Lighter launches EVM devnet with 1-second blocks and contract trading

Lighter launches an EVM devnet for smart contract trading, with one-second blocks, phased access and testing limits detailed in developer docs.

  • Lighter has launched an EVM devnet with one-second block times, enabling smart contracts to manage trading orders on its perpetual futures and spot markets.
  • The devnet, built with Axiom, offers developers an Ethereum-compatible environment to build applications, though it has limitations like mocked proofs and an unfinished asset-recovery mechanism.
  • Existing integrations with Robinhood for perpetual futures and tokenized stocks are mentioned, with broader developer access to the devnet planned in the coming weeks.
