Lighter Public Launch After 3 Years of Development Congratulations to the Lighter team on their public launch! After 3 years of relentless building, they’ve delivered the fastest PerpDEX on Ethereum - a protocol with the potential to become the main PerpDEX in the entire ETH eco. The idea for Lighter came to the team in mid-2022, after the collapses of Luna, Celsius, BlockFi, FTX, and Alameda. The vision was clear: create a reliable, lightning-fast decentralized DEX capable of rivaling CEX performance. ______ The road wasn’t easy. _____ The team experimented with multiple deployments - first on Arbitrum - then on Hyperchain (zkSync) - and only after this they decided to build their own zk-rollup with custom zk-circuits. That choice required more than 2 years of deep technical development before it evolved into the Lighter we see today. _____ In January 2025, Lighter launched in Private Mode. ____ Within 9 months, they had nearly matched Hyperliquid’s 18-month pre-TGE performance - and even outperformed it in trading volume metrics (both daily and cumulative). Now, with the public launch, Lighter is poised to surpass Hyperliquid’s pre-TGE results by the end of 2025. A TGE is expected in Q4 2025 – Q1 2026 - but that’s only the beginning. ____ Unlike many teams in Web3, @vnovakovski didn’t enter the space just to launch a token. His track record speaks for itself: - Pioneer in digital trading in the 1990s - Key Advisor in building Robinhood and friend of Vlad Tenev - Creator of a world-class hiring system for top talent His goal here isn’t short-term hype - but to modernize the entire CEX industry. With this vision, the Lighter team is on track to compete head-to-head with Hyperliquid and potentially surpass it in the years ahead due to Ethereum alignment and market size. Congratulations to the entire Lighter team and everyone who made this milestone possible!
