L2Beat has successfully regenerated all zero-knowledge (ZK) circuits for Lighter's perpetual decentralized exchange (DEX) L2, including the Lighter verifier and Lighter Desert verifier. This development allows for truly permissionless emergency exits, enabling users to independently generate ZK proofs of their L2 account state and withdraw funds on Layer 1 (L1) through the Desert verifier, even in cases of sequencer failure or malicious activity. This move addresses previous criticisms, such as those from Solana co-founder Toly, who likened Lighter to a centralized exchange (CEX).
