Lighter is launching the LIT token staking feature on its platform Lighter announced that it will introduce the LIT token staking feature on the Lighter platform. The initial staking benefits include: for every 1 LIT staked, users can immediately deposit 10 USDC into Lighter LLP. There will be a two-week grace period (until January 28), during which existing LLP holders can retain their funds. After the grace period ends, staked LIT will be required to remain in the LLP. The platform will also adjust the premium fee rates for market makers and high-frequency trading firms. Overall rates will increase, but staking LIT will grant fee discounts, with the lowest fee tier remaining roughly at the current level. Retail trading will continue to be free. Staking LIT will generate returns, with the specific annualized rate to be announced later. Initial returns will come from staking rights granted to premium users. Additionally, staking 100 LIT will allow users to enjoy zero withdrawal and transfer fees. The staking feature will be rolled out to mobile users in the coming days.
