Lighter announced the launch of its own token, the 'Lighter Infrastructure Token (LIT)'. The company positions it as an asset that plays a central role in building financial infrastructure that bridges traditional finance and decentralized finance.
This was announced on December 30, 2025, on the official project X account.
Lighter announced the LIT token
According to the announcement, Lighter plans to directly return all value generated from its products and services to LIT holders. The project is based in the United States, and the tokens will be issued directly by Lighter's C-Corp, which will continue to operate the protocol at cost in the future.
This mechanism aims to align incentives among users, developers, and investors while ensuring transparency.
The revenue from core products such as DEX and products and services planned for future deployment can be tracked in real time on-chain and allocated to growth investment and buybacks according to market conditions. Our company builds with a long-term perspective, with the ultimate goal of maximizing long-term value.
LIT is designed to be distributed equally among the ecosystem, team, and investors. LIT plays a role in supporting the comprehensive infrastructure foundation of Lighter.
Token holders can access financial products that enhance realized risk-adjusted returns, execution capability, and capital efficiency. Transaction execution and verification are managed by a hierarchical infrastructure, and access levels and decentralization expand according to LIT staking.
