White Lab Protocol ($WLAB)

A Base-native launch operating system for token sales, vesting, staking, governance locks, treasury control, and audit-conscious release discipline.

Abstract

White Lab is a compliance-oriented token launch operating system on Base. It unifies gated IDO sales, vesting, staking, a weighted governance lock vault, treasury controls, and timelock governance. Max supply is fixed at 1 billion WLAB with documented emissions and transparent on-chain operations. Code is unaudited; mainnet deployment is gated on external security review.

Problem & Opportunity

Token launches remain fragmented and trust-deficient. White Lab standardizes the launch path: configure the sale, lock supply promises, route governance through timelock, then publish only when validation and review gates are satisfied.

Architecture

Launch Path

  1. Configure sale mechanics — phases, prices, caps, allowlists, claim paths, and refunds.
  2. Lock supply obligations — vesting schedules, staking programs, and unclaimed buyer entitlements.
  3. Route authority — Governor, Timelock, treasury roles, and multisig handover.
  4. Publish with restraint — testnet first, audit pending visible, mainnet blocked until review.

Token Utility

Launch fees, staking rewards, governance, liquidity incentives, and programmatic buyback-and-burn from protocol revenue where implemented.

Tokenomics

Max supply: 1,000,000,000 WLAB (fixed cap).

TGE circulating: ~88.5M WLAB (~8.85%) from documented unlock buckets.

Staking emissions: 180M WLAB over 60 months (3M/month from pre-allocated pool).

Governance

Proposal threshold 100,000 WLAB delegated. Voting period configured for Base block times. Critical operations route through Timelock. Production deploys enforce multisig handover before the deploy script exits.

Security

Reentrancy guards, SafeERC20 on value transfers, disabled OFT stub by default, 192 regression tests, 95.43% branch coverage, adversarial branch coverage on core contracts, and Slither in CI. External audit is required before mainnet capital deployment.
