Perpetuals-focused Ethereum-based Layer 2 decentralized exchange (DEX) Lighter has announced the debut of its native cryptocurrency, the Lighter Infrastructure Token (LIT), to align traders, builders, and backers as it looks to blend traditional markets with DeFi.
The LIT token supply is divided evenly: 50% to the ecosystem, 50% to the team and investors. An immediate airdrop rewards early participants with free money by instantly converting their 12.5 million points, earned in 2025, into LIT tokens. This represents 25% of the project’s total fully diluted value – the maximum possible tokens if everything is issued.
The rest funds future rewards, partnerships, and expansion. Team (26%) and investors (24%) face a one-year lockup followed by three-year linear vesting, Ligther said in a post on X. The token is issued directly by Lighter’s operating firm, which is a U.S.-registered C-Corporation.
Lighter-based perpetuals have averaged a volume of $2.7 billion over the past seven days, the third largest behind Hyperliquid and Aster, according to a Dune-based data tracker.
