In conclusion

After reviewing the 15 projects of EASY S1, the biggest takeaway is that time is the best test.

Although everyone has impressive backgrounds: top schools, prestigious company experience, leading VCs—the differences are already significant in a short period of time.

Some, backed by @yzi_labs , have already been listed on Binance spot, such as @APRO_Oracle.

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

Some have made significant progress, such as @StableStock, which is about to complete its strategic round, and @MeetHubble, which won the ETHGlobal Buenos Aires 2025 Top 10 Finalist award.

Some, however, face challenges.

The road to entrepreneurship is fraught with peril, and even with resources and prestige, one is not guaranteed a safe haven.

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