About the vault
Overview
The DACM LIT Strategy provides USDC-denominated exposure to Lighter's Liquidity Provider (LLP) vault — the market-making backbone of the Lighter decentralised perpetual exchange on Arbitrum.
LLP earns yield primarily from:
- Maker rebates and trading fees from perp activity on Lighter
- Liquidation fees when leveraged traders are closed out
- Funding rate capture on the resulting market-neutral inventory
DACM actively manages the position — sizing exposure, monitoring structural metrics (notably the OI/TVL ratio as a leading indicator of fee-driven profitability), and rotating capital based on changes in vault economics.
Why Lighter
- Order-book DEX with a strong CEX-like execution profile
- Growing open interest with maker-friendly fee structure
- Transparent on-chain accounting of LLP performance
Risk Considerations
- Smart contract risk — Lighter protocol and Lagoon vault contracts
- Drawdown risk — LLP can absorb losses during adverse market events or coordinated trading flow
- Manipulation risk — perp LP vaults have known structural vulnerabilities under thin liquidity
- Liquidity risk — weekly settlement; redemptions are not instant
This vault is suitable for investors comfortable with DeFi smart contract exposure and the specific risks of perp DEX liquidity provision.
Settlement: strategy has a 3-day unlock so settles Request+3
