In Binance's official report, Head of the Binance Labs Fund Bill Chin said that he has high hopes for the Oasis Network, which will help in terms of Web 3.0 development:

“We are very excited to join the Ecosystem Fund as we believe that Oasis can advance Web 3.0 development due to its scalability and privacy-preserving features. Also, any project building on top of Oasis will also be part of the Web 3.0 innovation.”

The fund is set to ramp up the capabilities on the upcoming Oasis Network applications, with a scalable framework that requires "99% lowers gas fees versus Ethereum", and other blockchain enhancing features.

Binance Labs has funded several other projects that focus on developing blockchain technologies. In late December of 2021, Binance Labs announced that it will be leading a $60M fund for Multichain (earlier known as AnySwap) to support the development of its ecosystem.
