Lighter today discounts user points in the name of combating witch accounts, but all these points were obtained by users according to the correct rules. What is the loophole, or are there other hidden motives? Honestly, it might just be a matter of not wanting to fulfill promises.
The problem is that the rules can be interpreted arbitrarily, and the point deduction interface can be activated at any time. Today, Lighter uses this logic, and tomorrow the same situation could recur with other platforms B, C, and D. As long as an excuse is found, anyone can freeze your points.
Thus, the entire shape of the Perp DEX market scene is affected. Attracting new users is not easy, and now even the foundation of trust is shaking — because you never know if the other party will turn against you. This uncertainty is spreading rapidly.
Developing a healthy ecosystem for Perp DEX ultimately depends on platforms that make rules transparent and reassure users to participate.
