【CryptoWorld】Latest News: The Ethereum-based perpetual contract trading protocol Lighter (LIT) is about to launch on a trading platform, and the LIT/USDT trading pair will be available.

According to the announcement, the LIT/USDT trading pair will go live on the Innovation Zone. Deposits are now open, and trading will commence at 09:30 on December 30, 2025 (UTC). Withdrawal functionality will be gradually enabled.

Regarding the Lighter protocol, it is an on-chain infrastructure specifically designed for perpetual contract trading. The protocol utilizes zero-knowledge proof technology to achieve scalability, security, transparency, and non-custodial features simultaneously. Transactions are executed quickly, with low spreads, and all trades can be verified on-chain while maintaining high throughput.

Interestingly, Lighter adopts a completely free strategy for retail users, while professional traders can choose paid features for additional advantages. This differentiated design reflects the protocol’s consideration of different user needs. The platform emphasizes capital efficiency and high trading volume capacity, making it suitable for users seeking more trading opportunities.

Retail investors free? Now this is interesting, finally a contract agreement that remembers us small retail investors. Wait, launching only at the end of the year? We have to wait that long? LIT is just hyping up expectations. Zero-knowledge proof combined with perpetual contracts, this combo sounds promising, but let's see how it performs after launch. Almost thought it was another tool for big players to harvest, but unexpectedly it's free for retail investors. This idea is a bit counterintuitive. Another perpetual contract? The competition in this track is really fierce. I wonder if Lighter can break through. On-chain verification, low spreads, sounds good, but in reality, leverage liquidation still happens just as fast. Launching in the Innovation Zone? Let's just try it out there first, anyway, no fees.

Zero-knowledge proofs sound impressive, but can they really reduce spreads? Wait, retail investors get free professional paid services? That's an interesting trick. Launching on December 30th? Time to queue up for deposits again. Will it get stuck this time? There are so many perpetual contract protocols, why can Lighter stand out from the crowd? Let's see its actual performance. On-chain verification sounds great, but liquidity is the key. Free strategies sound good, but in the end, it's still about finding other ways to charge fees. The ETH ecosystem has another contract protocol, and the competition is getting fierce.

Another Yonghe is about to go live. The fact that retail investors can participate for free is somewhat interesting, but I wonder how the real experience will be. The Innovation Zone is just the Innovation Zone; anyway, let's try it first and see. Zero-knowledge proofs are hyped up so much; whether they can run stably is another matter. Launching at the end of December, and you're already starting to recharge now? That's a bit rushed. Yonghe is risky; leverage can easily lead to liquidation. Free for retail investors is just a gimmick; the depth of the market is what really matters. The claim of low spreads is pretty vague; let's see how it performs during actual trading. Non-custodial sounds good, but the gas fees on the ETH ecosystem are quite high.

New protocol again, can it really be effective this time? Feels like new ones are launched every month. Free for retail investors? I always feel like there's no such thing as a free lunch... Zero-knowledge proofs + non-custodial sounds good, but how does it work in practice? Trading starts on December 30th, let's wait and see, no rush. Is the new contract trend still just another way to cut the leeks? Has anyone used it? Share your thoughts. Is the low spread truly low or just a marketing gimmick? Perpetual contracts are just gambling, no matter how good the protocol is, the risk remains. Looks like big influencers are about to hype it up again...

Deposits are already open By the way, what’s the current price of the LIT token...

Retail investors get free access? Now it's finally possible, there's an agreement that doesn't exploit small investors. It's another ZK proof, the competition in perpetual contracts is getting more intense. Trading starts on December 30th, the timing is quite tight. The low spread as a selling point is a bit questionable; we'll see the real situation then. Free access is very friendly to small players like us, just worried that professional teams might have some hidden advantages.

Zero-knowledge proof is zero-knowledge proof again... This time, can it really lower the spread or is it just hype? Wait, retail investors get it for free? How does this deal make money? I'm still cautious about the coins on the innovation zone, let's wait until December 30th. Damn, another perpetual contract? How many protocols need to be stacked in this track to be satisfied? Is it just about low spreads? How do you ensure depth?
