Zero Fees ≠ Zero Revenue
@Lighter_xyz is an Ethereum-based ZK Appchain Perp DEX where retail traders can enjoy zero fees (Maker/Taker = 0), making trading smoother and the experience better.
But that doesn’t mean it has no revenue sources: the platform achieves commercial sustainability through market maker rebates, traffic sharing, and offering premium accounts (0.002% / 0.02%) for high-frequency/professional users.
Considering Lighter’s 24-hour trading volume can reach billions of dollars, as long as the revenue-sharing ratio is reasonable, the backend revenue potential remains significant.
This is the magic of "zero fees" created by @vnovakovski: allowing users to feel the platform’s openness and fairness while retaining a revenue model.
It’s somewhat similar to Robinhood:
• Front-end experience focuses on zero fees;
• Back-end generates revenue through market maker rebates/traffic monetization;
• A business model supported by a large base of active users × high-frequency trading volume.
No wonder @RobinhoodApp founder @vladtenev is also a supporter of Lighter
