Recently, the most astounding thing in the market is definitely LAB. During a period of overall market turbulence, it actually surged against the trend, pushing its price to around $18, with a total market capitalization soaring to about $4.66 billion, and the peak FDV (Fully Diluted Valuation) even hitting $18 billion!
This terrifying increase has left countless bears completely devastated. Many are asking, what exactly is LAB? Why is it so extraordinary?
Supplementary Knowledge: What exactly is LAB?
The core product line and commission "bait" claimed by LAB's official token:
Super browser tools (Extension / Sidebar / Terminal): The official claims its product form is a browser extension and trading sidebar, supporting various trading types such as spot, limit orders, and perpetual contracts (Perps), boasting over $1 billion in trading volume and more than 3.5 million transactions.
The so-called "AI trading engine" support: The product mentions a so-called "AI ecosystem", which is essentially just smart execution, Boost Mode, smart take profit and stop loss (TP/SL), and algorithmic trading scripts. They intentionally exaggerate the "AI" terminology in their promotion to opportunistically ride the hottest AI narrative.
4-level profit sharing and "repurchase deflation flywheel": The project team designed a 4-level profit sharing system with a maximum of 41% commission, claiming that they would use the plugin's fee income to repurchase LAB on the open market and burn it, packaged in the white paper as a "deflation flywheel" to attract retail investors for long-term locking.
Sounds impressive, a solid "future value investment," right? But brothers, in the crypto world, the more beautiful the story, the faster the scythe may swing behind it. The famous on-chain investigator ZachXBT has already stepped in and directly exposed its ugly truths.

1. ZachXBT's Ironclad Evidence: Insiders Control 95% of the "Open Card" Scheme
On May 14, renowned on-chain investigator ZachXBT published a major investigative report, directly defining LAB: it is not a technological miracle at all, but a game of cutting leeks highly controlled by insiders. The core accusations are sharp:
Extreme chip concentration: The project team and insiders control over 95% of the token supply.
Collaborating with KOLs to dump: During March and April, insiders deposited 226 million LAB into exchanges and sold them to certain KOLs at ultra-low OTC prices (60%-80% discount), under the condition that they had to promote it wildly online, ready to crash once unlocked.
Unilaterally changing rules: The official unilaterally extended the lock-up period of the public sale from 3 months to 9 months, directly locking up retail investors' chips tightly.
Habitual manipulators: Founder Vova Sadkov has been confirmed to have direct on-chain links with the notorious manipulation schemes RIVER, MYX, and RAVE.
ZachXBT warned at the time: Do not blindly short this token! Because the manipulators hold too many chips, they will use absolute supply control to launch a crazy pump, deliberately liquidating shorts, treating them as fuel for the pump.
2. Extremely Low Circulation + Buyback Plan = The Manipulator's "Deflation Flywheel" Scam
Why can LAB surge to $16 so quickly? This is because the manipulators have maximized "extreme low circulation manipulation":
When factoring out the 96% controlled by the top 10 addresses, retail investors might only hold a pitiful 2% of the chips. This means manipulators just need to use a very small amount of capital to infinitely inflate the price in a game of flipping the chips.
At the same time, the official throws out the so-called "buyback plan" (claiming to use platform income to repurchase LAB on the open market and destroy it). It sounds beneficial, but don’t forget that the buyback consumes real revenue, while 92.35% of the chips waiting to be unlocked are garbage! Once the unlocking window arrives, that little buyback money won't be enough to fill gaps in the massive selling pressure.
3. The Precedent of RAVE: A 97.8% Drop in 14 Days
The current script of LAB is strikingly similar to that of the wild coin RAVE from years ago, with the same market makers involved.
At that time, RAVE surged 113-fold from $0.25 to $28.5 in just 12 days, with the entire network shouting "to the sky." What happened? In just 14 days, RAVE plummeted from $28.5 back to $0.63, a drop of 97.8%!
The death spiral of RAVE unfolded like this:
Precise on-chain deposits: The manipulators suddenly broke their silence at high levels, continuously pouring tokens from insider wallets into exchanges to offload.
Exchanges intervened for investigation: The top three exchanges implemented temporary restrictions in succession, but it was too late.
Liquidity dried up: No one dared to take the tickets, transaction volumes shrank dramatically, and it became impossible to cut losses, triggering successive sharp declines.
Manipulators profit from both ends: Violently pumping kills shorts earning high negative interest rates heavy spot selling at peak prices to kill longs precise on-chain deposits to escape.
4. Derivative Trading Strategy: Good News is Exhausted, Patiently Waiting for the Wind
LAB now resembles a time bomb that could explode at any moment, but as ZachXBT said, blindly opening a short position on the left means giving money to the manipulators. Currently, the funding rates for LAB on platforms like Bybit has reached as high as $-0.72 (an epic negative funding rate), meaning those shorting must pay longs 2.17% of their principal daily, burning 15% in a week! Manipulators love to continue squeezing shorts with such high negative rates.
Our most reliable offensive strategy on Bybit should be:
No long positions at all: A veto signal has been triggered, taking positions at high levels is pure cannon fodder.
Only short on the right side is the hard truth: Patiently wait for the signal that squeezing is over. Once you see Funding (the funding rate) turn positive, and a massive volume breaking below $12, it means the manipulators have begun to offload and are taking advantage of on-chain deposits to crash the price. At this point, directly open a short position on Bybit,
utilizing Bybit's deep contract liquidity and flexible leverage, you do not need capitals to stubbornly hold, just time it right and you can reap incredible returns.
