SECURITY ARCHITECTURE

ZK-proven. Ethereum-secured.

Lighter is the only perp DEX where every order match, liquidation, and balance update is cryptographically proven on Ethereum. Not just fast — verifiable.

CUSTOM ZK CIRCUITS

Purpose-built zero-knowledge circuits encode the exact rules of order matching, margin checks, and liquidations. A valid proof cannot be generated if any rule was violated — mathematically impossible.

PRICE-TIME PRIORITY PROOF

The circuit verifies that the correct maker — determined by time priority — was selected for every fill. No sequencer can secretly favor a preferred market maker. The proof enforces fairness.

ETHEREUM CUSTODY

User funds are held in Ethereum L1 smart contracts. Lighter never has custody. If the sequencer stops, you can exit directly through Ethereum after a 14-day waiting period — no permission needed.

PUBLICLY AUDITED

Lighter's ZK circuits have been independently audited by ZKSecurity. All audit reports are publicly available at docs.lighter.xyz. The protocol operates under a predefined, immutable ruleset.
