Final Lighter pre-TGE AMA of 2025

we got a major announcement from the Lighter team a few hours ago: Season 2 is officially wrapped, points finalized, and points from removed sybil/wash trading activities redistributed! the closing line hints that Season 3 may start right at TGE, which is actually a very smart

only \~5h left to fill out the Lighter airdrop form if you want to assign up to 4 wallet addresses. also if you earned points on testnet but haven't created a mainnet account yet, make sure to set up the same L1 account on Lighter mainnet, same deadline for both: Dec 26, 2 PM UTC

useful to remember where we came from and keep some perspective (and be grateful)

small correction to be more precise: anyone can verify Lighter's proofs and audit the verifier contract code

Lighter team just deployed a new contract to Ethereum mainnet. nope, this isn't airdrop-related, it's for something even bigger they announced will drop this week: circuits (the contract is literally named ZkLighterVerifier) now anyone can verify Lighter's zk-circuits and audit

and just 3 days ago, Lighter hosted another community meetup in Miami, open air, pier , seems like classic Miami experience. top-tier lit vibes all around, you could really feel it even through the screen

think Lighter community events have stopped? wrong! they're still happening. just two days ago another one brought together 28 Lighterooors from 8 different cities (take a look at the venue - crazy lit!) in Türkiye, the energy was totally there

Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, recently wrote in an op-ed advocating for a regulatory framework to connect the stock and cryptocurrency markets Lighter perfectly serves as the kind of bridge he described

the most interesting part that many seem to have missed (probably only a few people read the full post), Lighter's circuits are expected to go public this week and that's huge! for those not super familiar with zk-tech, "circuits" are the cryptographic rules used to generate ZK

alright, this is happening, just saw the official post in Lighter's Discord "we're in the final stretch of Season 2, and are running data checks to catch sybils, self-trading, and wash-trading. all slashed points, even the ones already removed, are getting redistributed back to

can try it here

you can now trade LIT-USDC hyperps on Hyperliquid looks like the most liquid market among all current Lighter premarkets, with $12M+ volume in just 2 hours and $7M OI and this is just pre-market (!) for LIT, price is holding above $4

as Lighter's tge approaches, a lot of people are trying to guess the "right" starting fdv for $LIT, but before anchoring on a number, it really helps to understand what you're actually valuing i'd strongly recommend reading (or at least skimming a summary via an llm, it's 2025

Lighter community events keep spreading worldwide, and Shenzhen was the latest stop! from small groups to full tables, whether you're early, active, or just lurking in chats, the community is clearly heating up, thanks @0Xlynn03 for the recap tge is getting closer by the day,
