A jump in $LAB volume this week needs a second look. #Binance Alpha's contest counts eligible buys at 2x for the first 48 hours of each round. Sells add nothing to the leaderboard, even when traders sell back into the market. A higher score can come from the same amount of buying.

The first test is Nov 14 at 13:00 UTC, when the multiplier drops to 1.8x. If volume picks up before then, watch whether $LAB holds its gains after the cut. The 2x boost returns when round two starts Nov. 19 at 13:00 UTC.

That gives you another window to check whether the move tracks the incentive.
