Lighter has announced the launch of its own Lighter Infrastructure Token (LIT). The company presents it as a key part of its long-term vision to build financial infrastructure that connects traditional finance and decentralized finance.
The announcement was made on the project's official X account on December 30, 2025.

According to the announcement, Lighter stated that all the value generated by the company's products and services directly accrues to LIT token holders. The project is being implemented in the United States, and the token is issued directly through Lighter's C-Corp company, which maintains the protocol at cost price.
According to the team, this structure is designed to ensure transparency and unify the incentives among users, developers, and investors.
"The revenues from our core product, the DEX, as well as future products and services can be tracked in real-time on the blockchain and are distributed between growth and buybacks according to market conditions. We are long-term builders, and the goal is to maximize long-term value creation," the publication stated.
The supply of the LIT token is evenly distributed among the ecosystem, the team, and investors. The LIT token serves as the foundation for Lighter's broader infrastructure.
Token holders gain access to financial products aimed at providing risk-adjusted returns, more efficient execution, and better capital efficiency. The execution and validation of events are organized through a layered infrastructure, and access levels and decentralization increase with LIT staking.
