Lighter is a fully-verifiable decentralized exchange built as a zero-knowledge rollup on Ethereum, delivering high-frequency trading performance with onchain security and composability. Its custom ZK circuits prove every operation — including order matching and liquidations — with millisecond latency and the ability to process tens of thousands of orders per second. The optimized matching engine enables zero fees for retail traders and highly competitive pricing for high-frequency strategies, while deposits, withdrawals and proofs are verified publicly on Ethereum. Lighter's mainnet is live, offering low-cost, low-latency perpetual trading backed by transparent, cryptographically-secured settlement.
Uniswap V3 pioneered concentrated liquidity ranges and multiple fee tiers, letting LPs choose custom price curves and earn up to 4000 × higher fee capital efficiency. It introduced NFTs to represent positions and a licence that restricts commercial forks for two years. As of 2025 V3 is deployed on more than 15 chains and retains over 60 % DEX market share by volume.
