Lighter TGE is coming: the official release of important information, Token economics and governance rights are gradually emerging

Less than a week to go until Lighter TGE, and this highly anticipated project is finally revealing more details to the community. Based on official statements on social media and community leader shares, preliminary answers have been provided regarding token issuance timing, distribution mechanisms, future plans, and other key issues.

TGE Date Confirmed, Market Expectations Optimistic

The Lighter team has explicitly confirmed that TGE will be completed before the end of this year. Interestingly, on on-chain prediction markets, the probability of Lighter completing TGE by December 31st is as high as 91%, reflecting community confidence in the official schedule.

Token is not Equity, Fees Reflow to Ecosystem Growth

Regarding the economic design of $LIT, the team emphasizes an important distinction: LIT is neither an equity token nor a dividend token. This means that fees generated from transactions are not directly distributed to token holders but are fully reflowed into the protocol itself for ecosystem expansion, product growth, and most importantly—the token buyback mechanism. This design differs significantly from traditional dividend models.

Distribution Plan Public, Investors Locked for Three Years

The specifics of Tokenomics have not been fully disclosed yet, but the overall framework has been finalized. The first airdrop will distribute 25% of the total supply, with an additional 25% reserved for future multiple rounds of airdrops. All investors are required to adhere to a 3-year unlock period. According to the latest data, the total supply of LIT is 1 billion, with a current circulating supply of 250 million, 24-hour trading volume approximately $2.34 million, a market cap of $594 million, and a current price of $2.38.

High-Frequency Trading Not Considered as Witches, Points for Token Exchange Details Pending

Regarding community concerns about whether high-frequency trading is considered a witch attack, the team responded clearly: manual high-frequency trading is considered normal trading behavior and will not be deemed abnormal. However, the official has not yet provided a specific answer on how many $LIT$ are exchanged per 1 point; this information will be announced later.

Community Voice Valued in Ecosystem Rights Design

What rights will token holders have in the future? The official states that they are collecting community feedback through a series of interviews, hoping users clearly express what specific rights they need, and then the team will maximize token empowerment. As for the token buyback plan, details cannot be disclosed yet; related announcements will be made later.

Post-TGE Product Roadmap: Liquidity Incentives in Q3, New Features Launch in Q1

What is the outlook after TGE? The team revealed a specific roadmap—launching liquidity incentives in Q3. Moving into Q1, the team plans to introduce a unified leverage margin mechanism, and mobile app and prediction market features are also on the schedule. However, due to the large workload, the exact timeline cannot be locked in yet, but the team aims to complete it within the next year.

Exchange Listing Strategy Cautious, No Authorized Exchange Withdrawal

Regarding exchange listings, the team has consistently maintained that they do not proactively pay listing fees to any platform. Although some exchanges may decide to list independently, the key point is that users cannot withdraw tokens from these platforms, which fundamentally eliminates selling pressure risks.

Compliance Progress Steady, Developers Actively Communicate with Regulators

On the legal front, project founder Vlad has made multiple face-to-face visits to Washington to communicate with regulatory agencies and maintains active dialogue with the US government’s digital asset working group. Before TGE, Lighter has actively promoted legal framework construction and compliance work. Additionally, the founder has engaged with teams from several well-known institutions on token-related topics.

No Hidden Mechanisms, Distribution Fully Transparent

Some community members are concerned about the existence of undisclosed reward mechanisms or hidden gameplay. The official response is very straightforward: no. There are no special privileges based on identity or role, nor are there behind-the-scenes distribution plans; the entire distribution process is fully transparent and fair.
