The decentralised finance space has long wrestled with fragmented trading tools that slow down transactions and rack up fees, making it tough for traders to maintain an edge. LAB, a multi-chain trading infrastructure startup focused on speed, precision, and cost efficiency, is tackling these challenges by delivering an all-in-one trading terminal that brings discovery, execution, analysis, and rewards into one streamlined, efficient platform.
To build a committed, values-aligned community, LAB partnered with Legion and Nozomi Network on a rigorous vetting process. Combining on-chain data with social metrics, the process prioritises genuine conviction over sheer capital, resulting in a globally engaged group that shares LAB’s vision for a unified multi-chain trading future.
Today, LAB closed an oversubscribed $1.5 million community funding round in just 10 minutes. Hosted on Legion, a platform known for providing early access to top ICOs and token pre-sales, the round attracted pledges exceeding $15 million from roughly 1,450 investors worldwide, pushing demand more than 30 times beyond its initial target.
Earlier this year, LAB secured a $2.3 million seed round led by Lemniscap, with participation from TVM Ventures, Animoca Brands, OKX Ventures, Mirana Ventures, Gate Ventures, MEXC Ventures, Kucoin Ventures, Oak Grove Ventures, NewTribe Capital, GSR, Cypher Capital, Castrum Capital, Amber Group, and Presto.
Vova Sadkov, co-founder of LAB, shared, “The response, especially over a weekend, highlights the strength of our community and their belief in what we’re building. We’re excited to carry this momentum forward into our upcoming Token Generation Event, which we consider a key step toward becoming the default on-chain trading platform.”
At the core of LAB’s technology is a browser-based sidebar terminal that overlays popular trading platforms like Dexscreener, BullX, and GMGN. This design lets traders keep their familiar workflows while gaining faster execution speeds, lower fees, and seamless access across multiple blockchains. The sidebar acts as an easy entry point, drawing users in with immediate benefits and encouraging them to explore LAB’s fuller platform offerings.
Unlike fragmented tools from competitors such as Orion Terminal, Volven, Hyblock, and Token Metrics, LAB’s terminal uniquely combines AI-driven signals, effortless onboarding, and aligned incentives into a cohesive trading experience suitable for traders from beginners to seasoned semi-professionals.
Looking ahead, LAB is preparing for its October Token Generation Event (TGE), featuring the $LAB token. Designed to align the interests of traders, holders, and the platform, the TGE marks a pivotal step toward democratizing token launches and reshaping decentralised market access.
