Lighter (LIT)

Exploit Attempt on @Lighter_xyz, And It Failed Someone tried a Jelly Jelly–style attack on Lighter’s LLP using $ARC (~$6.4M TWAP) to drain the pool. > Result: The exploit failed. Lighter’s architecture held strong and the LLP was not affected. $LIT saw some panic volatility (~-10%) but fully recovered once it was clear nothing broke. > Liquidity Pool Today’s volatility boosted LP APRs significantly, liquidity providers were the real winners.

HTX hot wallet staking Lighter $LIT Wallet address 0x18709E89BD403F470088aBDAcEbE86CC60dda12e Total 6.6M $LIT The wallet is labeled in Arkham as 'HTX: Recovery Hot Wallet' Although the Arkham label is not 100% accurate, the transactions appear to match closely This wallet also currently deposits $1.1B into Aave If this is a wallet supporting 'DeFi staking' within HTX, there is actually no major issue HTX also appears to support the 'LIT Earn' product Hmm... still not sure yet

Lighter outcome post-TGE was the biggest disappointment for me Genuinely believed in the product as a unique features secondary perp DEX books next to HL. But they prefer to do anything but improving fundamentals for the sake of fueling LIT. Buggy docs/interface, liquidity thinner while pushing predatory ADL/Liq fees. Community does it's best to get rid of anyone trying it out by relentlessly shilling misinformation & attacking others Q1 turned out suicidal rather than lit

POV: you announced LIT staking as token utility a month ago, managed to get 50% of the circulating supply staked… yet somehow the token still ended up the worst performer among competitors. Some clarification from Vlad is needed. https://t.co/CiajukxWth

Half of all $LIT are now staked. 🕯️ https://t.co/WgT3Qb4mQA

$LIT is down bad since its launch back in December last year. The chart is not looking great, still unable to break resistance. Here is probably the last chance to save itself by forming a higher low. If it fails, a new all-time low is incoming! https://t.co/H8vqEEU0ek

In the PerpDEX track, @Lighter_xyz currently has execution and product rollout speed that can be considered among the leaders, especially in the roughly two months after the TGE, the team has maintained a very steady iteration pace. ************Bookmark🔖Start************ From public information and recent updates, they have done the following concrete things: - Funding Rate Rebates: launched in mid‑February, holding LIT or using a premium account can receive up to 15% funding rebates. This can actually reduce costs for long‑term holders or HFT strategy players, especially useful in low‑liquidity markets or when funding is high. - LLP bucket upgrade: recently split liquidity provider collateral into different strategy buckets such as crypto, FX, RWA, achieving finer risk isolation and reducing cross‑category impact. - Lighter EVM: announced at the end of January, an EVM‑compatible rollup that will allow assets on Ethereum (Aave deposits, LP positions, etc.) to be used directly as perps margin, theoretically boosting capital efficiency. - Staking attractiveness: after platform staking launched, more than 50% of circulating supply has been staked (including LLP portion), indicating many users choose to lock rather than sell pressure. - Buyback mechanism: continuously conducting $LIT buybacks, accumulating several million tokens, indirectly supporting the token economy. - Other minor updates: mobile app is live, network upgrade frequency is high (almost weekly or bi‑weekly), showing continuous infrastructure optimization. On the data side: - Currently in perp DEX rankings, volume usually fluctuates within the top 3–4 (Hyperliquid, Aster still lead, but Lighter has not fallen behind). - OI and TVL remain high (TVL once approached the $1 billion level, recent inflows observed). - The combination of zero retail fees + ZK verification gives it a head start on the “CEX‑like experience + DeFi security” path. Of course, PerpDEX competition is fierce; Hyperliquid’s first‑mover advantage and other newcomers’ incentives continue to tug at market share. Lighter’s advantage lies in not relying on short‑term farming spikes, but continuously delivering substantive features, gradually attracting professional traders and institutional‑level demand. Overall, it is not “invincible” or “rule‑changing,” but at the beginning of 2026, Lighter’s product‑valuation disconnect still exists, and its execution is indeed more stable than many projects in the same track. If you are already trading perps, open an account and try it out, feel the differences in latency, fees, and rebates, you should get a more intuitive judgment. Lighter 🕯️ Still moving forward steadily, worth continued observation. Community 👉🏻 https://t.co/o4FC4Q0m8W

LIT/ USDC LP (Ethereum – Uniswap ) • Current range: 1$ – 2$ • Real APR so far: ~115% If you’re holding $LIT and not sure what to do with it, this can be a nice way to put it to work. Why I’m still in this pool & why I changed the range: - Old range was 1.4 – 2.5 - Market still looks bearish - LIT has been one of the strongest assets vs BTC lately > Price logic: < 1 → insanely cheap, great RR, happy to accumulate LITER > 2 → nice way to slowly sell part of the airdrop
