About Lighter DEX Perp

Lighter DEX Perp exists to help you get the most out of Lighter, the zero-fee perpetual DEX at lighter.xyz: pay less per trade, protect your positions, and collect every reward the exchange offers. The site is published by SixProsper. It is not the official app and is not operated by Lighter, Inc. or Elliot Technologies, Inc.

What you get here

Lighter moved fast in 2025 and 2026: invite-only beta, a public mainnet, a token launch, a Robinhood integration, a tokenomics overhaul and a burn. The official docs are accurate but terse, and most other coverage is promotional or out of date. Every page here turns the mechanics into decisions you can act on: what a feature saves or earns you, what it risks, and what to do next. Each page is dated, sourced, and clear about what is still unknown.

How every page is verified

  • Every fee, tier, ratio and date is checked against docs.lighter.xyz and apidocs.lighter.xyz before publishing.
  • Market data (volume, TVL, open interest, LIT price) is cited with the date it was observed and treated as a snapshot, never a live feed.
  • The product is tested first-hand: wallet connection, deposits, order types, the mobile app and the public API.
  • Where Lighter has not published something (airdrop timing, points conversion, exact volume weights) the page says so instead of guessing.
  • Each guide carries a last-updated date in its metadata. Report an error and it is fixed, with the change noted.
