The purpose is to analyze the quality of Lighter's economic system design. Lighter’s core design is a combination of “centralized exchange-grade performance” and “on-chain verifiability”. Based on the official description, Lighter is a zero-knowledge rollup on Ethereum, and aims for a structure that proves all operations, including order matching and clearing, and is publicly verified on Ethereum. This is a design that maintains the speed and UX of a traditional CLOB exchange, while reducing the risk of operator manipulation through cryptographic proof and Ethereum settlement. 1. Lighter Core on-chain state mapping: exists.

- Increase in new circulation - reward dilution The key evaluation of token design is “Is LIT demand directly linked to increase in transaction volume?” Fee discount and funding rebate are linked to trader demand, and LLP access is linked to liquidity provider demand. However, since the standard account has 0 fees, LIT demand is an approach to provide a safer fallback than free retail. On-chain security score \= proof verification + data availability + exit possibility + smart contract audit quality - contract upgrade risk - oracle risk Based on the official document, Lighter explains that the proof attests...
