Decentralized perpetual contract platform Lighter has recently updated its platform mechanism. Want to provide liquidity in the Lighter Liquidity Pool (LLP)? You need to first stake the platform token LIT.

How exactly does it work? The staking ratio is set at 1:10—meaning staking 1 LIT unlocks a liquidity quota of 10 USDC. It seems that the participation threshold for liquidity providers has been significantly lowered.

This change takes effect immediately for new users, with no transition period. However, for existing users who already have deposits in LLP, the platform thoughtfully provides a two-week buffer period. The specific deadline is January 28—after which the new rules will be fully implemented.

This design actually balances two aspects: on one hand, it enhances the practicality of the token by staking LIT; on the other hand, it also strengthens the screening mechanism for liquidity providers. For users looking to deeply participate in DeFi, this is another new staking and mining opportunity.

LIT-5.01%

USDC-0.03%

A 1:10 ratio sounds okay, but it still feels like a disguised way to cut leeks. --- It's staking and unlocking again. When will this routine ever get old? --- Old users get a two-week buffer? Ha, that's what you call taking care of them. --- LIT's practicality has improved, but I'm more concerned about whether this thing will crash the market. --- Lowering the threshold is true, but I don't know what the actual liquidity situation is. --- Deeply participating in DeFi? I think it's more about deeply risking involvement. --- You need to quickly adjust your positions before January 28th, or you'll have to go through it all again. --- There are indeed many staking and mining opportunities, but the question is whether the returns are worth it. --- This round of mechanism adjustments is very friendly to big players, while small investors are once again caught in the internal competition.

A 1:10 staking ratio, to put it simply, still requires investing money into LIT to play. Is this a disguised attempt to pump the price?

A 1:10 ratio, it feels like they just want to push retail investors out. Really? Long-term users have a two-week buffer, so that's not bad. It's both staking and mining, the tactics are getting deeper and deeper. Is LIT about to be hammered again? By the way, how have LLP's returns been over the past few months? Has anyone come out to share? It seems like lowering the threshold is just a cover; essentially, it's still about pumping the market.

actually if you read the contract... 1:10 ratio is just fancy tokenomics theater, classic exit pump pattern dressed up as "utility unlock"

1:10 ratio sounds good, but it depends on how the LIT price moves... --- Old users have a two-week buffer, which is a bit rushed, but at least it provides some reaction time. --- Another staking mining opportunity? It all depends on how the APY looks this time. --- Is the Lighter mechanism trying to lock LIT into the ecosystem? That's pretty harsh. --- Liquidity screening is indeed necessary to prevent just anyone from rushing in and causing trouble. --- The gameplay of unlocking staking limits is everywhere now; the only difference is APY and risk. --- It's a bit unreasonable for new users to take effect immediately. Why don't other platforms do the same? --- Deadline is January 28th... and now wallet configuration needs to be changed again. So annoying.

Is the deadline January 28th? According to the database, how many times has this happened? I can't be bothered to count. --- A 1:10 ratio really "lowers" the threshold, quite a gentle satire. --- The new rules take effect immediately, with a two-week buffer for old users. This approach is indeed 👍. Players just need to remember the timing. --- Staking LIT to unlock liquidity—another moment where promises turn into reality. Let's wait patiently for the bloom. --- It sounds quite reasonable, but who can guarantee this won't be postponed again? Feel free to add more data. --- How much time has passed since the last promise to go live? The art of time continues. --- A 1:10 staking ratio—this design idea is definitely about filtering people, no doubt. --- Old users get a two-week buffer, new users go live immediately. I've seen quite a few instances of this differential treatment.
