A fixed-fee stable-pair pool charges the same percentage when its assets are near parity and when they have moved apart. Uniswap’s stated…

$LAB token, which the blockchain analytics firm BubbleMaps warned holders about, has fallen 99%. The token’s combined value of an early presale group has dropped from about $1 billion to roughly $6.8 million. Why did $LAB crash?
