Lighter goes live with its own L2.
DEX hits $7B daily volume, TGE set for year’s end.
After eight months of beta, the perpetuals DEX Lighter, running on Arbitrum, just lit up its own L2 network — powered by ZK tech. And here’s the kicker: it’s already the #3 DEX by daily perp volume at $7B, only behind Hyperliquid and Aster. That’s insane traction for something still fresh out of testing.
The plan now? A Token Generation Event (TGE) by the end of 2025. You can bet speculators are already circling like seagulls on the beach — waiting for that first distribution wave.
For me, this launch confirms a trend: perp DEXs aren’t just niche experiments anymore, they’re becoming true liquidity magnets. The fact that Lighter could carve out third place before even going mainnet tells you how hungry the market is for alternatives beyond CEXs.
Now the big question: can they sustain this heat once the token is out and the farming frenzy begins? Or will it fade like so many hyped launches? En tout cas, I’ll be watching closely.
