REFERRAL PROGRAM

Lighter Referral Code:
LIGHTERPEDIA

Get a sign-up points boost on Lighter. Use our referral link when you sign up and the code is applied automatically. It has to be set at sign-up — users who sign up directly get no boost and cannot add one later. Lighter is already zero-fee, so this is a points head start, not a fee discount.

Lighter Referral Code (2026)

The current Lighter referral code is LIGHTERPEDIA. Using it gives you a sign-up points boost toward the Lighter points program. Because Lighter is zero-fee for standard accounts, the referral is not about lowering fees — it is a head start on points, which are widely expected to matter for a future LIT airdrop (timing and value remain unconfirmed estimates).

To apply the code, visit app.lighter.xyz/?referral=LIGHTERPEDIA and sign up. The code is carried in the link, so it is attached to your account the moment you create it — no code to type, no manual activation. Once set, the sign-up points boost is credited to your new account.

Important: the Lighter referral relationship can only be set at sign-up. If you create your account without a referral link, there is no way to add one later. Note too that to generate your own invite link and start earning from referrals, you must first reach 100 points.

Why the Lighter Referral Boost Matters

The Lighter referral code LIGHTERPEDIA gives the referred user a sign-up points boost, credited automatically at account creation. Because Lighter charges zero trading fees for standard accounts, there is no fee to discount — the value is entirely in the points program, which runs in weekly (Friday) distributions and is widely expected to feed into a future LIT airdrop. With no confirmed TGE, accumulating points is the main way to position for that airdrop, so beginning with a boost is a free head start. Any figure you see for airdrop timing or per-point value is an estimate, not a promise. Because the referral can only be set at sign-up and never added later, applying it from day one is the only way to capture it.

How the Lighter Referral Program Works

What Does the Referrer Earn?

Lighter's referral program is points-based. When someone signs up with your link, they get a sign-up boost and you earn a share of the points they accrue — paid on top, never deducted from their balance. That share scales with your own points total, starting at 5% and rising to as much as 15%:

Your PointsReferral Share of Referred Points
0+5%
750+7%
1,000+8%
3,000+10%
7,000+12%
12,000+15%

Tiers are based on the referrer's accumulated points. Verify the current program terms in the Lighter docs and app, as the points program can change.

When Can You Refer Others?

You must reach 100 points before you can generate your own invite link. Once you cross that threshold, open the referrals section in the Lighter app to create a personal link. Remember that the referral relationship can only be set at sign-up, so share your link before your friends create their accounts.
