Lighter distributed 25% of the total LIT supply to early users in Points Season 1 and 2 as part of its ecosystem allocation.
In total, 50% of the supply is reserved for the community and future growth programs, while the remaining 50% goes to the team and investors, subject to a one-year lockup and three-year vesting schedule.
The team says value generated by Lighter products will ultimately accrue to LIT holders, with revenues directed toward growth or token buybacks depending on conditions.
LIT is currently trading at approximately $2.6, according to CoinGecko. The token secured its first major centralized exchange spot listing on Coinbase.
LIT is also available on Bybit’s perpetual futures platform, expanding trading options for derivatives traders.
