Q: What makes $LAB more than just another token in the market?

Vova: For me, $LAB is deeply personal as it’s the reward for the people who have been shaping markets for years. It’s not just a token you hold; it’s a stake in the ecosystem you’re actively building.

When you hold $LAB, you get trading discounts, staking rewards, governance rights, premium tools, referral incentives, and soon, benefits for perpetual traders. Every trade you make on LAB strengthens the token itself.

It’s a flywheel: your activity powers the value, and the value flows right back to you.

 

Q: How does $LAB generate value for its holders?

Vova: We’ve designed LAB so that the platform’s success is directly shared with the community. 80% of our revenue goes back into buybacks, burns, and reward pools. That means every time someone trades, a portion of that activity is returning value to holders.

Personally, I love this because it flips the old model where traders are no longer just participants; they are the actual owners.

 

Q: How does the buyback process work?

Vova: Buybacks are already live, and I see them as a way to directly thank the community for their trust and participation.

We use revenue from the platform to buy $LAB off the market, which we then burn or redistribute through rewards. Soon, we’re launching a dedicated Buyback Portal so everyone can see the impact of their activity in real-time. We’re also introducing open-access trading competitions so that every $LAB believer has a chance to actively participate and benefit.

 

Q: Why are buybacks important for $LAB?

Vova: Buybacks are how we put value back into the hands of the people building this market. It’s not just about reducing supply; it’s about recognizing the traders, stakers, and believers who are making this ecosystem thrive. I personally see it as a way to align the platform’s growth with the community’s upside, everyone wins when LAB succeeds.

 

Q: What kind of growth has LAB seen since launch?

Vova: Honestly, the numbers have been thrilling. In just three months, we’ve cleared over $800M in lifetime trading volume and generated $3.5M in pre-TGE revenue. And on-chain markets now move over $1T+ every month across BNB, Solana, Base, and Ethereum so LAB connects that flow. Seeing traders capture value directly from this activity is incredibly motivating; it proves that our approach works and that our vision is resonating.

 

Q: How does this impact traders holding $LAB?

Vova: Every trade, every stake, every action strengthens the token and the ecosystem. That means the more active the community is, the more everyone benefits. 

Personally, I love that the system is self-reinforcing: the community drives the growth, and growth drives the rewards. It’s a simple, powerful cycle that actually rewards the people powering it.

 

Q: What’s next for LAB after the TGE?

Vova: I’m incredibly excited about this next phase. We’re rolling out a Buyback Portal, integrating perpetuals, hosting trading contests and airdrops, building an AI Research Engine, launching new blockchain integrations, a mobile app, and introducing loyalty rewards, cross-chain swaps, and a developer SDK.

To me, this isn’t just a roadmap, it’s a mission to empower traders to lead, not follow. Every feature we build is designed to give users more control, more ownership, and more rewards.

 

Q: How is LAB different from traditional trading platforms?

Vova: The biggest difference is simple: traditional finance extracts value from traders; LAB returns it. I’ve spent years watching markets operate, and I knew we could build something better.

With LAB, trading activity is not just about speculation, it’s about ownership, participation, and real rewards. We’re creating a system where effort and engagement actually pay off, and the results speak for themselves.

 

Q: Are perpetuals live on LAB?

Vova: Will share a bit of alpha here. We are launching perpetuals with BTC up to 40x leverage, unified balances, and a single interface designed for total control. It will be live on Monday.

Personally, I love that we can offer professional-grade tools to every trader, all in one place. You can trade how you always have, but this time, your effort counts toward real rewards.

 

Q: Will there be $LAB-specific benefits for perpetual traders?

Vova: Absolutely. Soon, $LAB stakers will unlock exclusive perks for perpetuals trading. It’s part of the larger vision: your engagement with the platform not only allows you to trade effectively but also strengthens your stake in LAB. 

I see it as a full-circle moment, traders contribute, traders benefit, and the ecosystem grows stronger every day.

 

Q: What’s the bigger vision behind LAB?

Vova: For me, LAB is a rebellion against the old way markets operate. We’re unifying $1T+ in global flow into a single ecosystem that rewards the people powering it. 

Ownership, participation, and rewards are not optional; they’re built into the DNA of the platform. Personally, I want LAB to feel like a home for every trader who has ever felt undervalued by the system. 

 

Q: How can community members participate and shape LAB’s future?

Vova: The community is the heartbeat of LAB. Whether it’s staking, governance, trading competitions, or cross-chain participation, every action shapes the network. I’m thrilled to see people take ownership of their experience here, your activity drives rewards, your voice drives decisions, and your participation fuels the next chapter of LAB. We’re not building this alone; we’re building it together.

Q: LAB focuses on building next-gen decentralized solutions — but what’s your strategy to attract real-world adoption beyond Web3 natives?

Vova: Real adoption begins when crypto stops feeling like crypto.

Our goal isn’t to make users “learn Web3”, it’s to make Web3 disappear behind experience.

When you trade on LAB, you’re not dealing with wallets, bridges, or jargon - you’re dealing with clarity. That’s how real-world adoption happens.

