What is different
Zero fees on a ZK-proven order book
Lighter is a perpetuals exchange built as a zero-knowledge rollup on Ethereum: orders are matched on a central limit order book, and the matching and liquidations are proven with ZK proofs that Ethereum verifies. Standard accounts trade with no maker or taker fees. In exchange, Standard taker orders and cancels wait about 300 ms, and an account is allowed 60 requests a minute. Coinner paces every bot inside that allowance and keeps a reserve for cancels, so a busy bot can always take its orders down.
Zero fees on Standard
No maker or taker fees on Standard accounts. Premium accounts pay small fees for faster execution and higher limits.
Verifiable matching
Order matching and liquidations are proven with zero-knowledge proofs and verified on Ethereum.
Beyond crypto
Stock, index, commodity, and FX perps trade from the same USDC balance as crypto.
Fees
Lighter trading fees
Standard Lighter accounts pay 0% maker and 0% taker. Premium accounts pay fees (0.004% maker and 0.028% taker before discounts) in exchange for lower latency and higher request limits. Fee schedules can change, so review Lighter's current documentation before trading.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What can I trade on Lighter with Coinner?
Coinner runs bots on Lighter's perpetual markets: crypto (BTC, ETH, SOL and many more) plus stock, index, commodity, and FX perps. Coinner does not trade Lighter spot.
Are Lighter trades really free?
Standard Lighter accounts pay 0% maker and 0% taker fees. In exchange, taker orders and cancels wait about 300 ms and the account gets 60 requests a minute. Premium accounts pay fees for faster execution and higher limits.
How does Coinner connect to Lighter?
Lighter separates your wallet from trading keys. Coinner generates an API key for your Lighter account and you approve it with one wallet signature. The key trades for your account; withdrawals it could request can only go back to your own wallet, and Coinner never requests one.
Can I copy trade on Lighter?
Yes. Pick a trader from the Lighter leaderboard, ranked by 30-day PnL and ROI, and a copy bot mirrors their positions in your own account. A Lighter trader can also be copied from an Arcus, dYdX, or Hyperliquid account, since they share the same market tickers.
Does the market maker work on a Standard account?
Yes, but Standard's 60 requests a minute let it move both quotes about once every two seconds. A Premium account removes the cancel delay and raises the limit to thousands of orders a minute, which suits a busy market maker better.
Which bots work on Lighter?
Grid, DCA, Copy, TradingView, and market maker bots all run on Lighter perpetuals. Grids are limited to 30 orders per market, which is Lighter's cap on Standard accounts.
Risk
Trade responsibly
- Trading bots execute the rules you configure; they do not guarantee returns or prevent losses.
- Perpetuals and leverage can amplify losses and may result in liquidation.
- Leaderboard rankings and past trader performance do not predict future results. Read Coinner's full risk disclaimer.
