Lab Rat: a virtual rodent in a token launch sequence
Credibility concern recorded. The source reference remains available for verification and correction.
A project page describes a simulated rat whose trained neural networks operate a cursor and click through a launch sequence for the $LABRAT token on Pons.

- Readers of embodied-AI simulations and unusual crypto experiments
- Worth noticing
- The page specifies a 67-joint model, 38 motors, and 2 ms physics steps; it says the burn rule remains simulated until enabled.
Field notes
According to the page, R-01’s body follows an open-source DeepMind rodent model associated with Aldarondo et al. and runs in MuJoCo with physics steps every 2 milliseconds. Two trained networks control 38 motors across a 67-joint body; the homepage also describes piano-tile and maze tasks tied to proposed token buyback and burn rules. The burn is identified as simulated until the rule is switched on.
