**[Lighter Public Mainnet Officially Launched, Kicking Off Season 2 of the Points Program]** BlockBeats news, October 2, according to official sources, Perp DEX Lighter announced the official launch of its Ethereum L2-based mainnet, fully open after 8 months of private testing. The first season of the points program has concluded, and the second season will run until the end of 2025. Specific methods for earning points will be announced soon. Users can now freely join without the need for an invitation code or deposit limits, though the invitation program remains in place, allowing referrers to earn points and other incentives. The Lighter protocol's smart contracts have passed audits and public reporting, and a brand-new block explorer has been launched to help users view orders and transaction details. Retail traders conducting low-frequency or medium-frequency trades on the front end will enjoy free services indefinitely, while API trading (including market makers and high-frequency traders) has started incurring fees, with automated rules introduced to prevent wash trading and Sybil attacks. With the launch of Season 2 of the points program, the team will disclose more data regarding fee distribution, LLP holder returns, and the protocol treasury mechanism.
