Overview
- Lighter converted 12.5 million 2025 points into LIT for an immediate 25% supply airdrop, with the remaining ecosystem pool reserved for future incentives.
- Half of total supply goes to the ecosystem and half to insiders, with team (26%) and investor (24%) allocations locked for one year and vesting linearly over three years.
- The token underpins staking-based access tiers, execution and data services, and fee payments, positioning LIT as operational infrastructure rather than a pure governance asset.
- LIT is trading around $2.6 after listings that include Coinbase spot and Bybit perpetuals, with activity data showing strong usage despite differing tracker totals.
- DefiLlama shows roughly $200 billion in 30‑day volume for Lighter while a Dune-based tracker puts its 7‑day average near $2.7 billion; CoinGecko and Bubblemaps data cited the airdrop’s value near $675 million, ranking among the largest to date.
