Built by YZi Labs for long-term ecosystem contributors.
Selected Telegram and X community owners receive a Starter Allocation that provides weekly distributions. As your contribution to the ecosystem deepens, additional allocations become available — each one added on top of what was already activated.

About YZi Labs
Formerly Binance Labs. One of the most active investors in Web3.
YZi Labs (formerly Binance Labs) is the venture capital and accelerator arm of Binance. Since 2018, it has backed over 285 projects across DeFi, infrastructure, gaming, and Web3 tooling — with a track record that spans the earliest stages of the most recognized protocols in the space.
The Opportunity
Why this is different from every other community program.
A private contributor network
Access is by invitation and application only. Participants are selected based on community reach, relevance and long-term alignment with the Web3 ecosystem.
Weekly distributions tied to real contribution
To receive a weekly distribution, a contributor must bring at least 3 newly connected wallets during that week via their referral link. That is the only KPI. The number of posts does not matter — even a single post can continue generating distributions as long as new wallets keep connecting through it.
10% referral bonus on investor distributions
Contributors receive 10% of the weekly distributions paid to investors who joined through their referral link. This creates an additional, passive stream of income on top of allocation distributions.
A tangible, time-limited advantage from day one.
Users who register through a partner community receive a higher weekly distribution rate of 3% instead of the standard 1.25% — for their first 4 weeks in the program. This gives your community a tangible, time-limited advantage from day one.
Allocation Model
Allocations stack. Nothing is replaced.
When a new allocation becomes available, it does not replace the previous one. Both operate independently. Each allocation generates its own weekly distributions from the moment it is activated. A contributor with access to all three tiers has three independent positions — for a combined active allocation of $13,000.

Starter Allocation
Every approved contributor begins here. This allocation is activated immediately upon joining the program and begins generating weekly distributions from week one. To receive each weekly distribution, you must bring at least 3 newly connected wallets that week via your referral link.

Weekly
~$6/week
Contributor Allocation
Unlocked after reaching 36 total connected wallets and 3 months after your Starter Allocation was issued. This allocation is independent — it generates its own weekly distributions while the Starter Allocation continues operating unchanged.

Partner Allocation
Unlocked after reaching 120 total connected wallets and 3 months after your Contributor Allocation was issued. All three allocations then operate simultaneously and independently, each generating its own weekly distributions.

Program Structure
What you need to know before applying.
Access, not ownership
Allocations are provided to contributors as part of the program structure. There is no capital requirement to participate. The program grants access — contributors do not purchase or hold the allocation capital themselves.
Weekly distributions run for 208 weeks
Each allocation operates on a 4-year (208-week) distribution schedule. Weekly unlocks run consistently from activation through the end of the cycle.
Allocation growth is measured in connected wallets
Contributor tier requires 36 total connected wallets and 3 months after the Starter Allocation was issued. Partner tier requires 120 total connected wallets and 3 months after the Contributor Allocation was issued. These thresholds are tracked separately from weekly distribution eligibility.
Previously activated allocations are never paused
Gaining access to a new allocation tier has no impact on existing active allocations. A contributor who moves from Starter to Contributor tier continues receiving distributions from the Starter Allocation without interruption.
