Lighter, a decentralized perpetuals exchange, has officially launched its Ethereum Layer 2 public mainnet following an extensive eight-month beta testing phase. The rollout introduces verifiable zero-knowledge proof-based trading infrastructure while simultaneously initiating the second season of its points program, scheduled to run through 2025.
The protocol’s mainnet deployment marks a significant advancement in decentralized derivatives trading, offering enhanced scalability and reduced transaction costs while maintaining Ethereum’s security guarantees. The platform’s innovative architecture enables transparent and verifiable trading operations through advanced cryptographic implementations.
This mainnet launch positions Lighter as a competitive alternative in the rapidly evolving decentralized finance derivatives landscape. The extended points program, continuing through 2025, aims to incentivize early adoption and platform engagement while rewarding community participation.
The successful transition from beta to mainnet represents a crucial milestone for the protocol, demonstrating its technical readiness and commitment to providing institutional-grade trading infrastructure within the decentralized finance ecosystem. The implementation of verifiable trading mechanisms sets new standards for transparency and security in perpetuals trading platforms.
