Built by a Trader,
for Traders

Hey - I'm Concept211, the person behind Lighterpedia. I'm an active perpetual-futures trader, bot developer, and crypto native who got tired of seeing low-quality, misleading content dominating search results for Lighter DEX.

I trade Lighter's zero-fee, fully verifiable ZK order book daily — from crypto perps and up to 50x leverage to spot, RWAs, and the pre-IPO markets. I've spent thousands of hours figuring out how the points program works, how the LIT token fits in, and how Lighter proves its order matching and liquidations on-chain, so you don't have to. I also build and run automated trading bots on the Lighter API, including delta-neutral strategies and market-making scripts — so when I write about API limits, order execution, or funding rates, it's from firsthand experience, not secondhand research.

Too many “guide” sites are either thinly-veiled affiliate pages with no real substance, or outdated content that doesn't reflect how Lighter actually works today. I built this site to be the resource I wished existed when I started.

My Mission

Write the Lighter reference I wanted when I started: every number sourced and dated, or left out with a note saying why. Guides come from actually using the product and are checked against Lighter's own documentation. This site is not run by Lighter, has no relationship with the companies behind it, and says so on every page.

Full Transparency

This site is funded by Lighter's referral program. When you sign up through our referral link with code LIGHTERPEDIA, per Lighter's own referral documentation (read 14 August 2026), two things happen:

• You are offered one week of Premium free, with the trading fees you pay that week rebated on the first $10M of volume. Lighter calls all rebates discretionary. Standard accounts trade at 0% maker and taker regardless.
• I earn a share of the gross trading fees you pay — 10% to 30% depending on tier — at no additional cost to you

That is a commercial arrangement, not an affiliation. Lighter has no say in what appears here, and no page rating on this site is for sale. See the full disclaimer.

Lighter is already zero-fee, so there is no fee discount to give — the referral is purely about points. It costs you nothing extra and gives you a head start, so there's no reason not to use it. I believe in being upfront about this relationship - it's what builds trust.

How We Research and Verify Guides

Every guide on this site is tested on the live Lighter platform before it gets published. I don't write about features I haven't used myself — whether that's a deposit flow, an order type, the points program, or a pre-IPO market, the steps you see have been walked through with actual funds on the line.

Platform specs and mechanics are cross-referenced against Lighter's official documentation and verified using live app data where possible. Details like leverage caps, market coverage, and token mechanics are confirmed at the source — not copied from third-party articles. Where the timing or value of the airdrop is unknown, we frame it as an estimate rather than a promise.

Lighter evolves fast, so guides are reviewed and updated on an ongoing basis as the platform ships new features, adjusts the points program, or changes its UI. If you spot a factual error or outdated detail, reach out via the contact section below — corrections are prioritized and typically resolved within 24 hours.
