The author expresses a highly bearish sentiment toward Lighter (@Lighter_xyz) and its zkLighter engine, labeling the platform a "scam" that uses wash trading to inflate metrics. While the platform is backed by investors a16z (Andreessen Horowitz) and Lightspeed, the post dismisses its points program as a failed attempt to replicate the success of Hyperliquid. The critique focuses on the platform's use of technical buzzwords like zk-Rollup to mask what the author views as a lack of organic growth.
