Lighter is a decentralized perpetual trading exchange that lets you trade perpetuals with 0️⃣ fees and low latency on Ethereum L2. Powered by custom zero-knowledge circuits, it delivers verifiable order matching and liquidations, combining CEX-grade speed with DeFi transparency ⚡️
🪂 The Lighter Points Program is underway, rewarding traders, liquidity providers, and referrers for every meaningful action on the exchange. Points are distributed weekly on Fridays and form a transparent record of participation that will potentially lead to an Airdrop after TGE 🎯
About Lighter
Lighter runs as a ZK rollup on Ethereum L2, where every order and liquidation is cryptographically proven on-chain. Its millisecond execution enables high-frequency trading while keeping every action transparent through the integrated Block Explorer.
Two account types are available:
► Free → 0 % maker / 0 % taker fees
► Premium → 0.002 % maker / 0.02 % taker
Deposits and withdrawals use native $USDC only, supported on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, and Avalanche C-Chain, with a 5 USDC minimum deposit.
All smart contracts and ZK circuits are audited by Nethermind.
The Lighter Liquidity Provider (LLP) pool powers the protocol’s liquidity, rewarding users through funding rates, while Public Pools let anyone join or create on-chain strategies like Delta-Neutral or BTC-vs-ALTS, tracked with real-time APR and Sharpe ratios 📊
