Intern notes from the latest @Lighter_xyz ama > There will be spaces in other languages as well. Vietnamese on the 21st, Korean on the 22nd then Chinese, Spanish and others to come > Retail users will keep paying zero fees even after private beta ends, HFT are now using a premium api paying 0.02/0.002% for maker/taker for lower latency > About 20 Market Makers have been integrated. No incentives, but support to integrate. Several hundreds waiting > There's a new block explorer in the works, will be done after private beta is wrapped up > "Community airdrop will be substantial", venture capital investments won't eat into this > Private beta will be ending in 3-5 weeks as audits are completed and remaining bugs fixed > Team open to hire, especially those with a background in cryptography and mobile app development. Reach out on Discord > S1 should wrap up soon. There'll be a S2, presumably shorter, including new primitives (spot?) > Timelines, including those for TGE (~Dec), are on track > RWA and Pre-launch markets coming in the next weeks. Spot in the next months, which is a prerequisite for Lighter's own token > Whilst zero fees for Spot haven't been confirmed, the goal remains to keep them as low as possible > By mid-2026 Lighter plans to add Options and other integrations leveraging its L2 and DeFi composability. Rumors of an @aave integration? Thanks @vnovakovski, @satoshiheist, @manud_p for hosting perp dex summer
