Multi-Asset Margin Goes Live
Lighter (LIT) · Releases & Updates · April 25, 2026
Lighter launches Multi-Asset Margin — traders can now use any supported asset as collateral for perps trading.
Lighter is a ZK-rollup perp DEX on Ethereum backed by Founders Fund and Ribbit Capital with $68M raised. Multi-Asset Margin activates via Unified Trading Accounts, letting traders post their full or partial balance of any supported asset as margin for perpetuals — no longer limited to USDC collateral only. Lighter processed $232B+ in 30-day volume before its December 2025 TGE and is currently the #3 perp DEX by volume.
