In the decentralized finance (DeFi<\/strong>) space, perpetual futures (perps)<\/strong><\/a> trading has become a powerful tool for crypto traders. Lighter<\/strong> is a fully decentralized order book exchange running on the Arbitrum One Layer 2 network. By offering permissionless trading with zero slippage and built-in protection against MEV (Miner Extractable Value), it addresses common issues seen in traditional DEXs\u2014such as latency, high gas fees, and lack of transparency. Leveraging cryptographic technologies, Lighter delivers both fairness and security, aiming to provide an alternative experience to centralized exchanges.
