How do Lighter referral rewards work?

Lighter is an orderbook-based perpetual DEX (zkLighter) with verifiable matching and liquidations — Lighter. The platform runs a referral program (the link we have is a referral link, with no fee-discount code to type in — the reward is tied to the link itself), but our directory only surfaces the fact that the program exists, not its exact reward schedule.

What I can say with confidence is general to how perp DEX referral programs like this one typically work — Lighter's specific numbers aren't in the data I have:

  • How it usually works: the referrer gets a share of the trading fees generated by people who sign up through their link. Some platforms pay it in the platform's own token, some in the fee currency, and some also give the invitee a fee discount or rebate.
  • What determines the reward: typically a percentage of the referred trader's fee volume, sometimes tiered — the more the invitee trades, the more the referrer earns. Payouts usually land periodically (daily/weekly) into your account.
  • Caveat: Lighter being an orderbook/verifiable DEX, its fees and any referral split are set by the protocol, and these structures can change.

Since the exact Lighter referral terms aren't returned by our tools, the reliable way to get them is straight from the source: Lighter's site — their referral page should state the split, payout schedule, and whether there's a tier or cap. I'd rather give you that than guess at a specific percentage.

Want me to compare Lighter against the other perp DEXs in the directory (Aster, edgeX, GMX, GMTrade) on fees and structure?
