Lighter confirms TGE in 2025: 25% of the supply will be in the hands of the community

Lighter recently announced strategic details about its upcoming token LIT. A representative from the Lighter team revealed during an informational session that the token launch and extensive distribution program are scheduled for 2025.

Distribution and Airdrop Conditions

The distribution program will be a key initiative. According to the disclosed plan, the community will receive 25% of the total LIT supply, with funds going directly to the wallets of users who have accumulated points within the Lighter ecosystem. Importantly, airdrop tokens will not be subject to any lock-up period – participants will have immediate access to their assets. The distribution process will be fully automatic, with no additional registration or formalities required.

Tokenomics Strategy and Buyback

The pool allocated for the community represents only a part of a larger tokenomics strategy. Overall, half of all LIT tokens will be directed toward community engagement and ecosystem development. Details of the full tokenomics breakdown will be gradually released in the coming weeks. The Lighter team is also considering a token buyback mechanism, although the specific parameters of this operation are still under internal discussion. As explained, such actions will support the long-term value of the token itself.

Trading Path and Availability

In the initial phase, LIT will be traded exclusively on the Lighter platform, which is a natural strategy for token deployment. Interestingly, one of the leading exchanges has already included LIT in its strategic development roadmap, although none of the goals involve additional fees for listing the token on that platform.

Other Remarks and Future Plans

The team also clarified that there will be no official NFT program related to Lighter, although selected community-created NFT projects such as Fuego are supported. Rumors about a potential meme coin airdrop have been firmly denied by representatives.

Looking ahead, Lighter is actively working on developing a mobile application, with the ambition to compete with existing centralized exchange apps. This initiative suggests that the team intends to significantly expand the accessibility and functionality of its platform.
