Lighter Prover Challenge

Some context: Every transaction on Lighter is verified by a proving system that ensures correctness of the exchange. Today, we're partnering with Eigen Labs to open that system to the public for engineers to contribute in optimizing it and help unlock meaningful improvements for the entire Lighter ecosystem.

Lighter's prover processes production blocks with hundreds of transactions. Together with Eigen Labs, we're launching the Lighter Prover Challenge: an open competition to make it faster, with 15,000 LIT in prizes!

Run an agent. Test an optimization. Submit the result.

Participants can reduce constraint counts, speed up transaction proving, and cut total block proving time without compromising proof correctness. Every verified improvement makes the prover faster for everyone.
