> **Visual Note:** A dark-themed dashboard table titled "What is generating the most points?" lists trading pair actions, what was done, and points earned, with BTC-related activities (such as $19K positions opened and held for varying hours) dominating the list with points ranging from +0.0554 to +0.19, while SPCX and BTC open/close actions earn smaller amounts (0.005-0.04 points). The image supports the post's claim that opening and holding positions over time is the most effective point-farming strategy on Lighter.

I found a great data analysis on Lighter and, based on it, I’ve created a new Lighter strategy for myself.

Open position + time = the main source of points.

So, simply opening and closing positions"

The most talked about consumer app in crypto right now is also one of the most expensive to use.

Lighter may be worth watching, but I wouldn't confuse a points program with free money

You're taking market risk to farm it

That's a pretty important detail people tend to forget"
