PerpFinder is not Lighter and is not affiliated with or endorsed by it. We do not connect wallets, check eligibility, process token distributions, accept deposits, or distribute tokens. Never enter a password, seed phrase, or private key on PerpFinder. Historical distributions do not prove that a future airdrop will occur.

Method	Details
LIT Staking	LIT staking (live since 2026-01-28) pays from the ecosystem reserve — around a 6% APR target from July 2026, with a 3-day unstake delay. No points attach.
LLP Vault & Liquidity	The LLP market-making vault takes USDC and requires staking 1 LIT per 10 LLP; a Liquidity Partner Program (from 2026-04-13) pays roughly $250k weekly, RWA-weighted.

Full Lighter review

Status note (2026-07-05): Points ended at the 2025-12-30 TGE. A Season 3 is teased (25% of the fully diluted value is reserved for future points seasons) but has not launched as of 2026-07-05 — treat "next Lighter airdrop" dates as rumor. Daily-fee buybacks began burning LIT around 2026-07-01, and Robinhood Chain picked Lighter as its native perp DEX. Points may never convert to tokens. The team sets any conversion ratio at distribution time. Never trade solely to farm an airdrop.
