With several breakthroughs using ZK-SNARKs we have finished development of ZkLighter core infrastructure and it's going live on testnet today. ZkLighter is a custom ZK rollup that is optimized for operating an order book matching engine. One of our key innovations are custom ZK circuits for verifiable matching -- so that there is cryprographic proof that every market participant is treated fairly when trades"

"We appreciate the candid feedback about the @Lighter_xyz private beta from early users - thanks @crypto_adair. To address the main points: - On the outages: totally our bad we have not prepared to grow as fast as we had and while the web3 part of our stack (our custom ZK circuits and sequencer) performed without issue the web2 part (front end API server) had some issues with congestion reliance on a single cloud provider load balancing etc. I think a good lesson for web3 founders in general - even if you get the crypto part right don't neglect the basic Internet know-how. - We agree that it's"

"It's funny the FUD about Lighter has shifted from "the product sucks" (Jan/Feb) to "the volume is fake" (Mar/Apr) and now "the business model won't work" (May/Jun). LLP is not subsidized - it's a market maker run by the protocol with capital from the community. An investment of $1 into LLP at its inception on Jan [--] is worth $2.75 today.

"It's interesting that some of the ideas behind FTX if properly executed in a decentralized way actually do work - for example you can think of Lighter's LLP public pool as an "internal market maker" but there are fundamental differences. - LLP can only execute its trades on Lighter (which leaves lots of other strategies that involve multiple exchanges e.g. funding rate arbitrage to external MMs and HFTs) - everything that LLP does can be seen on-chain - LLP is explicitly using capital from the community that traders have opted into adding to the pool - LLP is not able to do anything with that"

"It's funny that for some reason people in crypto use the term CLOB to talk about exchanges - CLOB DEX sounds especially like an oxymoron is it central or decentralized or somehow both This term is obsolete even in TradFi I think it was used in the 90s and early 2000s. I did a little bit of research and it seems that the point of the C in CLOB is to differentiate the design from a less transparent model where makers and takers don't have a symmetric view of what's going on. I am not sure that "central" was the best choice of terminology even then but it's interesting that it was out of a push"

"Lighter has lower latency than Hyperliquid so that's not the price source for the LLP. These two events are related though. The reasons for the higher spreads: [--]. with HL down some traders quickly put on large trades on Lighter so LLP had to adjust its risk premium [--]. when there is an outage of a major exchange MMs should increase their spreads in general that's good risk management"

We will publish retention data soon but the original cohort is still very active. If you are among the first to deposit 10k of your own money to an untested exchange and take the time to provide feedback seems very fair to earn points for that.
