Lighter officially launches the Lighter Infrastructure Token (LIT), marking a milestone in its protocol roadmap and expanding its ecosystem initiatives.
Lighter has officially launched its native Lighter Infrastructure Token (LIT), following earlier disclosures about its role in the protocol. The Dec. 30 announcement on X confirmed the long-anticipated release, aligning with prior plans that include airdrops directly to user accounts, a 50% allocation to ecosystem and team, and the use of product income for growth and buybacks. Team tokens remain locked for one year with a three-year vesting schedule, and Layer 1 assets will be accepted as collateral under a universal margin system. A mobile app is also planned to enhance ecosystem accessibility.
