The Lighter team has been making continuous moves recently, with new developments almost every day. The equity perpetual market is now live on the mainnet, with 24/7 trading from Monday to Friday, and only closed on weekends. This is a significant upgrade — previously, such derivative markets were restricted to US trading hours, but now the time constraints have been broken. Even more impressive, the official reveal indicates that a full 24/7 trading mode is in preparation. Why is this important? Because for global traders, breaking the trading time restrictions means more liquidity, more flexible risk management, and real-time response to market surprises. This ongoing feature iteration is precisely a sign of the perpetual contract market’s competitive upgrade.

Another one that aims to break the time limit, looks pretty good, huh?

ngl, removing trading hours feels like table stakes at this point. where's the real alpha tho—is their liquidity actually deep enough to not get rekt on weekend gaps? just seems like they're playing catch-up to what should've existed from day one
