ABOUT LIGHTER

Lighter is a testnet-only environment that behaves like a high-performance L2 matching engine. It lets you exercise order flow, bots and integrations against realistic throughput and latency, without touching mainnet funds.

HOW IT WORKS
Step 1
Connect your wallet

Connect an EVM wallet to join the L2 testnet and generate a test address.

Step 2
Claim testnet funds

Use the claim portal to stream simulated liquidity to your wallet with one click.

Step 3
Stress-test flows

Send transfers, run bots, and plug into dapps to test execution and routing.

Step 4
Give feedback

Share logs and edge cases so we can harden the network before mainnet.

Scalable
Engineered for scale, processing tens of thousands of orders and cancels per second with millisecond latency.
Efficient
Infrastructure for matching orders and proving the correctness of the matching is highly optimized for low costs, allowing zero fees for retail traders and very competitive fees for high frequency traders.
Verifiable
Lighter strictly adheres to a publicly predefined set of rules. All operations including matching and liquidations are proven cryptographically and verified publicly on Ethereum.
Secure
Lighter uses Ethereum as the base layer for proofs and system state changes. Users can deposit or withdraw securely through Ethereum, with all proofs verified publicly.