We’re building a product that doesn’t ask people to change their behavior, it enhances it. Traders, investors, analysts - all using the same rails, powered by decentralization, without even realizing it. That’s how crypto scales: when it feels normal.

 

Q: Do you support advanced trading features (limit orders, stop-loss, margin, derivatives) or is LAB focusing mostly on spot swaps and aggregations?

Vova: LAB is built for complete control from perpetuals to limit orders, from unified balances to cross-chain portfolios. We’re not here to reinvent trading. We’re here to redefine its architecture.

The goal is a frictionless environment where traders move across Spot, perp, and DeFi markets without a single pause or tab switch. The edge isn’t more tools, it’s seamless execution.

 

Q: With anything multi-chain, security becomes a big concern (bridges, cross-chain messaging, etc.) How do you secure cross-chain transactions and protect against exploits?

Vova: Security isn’t a feature, it’s a philosophy. At LAB, we treat every transaction as an act of trust. That’s why our system is designed with multi-layer defense, integrating audited protocols with LAB’s own validation nodes constantly monitoring chain behavior. Every trade is simulated before execution. Every route is verified before release.

 

Q: There are mixed descriptions in external sources saying LAB is also an "AI-native OS for R&D teams". Which of these is the core purpose: trading infrastructure or tools for AI/R&D? Can you clarify how these roles combine (if they do)?

Vova: They’re two sides of the same revolution.

Trading infrastructure is what we build. AI-native intelligence is how we make it evolve.

The AI layer inside LAB isn’t marketing - it’s the invisible engine that constantly learns from liquidity, volatility, and user behavior to optimize execution, manage risk, and evolve trading strategies in real time.

So yes, LAB is both: A trading OS that doubles as a sandbox for intelligent systems.

We’re building the rails for the next generation of autonomous finance where AI doesn’t replace traders, it amplifies them.

 

Q: How does LAB plan to leverage its partnership with KuCoin to expand its ecosystem and attract more users to Web3? What cool things can we expect from LAB’s partnership with KuCoin? Any upcoming features or events the community should be hyped for?

Vova:  KuCoin represents scale, and LAB represents evolution. Together, we’re merging reach with reinvention.

Our partnership with KuCoin will unlock cross-platform trading, joint liquidity routing, and exclusive integrations that bring CEX-grade liquidity into decentralized rails. But the most exciting part? We’re building a cultural bridge, a joint movement to show that decentralization isn’t the opposite of convenience.

Expect interactive trading quests, LAB token incentives, and co-hosted product launches that reward participation, not just speculation.

 

Q: What are the biggest challenges facing LAB right now, and how is the team overcoming them?

Vova: Our biggest challenge is patience in an impatient industry. Everyone wants quick wins - tokens before tech, hype before delivery. We chose the harder path: build quietly, then speak loudly.

That decision comes with pressure. But it also builds character. We’ve learned to see silence as a feature because the longer you build without noise, the stronger your signal becomes when you finally speak. The LAB token is standing strong while the market is falling today. And that in itself is all we have to say to the doubters.

 

Q: What was the “aha moment” that made you believe $LAB should exist, and how has your vision evolved since then?

Vova: The “aha moment” came in frustration. I was trading across three chains, four wallets, and two platforms and I realized I was losing not to the market, but to the system itself. That night I knew the next big leap in crypto wasn’t another coin or exchange. It was a unified layer of control. $LAB was born from that clarity. Since then, the vision evolved from building a product for traders to building an operating system for the on-chain economy. It’s no longer just about efficiency, it’s about liberation from friction.

 

Q: How does LAB plan to build trust and attract more users globally, especially in emerging crypto markets?

Vova: Trust isn’t built through ads, it’s built through consistency and clarity. In emerging markets, people don’t just want profits, they want tools that give them control. LAB delivers that. We’re localizing education, simplifying UX, and enabling gasless trades so anyone, anywhere, can access real liquidity without barriers. Our belief is simple: when people understand what they’re using, trust becomes inevitable.

 

Q: LAB aims to bring true innovation to the Web3 space. Could you explain how LAB’s technology or real-world use case makes it stand out from other blockchain projects in terms of functionality and impact?

Vova: Most projects innovate around features. We’re innovating around philosophy. LAB stands out because it redefines how users interact with liquidity itself.  It’s not just aggregation, it’s synchronization - one interface, one balance layer, infinite access. That’s the impact: we turn chaos into clarity, and fragmentation into flow. In a space obsessed with speculation, LAB represents execution with intention.

 

Q: Fees are reduced to 0.5%, what is LAB's main source of income (spread, subscriptions, data/analytics, listings) and what is the plan to achieve profitability?

Vova: LAB isn’t trying to be the cheapest platform, it’s trying to be the most trusted one.

Our revenue model reflects that:

- Trading and routing fees that reward efficiency.

- Subscription layers for power users, AI tools, and API traders.

- Institutional analytics that turn liquidity into intelligence.

Buybacks and Burning mechanisms with 80% of the platform revenue flowing back to the ecosystem

But profitability for us means something deeper, it means building an economy that feeds itself.

Every transaction, every product, every integration brings value back to the ecosystem, not extracted from it.

That’s the foundation of a new financial culture: fair, open, and built to last.
