Lighter Bridge

Description sourced from DeFiLlama's protocol metadata; teams submit their own copy when listing.

DeFiLlama publishes the exact rules used to aggregate on-chain balances into the headline TVL figure shown on this page. The methodology below is the team's own source-of-truth description.

Counts tokens held in the Lighter system wallet on Ethereum and Arbitrum.

If a contract or vault isn't in this list, its balance does not contribute to the TVL displayed on Mantapex or DeFiLlama.

Lighter Bridge 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.

Lighter Bridge is a Bridge protocol that moves assets and messages between blockchains, locking value on the source chain and minting or releasing a representation on the destination. It is deployed across 2 chains, including Ethereum, Arbitrum. No public audit reports are listed on DeFiLlama for this protocol.

Lighter Bridge operates on 2 networks (Ethereum, Arbitrum), keeping its surface area narrower than chain-agnostic peers. Its TVL is heavily concentrated on Ethereum, which holds 100% of all assets — other deployments are comparatively small. Price feeds come from a single oracle provider (Stork); an outage or manipulation of that feed would propagate into every market the protocol prices. No public audit reports are linked from DeFiLlama for this protocol despite a non-trivial TVL — treat any deposit as carrying material smart-contract risk.
