What is LIT?
About Lighter
LIT (Lighter Infrastructure Token) is the governance and utility token of Lighter, a decentralised perpetual futures exchange built as an application-specific zero-knowledge (ZK) rollup on Ethereum. Every order match and liquidation on Lighter is verified by ZK proofs — traders receive cryptographic confirmation that the matching engine followed the protocol rules, not a trust-based assertion. Lighter charges zero fees for retail traders; institutional flow funds protocol revenue. Lighter was integrated into Robinhood Wallet as a trading venue in July 2026. LIT launched on December 30, 2025.
LIT tokenomics
Lighter issued a fixed total supply of 1 billion LIT with no inflation mechanism. As of October 2026, only 250 million LIT — 25% of total supply — are in circulation, consisting entirely of the initial airdrop to Season 1 and Season 2 trading participants. All remaining tokens are locked, according to Tokenomist.
Total supply — 1,000,000,000 LIT; hard cap, no minting beyond this ceiling
Circulating supply — 250,000,000 LIT (25%) as of October 2026; only the initial community airdrop has entered circulation
Initial airdrop — 25% (250M LIT) distributed directly to eligible Season 1 and Season 2 participants on December 30, 2025, with no vesting or claim process
Ecosystem reserve — 25% allocated for future trading seasons, partnerships, and ecosystem incentives, including $11M in LIT committed for Robinhood traders following the July 2026 integration
Team allocation — 26% subject to a 1-year cliff ending in December 2026, then 3-year linear vesting through December 2029
Investor allocation — 24% on the same schedule: cliff in December 2026, then 3-year linear vesting
Buyback and burn — protocol revenue from trading fees funds open-market LIT buybacks; from June 30, 2026, buybacks result in permanent burns rather than treasury accumulation; on June 30, 2026 Lighter said it had bought back about 15.5 million LIT and would burn it, according to BeInCrypto
December 2026 cliff — 500M insider tokens (team + investors) begin unlocking in December 2026 at approximately 3.2 million LIT per week, according to Unlocks.app analysis
What determines LIT's value
LIT's primary demand driver is perpetuals trading volume on Lighter: every institutional trade generates fee revenue that flows into LIT buybacks and burns. On-chain perpetuals monthly volume exceeded $1 trillion in October 2025, according to DefiLlama data reported by Cointelegraph, with Lighter capturing measurable market share alongside Hyperliquid. The Robinhood Wallet integration in July 2026 extended Lighter's distribution to Robinhood's retail user base, adding a new volume source distinct from the existing institutional and API-driven flow.
The December 2026 insider cliff is the defining near-term supply variable: 500 million team and investor LIT — double the current circulating supply — begins unlocking on a single date. Post-cliff weekly vesting of approximately 3.2 million LIT significantly exceeds the current buyback-driven burn rate, shifting net supply dynamics from deflationary to inflationary unless protocol revenue scales proportionally.

Frequently Asked Questions About Lighter (LIT)
Lighter is an application-specific zero-knowledge rollup on Ethereum for perpetual futures. Every order match and liquidation is verified by ZK proofs, so traders get cryptographic confirmation that the matching engine followed the protocol rules.
It charges zero fees for retail traders. Institutional flow funds protocol revenue.
25% (250 million LIT) went directly to eligible Season 1 and Season 2 trading participants on December 30, 2025, with no vesting or claim process.
25% is an ecosystem reserve for future trading seasons, partnerships, and incentives, 26% is the team allocation, and 24% is the investor allocation. Team and investor tokens share a cliff in December 2026 and then vest linearly for 3 years.
About 500 million team and investor LIT begin unlocking, at roughly 3.2 million LIT per week according to Unlocks.app. That is double the current circulating supply, so it is the main supply event to watch.
Since June 30, 2026, repurchased LIT is permanently burned instead of kept in treasury. Lighter said on June 30, 2026 that it had bought back about 15.5 million LIT and would burn it, according to BeInCrypto.
Weekly vesting of about 3.2 million LIT significantly exceeds the current burn rate. Net supply turns inflationary unless protocol revenue scales proportionally.
Since July 2026 Lighter is available as a trading venue in Robinhood Wallet, which gives it access to Robinhood's retail users. Lighter set aside 11 million LIT for Robinhood traders, according to The Defiant.
Its TVL and open interest change with market activity, so check a live tracker such as DefiLlama for current figures.

