jumper has what i think is the best bridging ux out there;
great to see them add perps, and have @Lighter_xyz (both core, rhc) for execution
they have cool ideas around perps aggregation. keen to see more of this!

perps are where blockchains were in 2021.
new venues every month, liquidity everywhere, no single place to trade it all. jumper perps is our bet that aggregation wins here too.
we’re looking for the first generation of traders to build it with us.

Ecosystem grew so much i had to redo the whole gen logic to fit all apps. Good problems to have
Intern notes from @lighter_xyz's Q2 Investor Call
> 100% of revenue keeps going to buybacks. 6M LIT were bought back in Q2, while half the circulating supply is currently staked. Staking yield has a 6% target
> Token burns will be performed. Value from Lighter products and servico tokenholders rather than having a hybrid equity/token model
> Lighter is operating the world's largest proving infra: 3053 Apple Silicon Mac Minis optimized for high-throughput ZK proving. The system processes hundreds of millions of orders per day, then uses ZK proofs to verify batches of trades, cancellations and liquidations approx every 30 minutes.
> Infra optimizations helped cut costs by more than 50%. P99 latency over WebSockets was also reduced from a variable 200ms+ to 55ms. A detailed technical post will be shared soon.
> During Q2, a fireside chat was held with Vitalik, and @l2beat independently verify Ligter's escape hatch
> More than 25 new RWA markets have been added during Q2, including STRC, SpaceX, and pre-IPO futures like Anthropic and OpenAI. OI grew steadily (currently 21.5%), with volumes sustaining around 12% of the platform's total
> The Beta RFQ program processed more than $1B in volume, materially improving execution for RWAs and long-tail assets
> Advanced TWAP, atomic orders, and chase-limit orders are now live on mainnet, with more advanced order types being developed
> USDC and ETH are live as collateral, with ~ $4.2M ETH currently on the platform. Q3 Roadmap includes more stablecoins, tokenized gold, LLP, BTC, stocks, alongside a risk-margin model for correlated positions
> Long term, Lighter wants users to post tokenized equities as collateral and reuse that margin across perpetuals, options, and yield opportunities
> Lighter is now available through the @RobinhoodApp Wallet. The instance features volume-linked fees, and a 50/50 revenue share with higher maker fees. 11M LIT incentives will be distributed on the instance
> Lighter is expanding distribution across crypto-native and mainstream consumer businesses. Integrators have generated $6.4B in total volume, including $2.7B in retail volume through the @wallet_tg integration
> Lighter does not plan to compete as a general-purpose blockspace network. Instead, Lighter EVM is intended to provide revenue-generating trading infrastructure: an admin layer, with atomic execution and a programmable interface to Lighter’s matching engine
> Roadmap includes Lighter Domains, independent execution environments connected through Lighter EVM, and shared canonical bridge infrastructure
> Options are a central part of the roadmap. They will cover both RWA and crypto markets and enable on-chain structured products and yield strategies. Lighter also expects its derivatives-license work to cover options
> The ecosystem keeps growing, with 60+ apps built on top of Lighter, as reported by Lit Hub
> Team is working closely with the CFTC on a path to becoming a regulated US exchange capable of serving US customers. Regulatory progress could unlock institutional adoption and additional distribution opportunities, with ZK-based counterparty permissioning as a way to support KYC and institutional compliance without publicly exposing user data
