What is Lighter?
Exchange design
Lighter operates a specialized zero-knowledge rollup on Ethereum. Elliot Technologies develops the platform and its software. Its order book matches trades by price and time priority. A risk engine evaluates margin and handles liquidations. Trades and account changes are collected into batches for proof generation.
Verification and settlement
Custom proof circuits check that execution follows the platform's rules. Ethereum verifies the resulting proofs and records system state changes. Users can deposit and withdraw through Ethereum. The exchange supports perpetual derivatives and spot markets. Standard retail trading and professional account services have different fee arrangements.
LIT and platform access
LIT is issued as an ERC-20 token with an initial billion-token supply. The platform supports staking pools through its transaction interface. Its API also provides LIT leasing with fees determined by amount and duration. These functions connect token use to exchange services. LIT transfers on Ethereum follow the token contract and Ethereum transaction rules.