Lighter (LIT) is the token of Lighter, a decentralised perpetual futures exchange built as an application-specific zero-knowledge rollup on Ethereum. Lighter runs a central limit order book in which every match, margin check, and liquidation is verified by a zk-SNARK proof posted to Ethereum mainnet, and user funds sit in Ethereum smart contracts rather than in company wallets. LIT launched on December 30, 2025 with a fixed total supply of 1,000,000,000 tokens and no inflation beyond that cap. As of October 2026, CoinGecko listed LIT near $3.02, with a market capitalisation of about $754 million.
A lit exchange is a trading venue that displays its order book publicly before trades execute, so anyone can see the resting bids and offers, their prices, and their sizes. The New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq are lit venues. In trading language, “lit” describes visible liquidity: a lit order is one posted where the market can see it, and lit volume is volume that traded against displayed quotes. Price discovery happens mainly on lit venues, because the published quotes are what other participants and pricing systems reference.
The difference is pre-trade transparency rather than legality. A lit venue publishes its quotes before execution, so the market sees the price and size on offer. A dark pool accepts orders without displaying them, matches them internally, and reports the trade only after it executes. In the United States dark pools operate as alternative trading systems registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under Regulation ATS, and FINRA publishes their volume data after the fact. The trade-off: lit venues deliver better price discovery, dark pools reduce the market impact of a large order.
A dark pool trade is an order matched inside a venue that displays no pre-trade quotes, then reported to the consolidated tape after execution. Institutional desks use them to move large blocks without signalling intent, because posting a large order on a lit book invites other participants to trade ahead of it and shift the price. The buyer and seller still settle normally and the trade still appears in public trade reporting. What stays hidden is the intention before execution, not the transaction itself.
Lighter runs a lit order book and pushes further than most: order matching and liquidations are cryptographically proven rather than merely displayed, with proofs posted to Ethereum mainnet. That makes it the structural opposite of a dark pool. Swapzone is neither. Swapzone is a non-custodial (meaning Swapzone holds no user funds) crypto exchange aggregator that compares quotes from exchange partners for a single wallet-to-wallet exchange, with no order book, no leverage, and no position to manage. Swapzone compares swap offers for the LIT token itself rather than perpetual contracts traded on Lighter.
Only 25% of LIT circulates. The December 30, 2025 airdrop released 250,000,000 LIT to participants in Points Seasons 1 and 2 with no vesting, and that remains the only allocation unlocked. Team and investor allocations, together 50% of supply at 26% and 24%, sit behind a one-year cliff ending December 27, 2026, followed by three years of linear vesting into late 2029. A separate 25% ecosystem reserve carries no published release schedule. On the other side, Lighter directs part of protocol revenue to open-market LIT buybacks, reaching $17.9 million cumulatively since the token launch.
Swapzone charges a 0% platform fee on LIT exchanges. Two costs remain: the exchange partner's service fee, already priced into the rate shown in the offer, and the Ethereum gas fee you pay to move the ERC-20 token out of your wallet, which rises when the network is congested. LIT recorded roughly $73 million in 24 hour volume in October 2026, according to CoinGecko, deep enough that quotes across partners should sit reasonably close. Compare the net receiving amount rather than stated fee percentages, because each partner prices its margin into the quoted rate differently.

The site experience was great. But choose your exchange platform wisely.
The site experience was great, as on previous occasions. I made a mistake, however, by choosing a different exchange provider, EasyBit, and the result was much worse than I was given to expect. Changelly was the best before and I will choose that option in future.

Unstaking ONT without having ONG
My problem was to unstake ONT in my wallet which I administrate with the Exodus software without having ONG for gas fee. The swapping function in Exodus is no longer available and they will suspend the support of Ontology soon. By means of the fantastic swapzone-node I was able now to swap TRX into ONG and receive the ONG directly at my adress of ONT-asset. So I was able to start the unstaking procedure. And one more advantage: The swapping of TRX to ONG and sending it to the ONG-adress was quite simple for beginners like me: I'm used to krypto ledger, but this was my first experience with swapping-nodes.
Great service with great support!
not so long ago I was looking for a service that allows you to exchange cryptocurrency quickly and effortlessly. today, when I once again decided to exchange usdt to eth - I wrote the wrong wallet, namely the wallet from the last exchange (incorrectly indicated the amount), to which the usdt should have been sent. after contacting support, I was almost immediately refunded, which I am very happy about! I recommend using this service! 100/100
Very competitive pricing and fast support - great!
I used swapzone.io over 10 times recently and never had an issue. In fact, I had once a visual bug of the swap interface when the funds were sent but it was correct again the second I started a chat with support. In less than 2 minutes I had a very friendly employee talking to me. Very competitive pricing and fast support.
everything was fine
i successfully exchanged currencies. it took just a couple of minutes
everything is in one place
I'm new to cryptocurrency, and I'm always frightened by the choice of services. I really liked that everything is in one place here, and you can choose from familiar names and compare prices between them. The exchange took place fast and without any problems.
I tried swapping nearly $1000 worth of
I tried swapping nearly $1000 worth of bitcoin with the cake app four different times this evening and it wouldn’t work. Thankfully, their support was able to give me my money back quick and I was able to come here and I found an even better rate than what I got with cake. This will probably be my new go to crypto swapping platform. 100 out of 10 recommend and you can order with confidence :-)
Trusted !

Easy to understand terminal, quick transaction. A bit of slippage on promised rate compared to what received - not sure why, as prices haven't changed by that percentage.

I wanted to share my experience after encountering a failed transaction earlier today. I contacted support, and the team was incredibly fast in getting back to me. They understood the problem immediately and helped me through the recovery process efficiently. It's situations like this that really show why prompt customer service is essential on an exchange. The quick resolution meant I didn't have to worry for long. Your help was much appreciated!

Honestly in this industry it’s hard to fbb in f great costed service but Liam at swapzone handled an issue for me and solved it and no bs just helping me out. Thank you. My first time using swap zone to swap crypto was great and I’ll be back now .
Read this carefully
Works every time and helps to find the best deal. Is what I would say if I wanted to leave regular review. What I am going to say is that this service is unmatched in crypto sphere how they handle their business. I sent crypto to a swap in 2 transactions instead of one(my mistake) and when I opened the chat and explained my issue they contacted the parter doing the swap and gave me option to get a refund or continue with the swap at the current rate. Others would just keep it of tell you its lost. So not only they help you find the swaps but they act as a liaison if there are issues.
perfect service
perfect service. great support. I can wholeheartedly recommend this service. The support is fast, helpful, and solution-oriented. You won't find that with other Exchange services. A++++ thanks
