About Lighter funding & fees
Lighter is a decentralized perpetual exchange (perp DEX) tracked live on ORBIT, listing 50 perpetual markets, $409.7M total open interest, $557.2M in 24h volume. Average funding across its markets is +9.88% annualized. ORBIT compares Lighter's funding rates against 35 other venues so you can spot where it diverges from the rest of the market.
Lighter charges 0% taker and 0% maker fees on perpetuals. Via the ORBIT referral you also get: 0% / 0% Standard tier. Execution cost matters for funding arbitrage — ORBIT's backtester subtracts both legs' taker fees plus live order-book slippage, so the PnL it shows is net of what you actually pay.
Lighter's native token LIT is already live. Funding-rate incentives on listed-token venues are usually steadier than pre-TGE points, which makes Lighter a reliable leg for delta-neutral pairs.
To run funding arbitrage with Lighter, find an asset whose funding here diverges from another venue on the [Funding Screener](/screener), then verify the pair in the [backtester](/pair/BTC). Its most active markets right now include BTC (+4.38%), ETH (+10.51%), LIT (+10.51%).
