LAB (LAB)

Important update on LAB We hear your concerns and understand your frustration with Lab’s vesting terms change, adding a 9 month cliff before the agreed 6-month vesting. We want to assure you that we stand firmly against such practices from projects and have enforced our agreement with Lab, applying the maximum penalty under their Snaps campaign terms. This penalty will be distributed to snappers and stakers. As a result @LABtrade_ will add an extra $125,000 in $LAB to the rewards pool. This will be distributed proportionally to all snappers and stakers and will follow the same vesting schedule. After multiple rounds of negotiations, this is the strongest resolution we can lock in right now for snappers and stakers. We will keep you updated on any further progress. Please check the Cookie Discord for more details.

Cookie Response "We Don't Control Token Prices, Market Does" Yoooo GM CT @cookiedotfun just dropped a statement after multiple TGE opened -60% to -70% & community went nuclear. They're acknowledging people are mad, disappointed & exhausted Here's what they're saying (simplified) 🧵 ① "We don't control token performance" • projects set their own raise, economics, liquidity • cookie doesn't touch treasury or price tokens • they're just an InfoFi platform providing tools • if market dumps below raise » rewards shrink • if market pumps » rewards increase (like $LAB, $RECALL) • "that's just how TGE work across the industry" Translation: "Not our fault, market decides everything" ② "Reward numbers are estimates, not promises" • numbers shown are at FDV from public raise • it's a benchmark, not a guarantee • market decides final outcome • open lower » you get less • open higher » you get more Translation: "We showed you best-case scenario while market nuked it, that's on the market" ➂ "This hurts us too" • ba

Cookie Response "We Don't Control Token Prices, Market Does" Yoooo GM CT @cookiedotfun just dropped a statement after multiple TGE opened -60% to -70% & community went nuclear.

If you lose, we lose too eventually" ➃ "We're listening & improving" • acknowledge people feel blindsided • will communicate estimates more clearly • improving due diligence with each launch • not running from hard conversations Translation: "We hear you, we'll do better, trust the process" What Cookie is Actually Said? "We're the middleman connecting projects & creators. We don't control what happens at TGE. Market conditions are brutal rn. Tokens are dumping across the board. Yeah, you got rekt, but so did everyone else. We'll try to communicate better, but ultimately the market decides outcomes, not us" But why? • why they vet projects that immediately dump 60-70%? • why estimates are always best-case FDV instead of realistic market scenario? • why creators farm for months only to get pennies? • whether their DD process is actually improving or just lip service? Cookie positioned as "We're just the platform, projects & market control outcomes. We're trying our best." Cookie stance, this is not their fault token is dump. Market decides. They're listening & improving DD Community feel "You profit from our attention either way, we're the ones left holding bags" Community take is, easy to say "not our fault" when you already got paid for running campaigns while creators got rekt Let's see it in the next month, we've @useTria & @RaylsLabs But yea fair or not, that's the tension rn

needed a good read? take your time on this banger from cookie this was a necessary and honest breakdown cookie doesn’t control token pricing or post-TGE performance lol it just provides the InfoFi rails, not the market outcome reward figures are estimates based on raise valuations, and in a market this tight, downside risk shows up fast, even for solid projects what stands out is the willingness to own what is controllable: clearer communication, better UX, and learning from each launch addressing frustration head-on instead of dodging it is how long-term trust is actually built gg @cookiedotfun

This is a solid reflective piece by Cookie and echos what I keep saying at the InfoFi space as a whole. For Cookie to win, it needs business. Continual business. This is the same for every InfoFi platform. Cookie gets business → Content creators engage → Projects get reach → Cookie gets business The flywheel only works if the value goes full circle, otherwise, people pivot. It won't be a success every time though. Projects have to deliver, and these markets have been absolutely shit, let's not sugar coat that for price action. Not every single project will succeed, but it is a percentage game. It's also up to you as a content creator to determine the value and risk to your time vs the potential reward.
