In Conclusion
After reviewing these 15 projects from EASY S1, the biggest takeaway is that time is the best touchstone.
Although everyone has impressive backgrounds: top schools, prestigious company experiences, and leading VCs are abundant. In a short time, significant differences have already emerged:
Some have been listed on Binance spot with the endorsement of @yzilabs, 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 achieving Top 10 Finalist at ETHGlobal Buenos Aires 2025.
Others are facing challenges.
The entrepreneurial journey is fraught with peril; having resources and accolades does not guarantee entry into 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 monitor every step of these builders.
