Lighter has officially launched its Ethereum Layer 2 public mainnet after an eight-month private beta phase. The protocol is designed to offer low-cost, low-latency perpetual trading through custom zero-knowledge (ZK) circuits, which facilitate verifiable matching and liquidation processes. In conjunction with the mainnet launch, Lighter has initiated Season 2 of its points program, which will continue until the end of 2025. The company plans to introduce additional earning mechanisms during this period, enhancing user engagement and participation.
