Speculation around a potential Lighter token airdrop intensified after traders on Polymarket priced an 86% probability of a launch before the end of 2025.
Lighter, a decentralised perpetual futures exchange, has drawn heightened attention as it positions itself as a major competitor to Hyperliquid in the fast-growing perp DEX market.
Market optimism accelerated after Hyperliquid listed the yet-to-be-generated LIT token against USDC, despite no official token generation event having taken place.
A core contributor to Lighter, Sebas, also known as Babastianj, said the protocol was completing final preparations ahead of its long-anticipated token launch.
“We’re in the final stretch of Season 2 and are running data science to remove Sybil, self-trading, and wash-trading points,” Sebas said.
He added that all slashed and removed points are expected to be redistributed back to the community, reinforcing confidence among active platform users.
Lighter opened an optional airdrop allocation form allowing eligible participants to distribute tokens across up to four additional wallets.
