What is Lighter?

Lighter is a derivatives trading platform running on its own layer-2 network anchored to Ethereum. The LIT token reached the market in late 2025, with a distribution to platform users.

The project stands out for promising that order matching and liquidations can be verified by anyone, something centralized exchanges do not offer.

How Lighter works

Orders are processed off the main chain by an operator, which publishes zero-knowledge proofs that it followed the priority and liquidation rules. Funds sit in contracts on Ethereum.

The platform gained ground by offering zero-fee trading to ordinary users while charging professional participants. The token is used in platform programs and governance, according to the official documentation.

What LIT is used for

  • Taking part in platform programs and governance.
  • Exposure to growth in trading volume.

Risks and points of attention

  • Leveraged derivatives can liquidate the entire margin in fast moves.
  • A recent project that has already experienced instability in turbulent markets.
  • Operation concentrated in a single order operator.
  • Much of the supply is held by the team and investors, subject to unlocks.
