From investment thesis to ecosystem growth, from scouting next-gen investors and founders to stablecoins going mainstream— @ellazhang516 @nina_rong @Hui_Huangg @0x_outsider unpacked it all.

The future is being built on campus.
YZi Labs is funding it.

I think people are reading opBNB wrong.

15.1M monthly active addresses sounds massive.

But when I broke down the category mix, the story got clear.

→ Games 45.2%
→ AI 31.7%
→ Social 18.5%

That's 95.4% of activity.

DeFi is only 0.4%.

The games number caught me off guard.
45.2% of active wallets coming from games on opBNB?
I thought web3 gaming was dead.

But maybe that's exactly the point.

opBNB is built for fast, cheap, low-friction actions. Perfect for simple game loops where wallets keep touching the chain.

And when the barrier is that low, farming across multiple wallets gets much easier.

So I'm not looking at this thinking web3 gaming quietly came back.

I'm looking at it and seeing wallet activity likely being inflated by farming, sybils, and bot-like behavior.

That fits opBNB pretty well.

Games, AI apps, social loops, quests.
All of these work better on a chain where repeated actions are cheap.

So imo this looks less like organic demand and more like a cheap consumer traffic.
