Lighter Airdrop Speculation Heats Up as TGE Signals Align
-

Lighter, a leading perpetual DEX and direct competitor to Hyperliquid, is intensifying airdrop expectations as onchain and offchain signals converge toward a token launch before year-end. A core contributor confirmed that the protocol is finalizing Sybil, wash-trading, and self-trade filtering ahead of its token generation event (TGE), suggesting that reward calculations are nearing completion.
The anticipation gained momentum after Hyperliquid listed the yet-to-launch LIT token against USDC, an unusual move that traders interpret as confidence in an imminent TGE. With 25% of the total token supply already transferred onchain, the market increasingly views Lighter as being in the final execution phase.
