LAB, a next-generation decentralized trading infrastructure, has announced the successful closure of a $5 million funding round, setting the stage for a transformative leap in multi-chain finance. The raise comes just days before the platform’s highly anticipated Token Generation Event (TGE) for $LAB, scheduled for October 14, 2025, underscoring investor confidence in the project’s long-term vision to unify DeFi trading across major blockchains.
The round introduces new investors such as Selini Capital, Re7 Capital, Cypher Capital, and Red Beard Ventures, joining a growing list of backers including Lemniscap, TVM Ventures, OKX Ventures, Mirana, KuCoin Ventures, Gate Ventures, GSR, Animoca Brands, Presto Labs, M Ventures Labs, and Amber Group. Angels from Nozomi Network, Legion.cc, and Echo also participated. This impressive coalition signals that LAB has not only captured attention but also conviction from across the institutional spectrum.
The newly raised capital will accelerate core product development, infrastructure scaling, and global expansion. LAB’s team emphasized that this phase is not about short-term hype or liquidity mining but about building long-term value and network resilience. Rewards within the ecosystem will increasingly flow to users who genuinely contribute — traders, liquidity providers, and community builders — aligning incentives for sustainable growth.
LAB was conceived to address the structural inefficiencies of decentralized trading — namely fragmented liquidity, inefficient cross-chain swaps, and high bridging costs. Instead of relying on separate DEXs across chains, LAB’s unified trading layer brings together ecosystems such as Ethereum, Solana, Base, and BNB Chain. The result is a seamless, low-friction experience for users transacting across networks.
The funding news arrives as LAB’s community airdrop season enters its key phase. From October 10–13, users active on LAB Terminal, Telegram mini-games, and referral campaigns can submit wallet addresses to claim $LAB tokens. The new points-based loyalty system, launched October 9, ensures long-term engagement beyond TGE — rewarding consistent participation rather than one-time activity.
LAB’s vision extends beyond building another DeFi platform; it aims to become the connective tissue of decentralized markets, merging execution, intelligence, and accessibility. As DeFi becomes increasingly multi-chain, LAB’s focus on simplicity, speed, and scalability could position it as a category-defining infrastructure layer.
For those eager to explore LAB, access is simple: trade through the Telegram bot, download the app, or join the fast-growing Telegram community. Stay updated on X, engage with the team on Discord, and track token performance on CoinMarketCap.
As the TGE approaches, the $5M raise affirms LAB’s readiness to lead the next phase of decentralized trading — one that is cross-chain, intelligent, and community-driven.
