Constants will exchange simple initial operations LIT Token for 25% Airdrop.

Lighter, an Ethereum-based Layer-2 decentralized perpetual futures exchange, has launched its native asset, the Lighter Infrastructure Token (LIT), with 25% of its supply distributed through airdrops.

The group announced on the official X account on December 30, 2025. Layer now joins other decentralized finance (DeFi) networks with its own token initiative.

LIT Token will launch with a 25% Airdrop.

Leiter describes Thread Tokenomics in detail and uses generational token issues. The group stated that the supply of LIT is divided equally between the ecosystem, the group and the investors. Of the 50% allocated to ecology,

Sponsored 25% was airdropped by TGE (points S1 and S2). Lighter will retain the remaining 25% for future growth, including additional points periods, partnerships and ecosystem initiatives.

Leiter allocated the remaining 50% of the total offering to the group and investors. The group receives 26%, investors get 24%. All these signs are subject to a 1 year gap. Additionally, after the initial 1-year lockup, team and investor tokens will wear linearly over a 3-year period.

It's worth noting that many users report that they've welcomed the weather. Furthermore, the token went live for trading after the initial announcement. At the time of writing, LIT was trading at $2.45.

From a utility perspective, LIT is designed to support Lighter's extensive infrastructure stack. Holding a LIT gives participants access to products designed to improve execution quality, capital efficiency and risk-adjusted results.

“Our framework for the use of the LIT token is to consider how value is exchanged in the financial system and to build an infrastructure in which value is gathered into efficiency, transparency and innovation,” the team wrote.

At the infrastructure level, the LIT has a stake in participating in step-by-step execution and verification systems that ensure transactions are fair and accurate. In parallel, LIT acts as both a payment and staking token for market information and price confirmation, encouraging the provision of verified information for use in trading and risk management.

“The value created by all Leiner products and services will be fully collected for LIT containers. We are building it in the USA, and the token will be issued directly from our C-Corp, which will continue to operate the protocol at a price,” Leiter added.

The token's launch follows DX's $68 million fundraising round in November, valuing the project at $1.5 billion. Additionally, data from Defilama shows that the protocol's TVL reached an ATH of $1.456 billion in mid-December.
