Sam.var · 1354· 12mo ago14“VLAD THE CHAD 🗿🔥”Vlad is the Founder and CEO of Lighter (Perp DEX) Bro’s literally the trendsetter of “0-fee” perp trading , built an entire Hyperliquid-level competitor without even launching a new L1. And He isn’t your usual founder who hides when people throw FUD. Vlad replies to every single one with pure technical breakdowns When Lighter went public, the lineup of people who showed up said it all — founders and execs from Robinhood, BitMEX, Wintermute, LayerZero, EigenLayer, Succinct, Kalshi, and more were there congratulating him. That’s not hype, that’s real credibility

Boomoney.🕯 · 1222· 12mo ago13“Perp dex architect”Started noticing Vlad around July 2025, and this guy just blows your mind with his energy. founder and CEO of Lighter, and he literally changed the entire perp trading with his 0-fee model idea. built a Hyperliquid-level competitor without launching his own L1. thats a move fr. most founders would say "too hard", but Vlad just did it. ngl, saw him IRL at Lighter launch, and this dude is real. doesn't hide when FUD flies - instead, replies with pure technical breakdowns. thats what i respect tbh. when Lighter went public, check who showed up. founders and execs from Robinhood, BitMEX, Wintermute, LayerZero, EigenLayer, Succinct, Kalshi. doesn't this say everything? this isn't hype, this is real credibility in the industry. these people don't congratulate just like that. Lighter is a serious perp dex, not another attempt. Vlad is a true alpha who knows what he's doing!

sercan.lit 🕯️ · 1303· 1y ago5“A person capable of revolutionizing DeFi with his new product — Lighter.”A person capable of revolutionizing DeFi with his new product — Lighter. The concept of Lighter is very simple: the ability to trade with zero fees. Only a smart person who truly understands what concerns people could come up with something like this. He’s intelligent, a strong leader who knows exactly what he’s doing and why. He speaks openly about his product and release dates, without loud or pretentious statements — something that wins people’s trust and makes him genuinely interesting. His name is Vladimir Novakovski (also referred to as Vlad). He founded Lighter .xyz (founded in 2022 in Miami, Florida) and serves as CEO. ([linkedin.com][1]) Vladimir has a background in quantitative trading (he worked in trading currencies and commodities at a hedge fund) and then moved into technology and crypto, combining market-tactics with engineering. Under his leadership, Lighter announced that it reached about $165 million in Total Value Locked (TVL) in its ecosystem as it aligns with the Ethereum ecosystem. The project’s model includes trading with zero fees, and Lighter positions itself not merely as another DEX, but in the sights of centralized exchanges (CEXs) in terms of ambition. ([Meme Insider][3]) Additionally, according to a project analysis, Lighter’s Liquidity Provider Pool (LLP) was offering APRs in excess of 200% at one point, though with the caveat of being volatile and not guaranteed. Finally, in terms of tokenomics, the CEO has stated that for the upcoming token issuance the community allocation is about 50% of the total supply, and the spot-trading feature (including major assets like ETH and BTC) is expected to launch around late November to early December.
