· 2026-08-17T11:47:12+00:00It's logical to assume Lighter will reward traders more for holding positions than for simply generating volume. Just look at CT - every other person is posting about vibe-coding a grid bot and farming Lighter volume almost at breakeven. Lighter's reported daily volume is

· 2026-08-17T10:01:00+00:00$Lighter đang xử lý hàng chục tỷ USD perp volume mỗi tháng — nhưng câu hỏi quan trọng là bao nhiêu trong đó còn lại sau khi incentive biến mất. Dữ liệu hiện tại của DeFiLlama ghi nhận khoảng $37.5B perp volume trong 30 ngày, $842M open interest và hơn $70M
AI visual analysis: The image is a dramatic split-screen infographic for the Lighter ("L") perpetual DEX, contrasting the "Incentive Era" (left, glowing gold) with the "Post-Incentive Era" (right, dark and stormy). The left panel highlights $10B+ monthly perp volume, 250K+ traders, 10M+ trades, $500M+ liquidity, and high incentives, while the right panel shows ominous question marks ($ ?), declining metrics, and warnings like "No Rewards," "Low APR," and "Why Stay?"—centered around an hourglass pouring "Incentives Flow" into "Sustainable Value," with the caption "What Remains?" The visual reinforces the post's central concern: while Lighter currently processes tens of billions in perp volume (~$37.5B per DefiLlama), the critical question is how much of that activity and liquidity ($842M open interest, $70M+) will persist once trading incentives are removed.
