02
Lighter in brief
Lighter is a perpetual futures exchange built as a custom zero-knowledge rollup on Ethereum, where order matching and liquidations are proven with zero-knowledge circuits.
Its public mainnet launched on 1 October 2025, and the LIT token followed in December 2025 with a community airdrop.
LIT is used for staking and governance, and trading-fee revenue funds buybacks of the token.
Lighter charges no trading fees on standard accounts, which makes it a close competitor to other perp DEXs, including Aevo.

06
Risks of a leveraged LIT position
Leverage. Altcoin and equity perps can move further in a day than BTC, so the same leverage sits closer to liquidation.
Funding. Crowded positions pay funding every hour the imbalance lasts.
Cross-margin spillover. A loss here draws on collateral that backs your other positions.
Thin books. Large market orders can move the price.
