Lighter OTC points are trading around $120
Implied FDV = $5B+
Competitor Benchmarking: Aster vs. Hyperliquid
⤼ Aster – If Lighter matches Aster’s FDV, each point could be worth around $250.
⤼ Hyperliquid – If it reaches Hyperliquid’s scale, each point could value near $700.
I see these projections as benchmarks, and given Lighter’s trajectory, they’re within striking distance
Let's take it from the top... 👇
‣ The Lighter Points System & Airdrop
The Lighter Points Program rewards organic activity - trading, referrals, and liquidity provision.
Season 1 (Private Beta, ended Sept 30, 2025): 3.4M+ points distributed.
Season 2 (Oct–Dec 2025): 250K+ points weekly; 9M+ total issued with ~10 weeks left for 2.5M more.
How to earn:
𝓪. Trade perps and spot pairs.
𝓫. Refer your guys (up to 3x multipliers).
𝓬. Provide liquidity via LLP for yield + bonus points.
Points are trading OTC at ~$100 - 120 each, implying a $4 - 5B FDV.
→ If valued like Aster, 1 pt ≈ $250.
→ If valued like Hyperliquid, 1 pt ≈ $700.
Most expect a TGE in Q4 2025, where points convert into $LIGHT tokens.
‣ Step-by-Step: How to Farm the Airdrop
ⅰ. Go to → Start Trading.
ⅱ. Connect a wallet (MetaMask, Zerion, WalletConnect).
ⅲ. Deposit USDC from Ethereum, Arbitrum, or Base.
ⅳ. Trade pairs like $ETH-PERP or $MON-PERP (no fees).
ⅴ. Refer your friends and foes (unlock at 100 pts).
ⅵ. Add liquidity to LLP pools for passive yield.
Track on and stay active till EOY 2025.
💡 My advice: Aim for 5K+ points to secure top-tier airdrop eligibility.
Lighter is an @arbitrum-based Perp and Spot DEX that leverages zero-knowledge proofs for secure and verifiable trading.

‣ Upcoming Updates
