Lighter is a decentralized perpetual-futures exchange built as a zero-knowledge rollup on Ethereum. Its buyer is an experienced crypto trader who wants self-custody and verifiable matching, not a beginner looking for a simple dollar account or low-risk savings product.

## What it does

The [South Park Commons company profile](https://www.southparkcommons.com/companies/lunchclub) describes Lighter as a decentralized perpetual-futures exchange. It says custom zero-knowledge circuits generate proofs of every operation, including order matching and liquidations, with the goal of high throughput, low latency, self-custody and low fees. The linked product site is [lighter.xyz](https://lighter.xyz/).

The product choice is architectural: move exchange operations into a rollup and make the state transition verifiable onchain while keeping users in control of assets. That can be valuable to traders who understand perpetual contracts, but the public directory does not provide current fee tables, supported markets, leverage
