In Conclusion

After reviewing these 15 projects from EASY S1, the biggest takeaway is: time is the best touchstone.

Although everyone has impressive backgrounds: top schools, prestigious company experiences, leading VCs, they are all abundant. In a short time, significant differences have already emerged:

Some, backed by @yzilabs, have already been listed on Binance spot, such as @APROOracle.

Some have secured tens of millions in funding, such as @VideoTutor_io.

Some have made significant progress, such as @StableStock nearing completion of a strategic round, and @MeetHubble winning ETHGlobal Buenos Aires 2025 Top 10 Finalist;

And some are facing challenges.

The entrepreneurial journey is fraught with peril; having resources and accolades does not guarantee access to the vault.

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