Lighter was founded by former AI entrepreneur Vladimir Novakovski.

Lighter officially launched its public mainnet for all users after concluding an eight-month private beta period.

Lighter announced it had raised $68 million in a funding round valuing the company at $1.5 billion, with lead investors including Founders Fund and Ribbit Capital.

The platform expanded its services beyond perpetual futures by introducing spot trading, starting with an Ethereum (ETH) market.

Lighter conducted its Token Generation Event (TGE) for its native LIT token and airdropped 25% of the total supply to early users who participated in its points programs.
