The actual sequencer is still as low latency as ever but the API layer in between that and the front end is slow (web2 type issue). - it's taking longer to generate proofs on Ethereum so withdrawals are slowed down as a result.

We are working on upgrading the system to prevent these issues next week."

Depth may be limited and market conditions can change quickly leading to volatility and increased liquidations. Orders may partially fill and execution quality can vary during volatility. Funding can flip after strong moves and may erode PnL if held through adverse windows. Pre-launch markets will convert to regular perps upon CEX spot listing.

"We calculate Open Interest in a one-sided way - so if a trade happens and Alice is long [--] unit and Bob is short [--] unit that counts as [--] unit total. But turns out most perp DEXs show it as two-sided so it would be [--] units in this example. Should we switch to be consistent We keep OI one-sided Switch to two-sided OI We keep OI one-sided Switch to two-sided OI"

"Thanks for the test spin of our private beta @derteil00 - humbling to be compared to @HyperliquidX this early on. Indeed the ability to deposit collateral from multiple chains (and soon assets besides USDC) is an important goal for the protocol - as is really low latency of trading as mentioned by @hansolar21 and @satoshiheist. In that spirit for those in the private beta: - What is most annoying about Lighter right now - What feature do your favorite exchanges have that Lighter doesn't currently - What features do you wish other exchanges had that Lighter should build first"

"The system is having a tough time today with TPS much higher than usual. What this means: - UI/UX is slower. The actual sequencer is still as low latency as ever but the API layer in between that and the front end is slow (web2 type issue). - it's taking longer to generate proofs on Ethereum so withdrawals are slowed down as a result. Temporary solutions: - We are adding more liquidity to the Arbitrum fast withdrawal bridge - We have rate limited the API traders (HFTs and MMs) a bit until things go back to normal. We are working on upgrading the system to prevent these issues next week."
