Lighter has announced a new staking mechanism requiring users to stake LIT tokens to access LLP allocations. Each LIT token covers 10 USDC worth of LLP, and any excess allocation will be gradually returned to users. Starting January 30, up to 3% or 100 USDC of the uncovered amount will be returned daily, directly added to users' USDC balances. This initiative aims to align the interests of LIT stakers and LLP holders, with distribution quotas now verifiable through zero-knowledge proof circuits. In two weeks, traders will be able to use LLP as collateral, enhancing the capital efficiency of the Lighter platform. This development is expected to increase the practical utility of both LLP and staked LIT, offering improved financial operations for users.
