Hyperliquid has added LIT, the native token of rival perpetual exchange Lighter, to its pre-market contract trading platform.
Lighter is a zero-knowledge rollup-based perpetual derivatives DEX built on Ethereum Layer 2. The platform launched its public mainnet on October 1, 2025, following a private beta that began in January. Since launch, it has become one of the most active perpetuals platforms, emerging as a direct competitor to Hyperliquid.
