Lighter plans TGE later this year – what we know about the project's tokenomics

Project Lighter is entering a critical phase, and recent disclosures regarding its native token LIT bring clarity to the community. As the marketing manager announced, TGE and airdrop are scheduled for 2025, with the airdrop constituting a significant portion of the allocation for users.

Airdrop without lock-up – directly to wallets

The most important news for Lighter points holders is that the airdrop, with no additional conditions, will be sent directly to their addresses. One-quarter of the total LIT token supply will be allocated for this distribution, and claiming rewards will require no formalities or registration. This is a decidedly liberal approach compared to many projects that typically implement lock-up mechanisms or KYC requirements.

Tokenomics: 50% for the community, buyback on the horizon

Within Lighter’s tokenomics structure, half of the total supply has been reserved for community members. Detailed distribution parameters will be revealed gradually, indicating a well-thought-out communication strategy for the project. Additionally, the team is considering conducting a token buyback, although the exact size of this program has not yet been disclosed. Such a mechanism aims to improve the token’s fundamental value by reducing the available supply on the market.

LIT on the Lighter platform – and then further

Trading of LIT will be initiated directly on the Lighter platform, creating a direct link between the token and the user ecosystem. At the same time, the first exchange has already added LIT to its roadmap, with Lighter not funding the listing – this is a natural step driven by market interest.

No official NFTs, mobile app in development

The project clearly states that it will not issue official NFTs under its own branding. However, the community has the opportunity to support initiatives like Fuego or other unofficial collections. At the same time, discussions about airdrops of meme coins are unfounded – these are just rumors.

The future outlook is quite realistic: Lighter is working on a mobile app, with the ambition to compete with commercial CEX platforms. This shows that the project is thinking not only about tokenomics but about the entire value proposition for the user.
