Bankless
Is $LIT Cheap? | Will Price and Flip

It's usually, here's our SDK.

Bankless

If you want to integrate it, please go for it.

That is a good point.

And so, so hyperliquid, they, they charge the makers, they charge the takers, uh, various fees.

Bankless
Is $LIT Cheap? | Will Price and Flip

They have the traditional fear tiers, which you see most exchanges do, uh,

Bankless

And NATO has it, Extended has it, and a lot of the other competitors have this tiered fear model for both makers and takers where Lider says, hey, takers, we just want you to trade on the platform.

Bankless

And, you know, this incentivizes and brings in usually retail flow.

Bankless
Is $LIT Cheap? | Will Price and Flip

They're used to that zero fee model.

Bankless

And so you see a lot of market orders instead of limit orders.

Bankless

And the trade size on lighter tends to be a little bit smaller, indicative of retail users.

Bankless
Is $LIT Cheap? | Will Price and Flip

And this is quite advantageous for market makers because this is somewhat benign flow for them.

Bankless
Is $LIT Cheap? | Will Price and Flip

So they are willing to pay more in fees because they are more profitable per dollar traded against that type of flow.

Bankless

Versus a hyperliquid where you might be trading, Jump might be trading against one of the other market makers, Winter Mew, and that's not a very advantageous trade for them.

Bankless
Is $LIT Cheap? | Will Price and Flip

Versus here, it's like, okay, I kind of know I'm trading against a lot of retail, so I can be quite profitable.

Bankless
Is $LIT Cheap? | Will Price and Flip

And so in order to do that, you charge your fees to the taker, the retail user, the front end user, and then market makers, you pay a little bit.

Bankless

And their integration with Telegram has brought a lot of that retail flow in, which probably gives lighter some pricing power.

Bankless
Is $LIT Cheap? | Will Price and Flip

My speculation is I think over time, you'll see fees increase for makers over time on lighter.

Bankless
Is $LIT Cheap? | Will Price and Flip

I think they have some pricing power there just because market makers are so profitable trading.

Bankless
Is $LIT Cheap? | Will Price and Flip

It's this retail benign flow.

Bankless

I see, I see.
