About Lighter V1
Liquid digital assets traded the way they were meant to be with the fully decentralized order book exchange for spot trading on L2’s, now live on Arbitrum.
Description sourced from DeFiLlama's protocol metadata; teams submit their own copy when listing.
Lighter V1 codebase lineage and protocol family
Lighter V1 is published as a versioned release inside the Lighter protocol family. Releases inside the same family typically share governance, brand, and large parts of the audit history, but each version can run materially different contract logic — a release labelled v2 or v3 is not just a UI refresh. Newer versions inside a family typically launch with their own audit cycle and parameter set, so do not assume the previous release's safety record carries over without checking the linked audit reports.
Fork lineage and parent-protocol relationships are tracked by DeFiLlama for security and audit-history attribution; a fork inherits the upstream design but not necessarily the upstream audits or governance.
