What it does
Lighter is a trading platform built as a custom zero-knowledge rollup on Ethereum. Its proving system covers exchange operations, including order matching and liquidations, while Ethereum receives execution proofs and exchange-state updates.
The architecture publishes compressed state changes in Ethereum data blobs and provides an Ethereum priority queue for withdrawal and other exit requests. Users can access Lighter through its web interface, API and mobile applications for iOS and Android.
