Lighter Points Program — Build Rewards Through Transparent Trading
Lighter offers a decentralized platform for perpetual futures trading on Ethereum Layer 2, prioritizing speed, transparency, and cost efficiency. Leveraging custom zero-knowledge proofs, every trade and liquidation is verifiable on-chain, delivering CEX-like performance with full DeFi openness. Traders can access up to 50x leverage on major markets, supported by deep liquidity from the Lighter Liquidity Provider (LLP) pool.
The Points Program recognizes active participants — traders, liquidity providers, and referrers — by awarding points weekly on Fridays. These points track your contributions and may contribute to future token distributions post-Token Generation Event (TGE), helping you gain value from your on-chain activities.
