YZi Labs Launches $1 Billion Fund to Support Projects in the BNB Ecosystem

According to the announcement, the goal of the program is to attract new founders and strengthen the long-term growth of the BNB ecosystem. Participants will be able to leverage BNB Chain’s infrastructure, known for its high transaction speed and low fees, as well as gain access to tools and an audience of more than 460 million users.

Network Growth and Technical Achievements

The announcement coincided with the growing performance of BNB Chain. According to the company, the network processes around 26 million transactions per day, ranks first among decentralized exchanges by trading volume and number of active users, and its native token BNB has become the third-largest by market capitalization, exceeding $1320 at the time of writing.

The Maxwell Hardfork update, implemented in May, reduced block time to 0.75 seconds and lowered transaction fees to 0.05 Gwei. These improvements attracted new developers and users, reinforcing BNB Chain’s position as a scalable platform for financial and technological solutions.

Investments and Acceleration Programs

YZi Labs has already funded several projects within the BNB ecosystem, including PancakeSwap, ListaDAO, Aster, and Aspecta. The company has also participated in institutional initiatives such as the China Renaissance tokenized asset (RWA) fund and the BNB Yield Fund by Hash Global.

The new program expands collaboration with BNB Chain. Starting in October 2025, the Most Valuable Builder (MVB) accelerator will operate under YZi Labs’ EASY residency as a dedicated track for BNB developers. Participants will be eligible to receive up to $500.000, direct access to YZi Labs and BNB Chain teams, as well as connections with partners and investors from YZi Labs’ global network.

Focus on Developing Digital Infrastructure

Ella Zhang, CEO of YZi Labs, said the fund’s mission is to promote open systems where “decentralization and security meet real-world applications of technology.”

According to her, BNB Chain has already become a platform where the infrastructure for future financial and technological products is being built.

Applications for participation are now open.
