Binance Labs has unveiled Ethena Labs, NFP, and Shogun as the first batch of its investment initiatives in the Season 6 Incubation Program.
In the sixth season, Binance invested in three projects, according to a post made on the X account on February 15. Although neither the latest initiative’s specifics nor the total investment amount have been made public, Binance Labs has disclosed the following entities as recipients of funding:
It is well known that Ethena Labs is supplying the derivatives infrastructure needed to turn Ethereum (ETH) into the first stablecoin that can make money off of exchanges other than banks.
The next generation of Web3 producers is targeted by NFPromt, an AI-powered user-generated content platform that includes all new standards, including non-fungible tokens (NFT), captions, and 404—an all-in-one platform that enables AI development, social communities, and commerce.
The intent-centric Shogun project aims to streamline order flow and achieve complete chain abstraction to maximize trader extractable value (TEV). Binance Labs summarized their efforts in 2023 in January.
The fund’s investment program supported decentralized finance (defi) businesses, Web3 games, and tools based on zero-knowledge proof techniques.
According to the research, Binance Labs’ portfolio, which includes 250 projects across 25 countries, has a 14x return on investment. Numerous well-known projects, such as Optimism, LayerZero, Celestia, Aptos, Mysten Labs, and Trust Wallet, have received support from the team. Binance Labs has incubated over 50 firms, such as Polygon, SafePal, and Injective Labs.
