How many @Lighter_xyz points do you need for a $10,000 payout?
Assuming roughly 4.4 ethereum:0x232ce3bd40fcd6f80f3d55a522d03f25df784ee2 per point:
• ethereum:0x232ce3bd40fcd6f80f3d55a522d03f25df784ee2 at $5 → 455 points
• ethereum:0x232ce3bd40fcd6f80f3d55a522d03f25df784ee2 at $3 → 758 points
I consider $3 more realistic, so my target is around 760 points.
With roughly 14 weeks left, that means farming about 55 points per week.
Based on my own results, the most efficient setup has been:
• Trading through Robinhood Wallet
• Holding positions for around 12 hours
• Two trading cycles per day
• Choosing markets with low OI
This has generated roughly 10 points per $100K in volume.
To earn 55 points weekly:
• $550K volume per week
• $80K volume per day
• $20K OI rotated twice daily, or $40K OI held for 24 hours
Required margin at 5–10x leverage:
• $20K OI → $2K–$4K per venue
• $40K OI → $4K–$8K per venue
You’ll need the same amount on the hedge exchange.
This isn’t guaranteed. Point emissions and scoring can change.
It’s simply what the Lighter math looks like right now based on my results.
I use the same trade to farm Lighter and several potential perp airdrops at once.
Strategy: funding + spread.
I open one side on @Lighter_xyz and hedge on:
→ @arcus_xyz: closed beta, with its own token expected later
→ @QFEX: still early, with growing hints around points and a future airdrop
→ @entropyIO: a new player on Hyperliquid, with rumors about points
→ @variational_io: expensive points and TGE getting closer
Instead of using a random exchange only to hedge the position, I choose platforms where my activity may also be rewarded later.

That’s how I farm Lighter.
Not happy about the TGE delay @variational_io.
But a 32% airdrop is huge.
More points dilute us, but 32% vs 25% keeps every Q4 scenario above our old math.
The team played this better than expected.
Only the market can ruin it now.
I still can’t believe it, but apparently $50 per point is possible?
. @variational_io point valuation without the hopium
and:
• I don’t believe it launches at Lighter’s FDV.
• I don’t believe 50% of the supply goes to the airdrop.
• And I definitely don’t believe in $100 per point.
But even in my bearish scenario, one point is still worth $20+
That’s incredible.
Keep your expectations realistic.
See you at TGE.
@fomosaurus@variational_io Exactly. Either way, those who already farmed enough points are happy and will eat well.
Farming until TGE is just a nice bonus, and a solid play for anyone looking to add a few extra percent to their bankroll.
@testdumbass@variational_io Exactly. That’s what I meant. But, If they had delayed the TGE and kept the airdrop at 25%, it wouldn’t have felt nearly as good.
