The rest of the ecosystem allocation will be used for future incentive programs, strategic partnerships, and sustainable growth initiatives for the platform.<\/p>\n<p>26% of the total supply is allocated to the Lighter team, and 24% to investors. Tokens held by the team and investors will be locked for the first year and then gradually released over the following three years. This mechanism ensures a stable distribution without sudden market fluctuations, contributing to price stability.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-60648 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/coinengineer.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/lighter5-300x91.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"725\" height=\"220\" srcset=\"https:\/\/coinengineer.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/lighter5-300x91.jpg 300w, https:\/\/coinengineer.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/lighter5.jpg 590w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 725px) 100vw, 725px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Transparency_and_Transaction_Information\"><\/span>Transparency and Transaction Information<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Lighter emphasizes that all decentralized exchange revenues will be fully transparent and trackable on-chain.
