Data transparency

  • Price and spot volume: FMChart composite candles for LIT built from several spot exchanges, hourly; the 24H spot volume sums the last 24 closed hourly candles.
  • Market cap and rank: FMChart market snapshot (composite price × circulating supply), refreshed every minute.
  • Open interest: one side of LIT perpetual futures, summed over the derivatives exchanges FMChart collects; the exchange breakdown is the latest snapshot.
  • Funding: rate of each exchange converted to an 8-hour equivalent (rate × 8 ÷ settlement interval), weighted by open interest.
  • Liquidations: long and short liquidations reported by the exchanges FMChart collects.
  • Liquidation heatmap: estimated from open interest, prices and an estimated leverage mix — not liquidations that have happened (same model as the Liquidation Heatmap page), last 30 days.
  • Long/short ratio: Binance global accounts ratio, hourly (only when Binance publishes it for LIT).
  • Scope: totals cover the exchanges FMChart collects, not the whole market. Times are UTC.

Lighter FAQ

How is Lighter's market cap calculated?

Market cap is the FMchart composite LIT price multiplied by circulating supply, shown with its rank among the coins FMchart tracks. The composite price blends spot prices from the exchanges FMchart tracks and updates hourly, so it can differ slightly from a single exchange's last trade.

What does a positive LIT funding rate mean?

Holders of long LIT perpetual positions pay holders of shorts at each funding interval, usually because the perpetual trades above spot. A negative rate means shorts pay longs. The page shows an OI-weighted rate per 8 hours, so exchanges with more open contracts count for more; multiply it by three periods a day and 365 days for an annualised rate.

What does the Lighter liquidation heatmap show?

Where available, the heatmap estimates price levels where leveraged LIT positions could be liquidated over the last 30 days, drawn over the price. The levels are modelled, not recorded events. Coins with limited derivatives coverage may not have a heatmap; recorded liquidations still appear in the long/short bars.

Which exchanges does the Lighter data cover?

Spot volume, open interest, funding and liquidations cover the exchanges FMchart tracks, and the open interest by exchange table lists the derivatives venues included. Totals can differ from other providers that collect a different set of venues, and most panels link to the full FMchart tool.
