Coinbase, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the United States, plans to list the Lighter (LIT) token, which became a hot topic with its launch today.
Lighter, an Ethereum-based layer 2 decentralized exchange (DEX) focused on perpetual futures, today announced the launch of its native altcoin, Lighter Infrastructure Token (LIT).
The supply of LIT tokens was split evenly, with 50% allocated to the ecosystem and 50% to the team and investors. A significant portion of the ecosystem share was immediately distributed to reward early participants. Therefore, the 12.5 million points earned in 2025 were instantly converted into LIT tokens and awarded as airdrops. This allocation represents 25% of the fully diluted value (FDV) of the project.
The remaining ecosystem stake will be used to fund future rewards programs, strategic partnerships, and expansion plans. The 26% allocated to the Lighter team and 24% allocated to investors will be locked for one year and then subject to a three-year linear vesting process.
