@Lighter_xyz
 just hit a new ATH of $3.7B FDV.

It's now trading around $3.5B FDV ($3.5).

And some people still think 
@variational_io
 will launch below $1B FDV.

By key metrics, Variational already looks stronger.

Variational vs Lighter:
> OI: $1.41B vs $1.09B
> 30D volume:"

Doesn’t matter how many validators you have if the team owned ones are the only validators than can produce blocks

Whether you turn off the single sequencer on lighter or the 4 HL owned validators…  the exchanges shut down all the same"
