Lighter
Ethereum 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 📊
