Lighter (LIGHTER) has made new progress in its perpetual contract trading protocol. A compliant platform announced that once liquidity conditions are met, LIGHTER spot trading will be opened, covering all regions that support LIGHTER-USD trading pairs.

Lighter is essentially an order book trading infrastructure built for the Ethereum ecosystem — scalable, fully non-custodial, and on-chain verifiable. This solution is quite interesting; compared to many DEXs' AMM models, it uses real order book logic for perpetual contracts, and the entire trading process is executed in a decentralized manner. The launch on a major platform signifies that this kind of innovative trading protocol is beginning to approach the mainstream market. For the Ethereum DeFi ecosystem, it adds another pathway to reach a broader user base.

Order book perpetuals? How's this approach, can it really be smoother than AMM? --- Approved by compliant platforms, it feels like LIGHTER is about to take off --- It's always the same story after liquidity is achieved... this kind of excuse is getting tired haha --- Non-custodial on-chain verification sounds great, but I'm worried it might be a different story in actual use --- ETH ecosystem has more players now, competition is getting fiercer --- Is it reliable to join big platforms this time, or is it just hype? --- Order book mode is indeed more transparent than AMM, I like this idea

Order book systems are indeed much more attractive than AMMs. Finally, a major platform is willing to get involved.

Another order book narrative has emerged. Will this time work? Alright, logging into a major platform at least shows that someone believes. The ETH ecosystem needs this kind of thing. Wait, when will the liquidity conditions be met? It still sounds like a distant hope.

Placing the order book logic on-chain is indeed an interesting retrospection—it's a bit like re-examining the classical form of exchanges. However, whether the liquidity condition hurdle can truly be overcome remains to be seen.

The order book gameplay is indeed more comfortable than AMM. I'm just worried that once it gets on a big platform, it will be exploited again.

orderbook model finally getting its moment, though let's be honest—most retail still won't know what they're trading. the "non-custodial" angle is cute until liquidity fragments across seventeen platforms. ethereum defi doesn't need more infrastructure, it needs fewer failed experiments surviving on hype.
