Vladimir Novakovski: Why Robinhood Chain And Lighter Both Bet On Ethereum (Composability Thesis)

Vladimir Novakovski breaks down why both Lighter Core and Robinhood Chain sit on top of Ethereum, and how ZK proofs let market makers move capital between instances within minutes. He also previews a future where users simply describe their market thesis and let an AI agent execute the trade, plus options on pre-IPO stocks currently in the works. Finally, he lays out why the LIT token carries zero dual structure, it represents 100% of Lighter's equity, with all future value, including quarterly buybacks, accruing directly to token holders.

Vladimir Novakovski is CEO of Lighter, a decentralized perp exchange built on top of Ethereum with an institutional-grade security-first architecture.
