Important points
- Hyperliquid has listed its LIT token for pre-market trading.
- Lighter has grown rapidly since its mainnet launch in October and is positioning itself as a serious challenger to Hyperliquid.
Hyperliquid has added LIT, the native token of competing perpetual exchange Lighter, to its pre-market contract trading platform.
Lighter is a zero-knowledge rollup-based perpetual derivatives DEX built on Ethereum Layer 2. The platform launched its public mainnet on October 1, 2025, following a private beta launched in January. Since its launch, it has become one of the most active perpetual platforms and has emerged as a direct competitor to Hyperliquid.
