pre-seed + Seed funding round, with investors including VanEck, Dispersion, Symbolic, and others.
Interaction Guide
On August 25, Primus announced a partnership with Kaito to launch the Primus Warm Up "social mining" campaign (link: https://kaito.ai/studio/camp_b508d8653e4e), with a reward pool of $8,000. Participants create original content around Primus, privacy finance, and Confidential Vault, with final rankings based on four factors: content quality, social engagement, verification activities, and total traffic generated through referrals.
The $8,000 pool is allocated to the top 10 creators:
- Ranked 1st to 2nd: $1,500 each;
- Ranked 3rd to 5th: $1,000 each;
- Ranked 6th to 10th: $400 each.

Roostoo is a training and screening platform for AI trading agents, originating from university crypto simulated trading scenarios. Through real-time market data and competition mechanisms, the platform allows human traders and AI Agents to test strategies in the same environment, continuously screening for better-performing models.
Currently, Roostoo is building a reinforcement learning Agent factory, training quantitative models covering crypto perpetuals, equities, commodities, and forex markets. Top-performing agents validated in live trading environments can later be deployed to DEXs, on-chain vaults, and other scenarios, becoming part of automated trading and asset management strategies.

It is understood that SmartX previously ran a USDC + Points trading campaign, but the previous round has ended, and users now need to wait for the next round of points activities.
On August 25, SmartX announced that its new website is live (link: https://smartx.io/), but it is currently in the "Coming soon" phase. The application will officially launch next month — stay tuned for the opening time (an invite code is currently required for access).
Alloco: Join Official TG Channel to Watch for Early Whitelist Applications
Project Overview
Official X Account: https://x.com/alloco_fi
Alloco is an on-chain ETF issuance platform focused on packaging complex investment strategies and asset portfolios into on-chain products that everyday users can directly purchase. The platform wraps exposure to hedge fund holdings, public figures' investment portfolios, thematic asset baskets, systematic strategies, and Pre-IPO assets into ETF-like tokenized products called ETFTs, which users can subscribe to with USDC.
Interaction Guide
Core products like GAIN and ETFT are still in the "Coming Soon" phase. For now, you can join the official TG channel (link: https://t.me/alloco_fi) to watch for early whitelist applications.
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 projects, primarily analyzing content distribution, engagement quality, and genuine contributions on X to determine how much actual influence a creator holds — rather than just surface metrics like follower counts or likes.
Building on this, XHunt helps projects identify more suitable KOLs and improve marketing campaign efficiency on one hand, while also helping creators quantify their influence and unlock commercial opportunities on the other.
Interaction Guide
Download the Google extension (link: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/xhunt-%E2%80%93-your-ai-co-pilot/gonmfafjcdkngkbhcpmcphlgfhabkeji), connect your X account, and actually use the Creator/KOL data features. However, the points system has not yet been launched.
Nara: No Points System Yet; PayFi Product Launching in September
Project Overview
Official X Account: https://x.com/nara_usd
Nara is a PayFi digital dollar protocol for stablecoin payment scenarios, with its core mission being to provide payment companies with 24/7, on-demand short-term liquidity support. For the ultra-short-term capital advance needs common in cross-border payments and settlement operations, Nara aims to transform them into programmable on-chain credit services, improving capital turnover efficiency.
At the same time, Nara aggregates the financing premiums paid by payment companies into NaraUSD, providing on-chain users with USD-denominated yield-bearing assets.
Interaction Guide
Visit the project's official website (link: https://www.nara.io/). TVL is currently nearly $10 million. Available actions include swapping NaraUSD, staking NaraUSD, holding NaraUSD+, and providing NaraUSD/USDC LP. However, no points campaign has been announced yet — you can wait for the PayFi product launching in September or pair it with future 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, employing a Hybrid Prop-AMM model to bring tighter quotes and more efficient liquidity from CEXs on-chain. Its underlying infrastructure is powered by professional market makers providing pricing and liquidity, which can then be distributed to major DEX aggregators and Solvers to serve on-chain trading demand.
Interaction Guide
Currently, you can participate in curated Prop-AMM vaults (link: https://elfomo.fi/), but the points system has not yet been launched.
Liquorice: Deposits Available, 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 solving the problem of large amounts of capital being locked up in advance during market-making operations. In certain on-chain trades, multiple market makers compete to provide quotes to users. In the traditional model, significant assets need to be pre-positioned across different wallets, whereas Liquorice allows market makers to borrow the required assets instantly from a shared liquidity pool only when they win an order and need to settle, thereby improving capital efficiency.
Interaction Guide
Visit the project's official website (link: https://app.liquorice.tech/), click "Supply" to make a deposit. However, the points system has not yet been launched.
