Built By YZi Labs

The Connection

For years, we backed the projects that built the ecosystem.
Now we extend that support to the communities that grow it.

Binance Labs, now YZi Labs, has long operated on a simple thesis: the projects that shape Web3 deserve structural support, not one-time handouts. That same philosophy now extends beyond startups.

Since 2018

Backed 285+ projects across DeFi, infrastructure, gaming and Web3 tooling.

Today

Extending allocation access to the community owners who help these ecosystems reach their audiences.

Contributor Program

Selected Telegram and X community owners gain structured allocation access with weekly distributions.

The Opportunity

Why this is different from every other community program.

A private contributor network

Access is by invitation and application only. There are no public sign-up links, no referral codes and no commission tiers. Participants are selected based on community reach, relevance and long-term alignment.

Weekly distributions from day one

Once your Starter Allocation is activated, it begins generating weekly distributions immediately. No waiting period, no minimum threshold before the first unlock.

Allocation access that expands over time

Additional allocations become available as your contribution to the ecosystem grows. Each new allocation operates independently and adds to what was already running — nothing is replaced.

Not a promotion. Not a campaign.

Traditional ambassador programs offer one-time payments or short-term commissions. This program is structured around long-term participation with a capital allocation model that distributes weekly — consistently.

Allocation Model

Allocations stack.
Nothing is replaced.

This is the most important aspect of the program. 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.

Cumulative by design. A contributor with access to all three tiers has three independent allocation positions — each generating weekly distributions — for a combined active allocation of $13,000.

Activated on approval

Program Structure

What you need to know before applying.

01

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.

02

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.

03

Expanding access is earned, not automatic

Access to Contributor and Partner allocation tiers is not guaranteed. It becomes available based on demonstrated, consistent contribution to the ecosystem over time. There is no timeline or specific threshold formula.

04

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.
