Lighter (CRYPTO:LIT) triggered debate across DeFi after revealing its newly launched tokenomics.
The disclosure came as the perpetual decentralised exchange continues to rank among the fastest-growing platforms in the sector.
Under the published structure, half of LIT’s total supply is allocated to the ecosystem, while the other half is reserved for the team and investors.
The team and investor allocation is subject to a one-year cliff followed by a three-year linear vesting schedule.
Lighter confirmed that 25% of the total LIT supply had already been distributed through an airdrop linked to its first two points seasons.
The points programme ran throughout 2025 and generated a total of 12.5 million points.
These points were converted directly into LIT tokens and distributed to eligible users at launch.
The remaining 25% of the ecosystem allocation has been set aside for future points campaigns, partnerships and growth incentives.
