The Lighter team recently made a big move: their zk circuit audit for perpetual and spot trading has finally been completed, and the code has been officially open-sourced. In simple terms, it means that the verification logic is now transparent.

The key point is—users can now independently verify every operation on Lighter's Ethereum L2 by reviewing the complete verification code. Whether your order was truly placed, if a cancellation was genuinely executed, or if liquidation was compliant... all can be checked step by step. Developers can directly pull scripts from GitHub to build and generate verification processes themselves.

This approach is actually quite rare. Zero-knowledge proofs are inherently a technical barrier at the L2 layer, and being able to fully open-source the circuit code for community review shows that the team has confidence in their implementation. The higher the transparency, the greater the user confidence. For developers wanting to deeply understand L2 verification mechanisms, this is also a valuable learning resource.
