  • The Lighter team allocates 50% LIT token to the ecosystem, 26% to the team, and 24% to investors.
  • LIT token surges on the daily chart and pre-market trading.

Lighter, an Ethereum-based decentralized perps exchange, has announced the launch of its native token, LIT. This announcement precedes its long-awaited token generation event.

LIT Structure, Vision, and Use Cases

Lighter unveiled its Lighter Infrastructure Token (LIT) in a thread post on X. The decentralized perp exchange described the structure of the token, broader vision, and roadmap of use cases.

According to the announcement, the token is allocated between the ecosystem, team, and investors. The Lighter ecosystem will receive 50% of the token supply, while the remaining 50% will go to the team and investors. 

The breakdown is 26% for the team and 24% for investors. All Lighter team members and investors have a 1-year unlock and 3-year linear vesting.

For the Lighter ecosystem, the 50% token allocation includes an immediate airdrop to participants in the first two points seasons of 2025. This represents 25% of the fully diluted value.

The remaining 25% of the ecosystem allocation will fund future points seasons, partnerships, and growth initiatives.

The Lighter team added that LIT holders will fully receive the value created by all Lighter products and services. The team also confirmed they are building the U.S, and issued the token directly from their C-Corp.

According to Lighter, revenues from their core DEX product, future products, and services can be tracked in real-time onchain. The plan is to allocate between growth and buybacks depending on market conditions.

The team added that its infrastructure for financial transactions and fairness verification will be tiered based on LIT staking. 

They also emphasized that they are long-term builders who plan to maximize the long-term value created. They further pointed out that LIT helps to accelerate the execution of their vision, with alignment between traders, institutions, other developers, and investors. 

Some Lighter strategic partners include Robinhood and Coinbase. Also note that Lighter has also helped to boost Ethereum transaction speed, as we reported earlier.

LIT-USDC Trading Pair Goes Live

Lighter officially launched the LIT-USDC trading pair early Tuesday, December 30, 2025. As of this writing, the LIT token traded around $3.0, up 12.4% over the past 24 hours. However, the token is still down slightly from its pre-market price of about $3.25.

Lighter launched its public mainnet in October and has since become one of the largest perps exchanges. In November, it recorded $292.5 billion in trading volume, surpassing Aster and Hyperliquid. Aster came behind with $259.2 billion, while Hyperliquid recorded $243.6 million.

Lighter has demonstrated strong momentum, raising $68 million at a $1.5 billion valuation, led by Founders Fund and Ribbit Capital. Additionally, it expanded beyond perpetuals by rolling out spot trading in early December.
