#Perp DEX市场竞争 Just saw Lighter officially announce the native token LIT, and I suddenly realize that the competition in the Perp DEX space is getting really fierce 🔥
I used to only know about trading, never really thought about the logic of native tokens. The distribution plan for LIT looks quite interesting—50% to the ecosystem, 50% to team and investors, and the 12.5 million points already generated will be airdropped immediately, which is equivalent to a 25% dilution in value? That number sounds pretty big, but I’m still a bit confused...
What concerns me most is that the airdrop timing hasn’t been confirmed 😅. After waiting so long, they suddenly say the airdrop results will still take more time, which feels a bit like buying a ticket but not having a fixed departure date. But judging from their real-time on-chain tracking of revenue, distribution growth, and buybacks, it seems to be relatively transparent?
I heard that the DEX market is now highly competitive, with projects constantly coming up with new tricks. Lighter’s official announcement seems to aim at attracting more ecosystem participants through the native token. It feels like the entire industry is becoming more and more complex. Can any veterans explain what this means for ordinary participants? Is it worth paying attention to or better to keep observing?
