Overview
- Total supply is split 50% to the ecosystem and 50% to team and investors, with 12.5 million 2025 points converted into tokens equal to 25% of fully diluted supply.
- Team allocations account for 26% and investor allocations 24% of supply, both locked for one year followed by three years of linear vesting.
- LIT functions beyond governance through staking requirements for higher execution and data‑verification tiers, plus fee payments for market data and price checks.
- Lighter says all protocol income will be visible on‑chain and may be directed to ecosystem programs or discretionary token buybacks based on conditions.
- Trading went live on the LIT‑USDC pair with early prices reported around $2.3–$2.6, the token secured a Coinbase spot listing and Bybit perpetuals, and Lighter recorded about $200 billion in 30‑day volume while leading the 7‑day tally but trailing Hyperliquid over 24 hours.
