Notes and record state
Record note
Current first-party documentation identifies Lighter as a decentralized exchange with verifiable order matching and liquidations, perpetual futures, spot markets, wallet-linked accounts, subaccounts, and a mainnet API. Current independent exchange and protocol metrics report substantial non-zero perpetual volume, open interest, spot volume, TVL, fees, and active addresses. HEI models Lighter Perps and Lighter Spot as products of one protocol-level exchange entity rather than separate entities. An exact public launch date and legal jurisdiction are not asserted.
