$5,000 in two months turns into $130,000: An ETH trader's astonishing performance on Lighter

Abstract generation in progress

【BitPush】An interesting trading data has surfaced. A certain wallet deposited $5,000 USDC on Lighter two months ago, then focused on ETH trading, with funds skyrocketing to $133,000—an increase of 26.6 times, with a return rate close to 2560%.

Even more impressive is the performance in the past 7 days. This address accounted for 59% of the transaction volume in Lighter’s ETHUSD order book trading ($1.72 billion), and about 9% of the total number of trades (approximately 115,000 trades). In other words, this guy’s trading volume on the platform is almost crushingly dominant.

A close look at the API and blockchain explorer data reveals that this account trades with zero fees, and aside from the initial $5,000, there are no signs of additional funding. The entire process is built step-by-step through order-matching algorithmic trading. Of course, this is not wash trading, as wash trading requires self-trading with oneself; here, it’s clearly genuine profitable trading. Achieving such results from an initial scale like this is truly thought-provoking.

ETH-0,13%

USDC0,04%

Damn, I need to look at this data again. Did it really skyrocket 26 times? Zero fee crazy order eating, how aggressive is this algorithm... How did this guy do it? Brother, please share the tutorial. Is it another robot? The trading volume is just too outrageous. Lighter platform has definitely attracted a master. 5000 to 130,000, I feel like I’m dreaming. Can anyone replicate this move, or does it require internal advantages? This account must be under close watch by the exchange. By the way, is this really not just volume manipulation? It’s a bit suspicious.

50,000 to 130,000? Bro, you must have such strong mental resilience... Just looking at the numbers makes me want to cut my losses.

I'll just say one thing, this is fucking crazy, turning 5k into 130,000—what kind of ball size does that take? --- Zero fee order execution? How did this guy do it? Teach me, brother. --- 26.6x? Really? Is this a joke? --- Platform offering zero fees? What the hell is with 59% trading volume? I can't even believe it. --- Is it purely algorithmic trading stacking up like this? What a badass strategy. --- Oh my god, 115,000 trades—this must be a robot. --- Can you multiply this much without adding funds? The market is crazy. --- Wait, isn't this kind of trading against the rules? Does the platform allow this? --- Why didn't I think of using Lighter? Missed the small target. --- What does it mean to exist at a crushing level? It means he did half the work alone.

Laughing out loud, this move is a real-life "leek counterattack" script. Should I learn from it or report it to the police?

What about the contract address? I want to see if this is real or just another marketing story.

Turning $5,000 into $130,000—what kind of magical technique is this? I’m honestly stunned. Is it true that you can play like this with zero fees? I feel like there’s some trick I haven’t figured out. Is it really true that this trading volume accounts for 59%? Can one person support that? When did the Lighter platform become so competitive? I haven’t heard about it before. But on the other hand, a 2560% return sounds outrageous, and the risk must be equally huge. This kind of operation where a single person’s trading volume outperforms the entire platform—feels like algorithmic trading is just making a killing. A 26x multiplier on order eating—bro, is this luck or do you really have some skills?

Wait, zero fees? Why is this guy getting special treatment? Or is Lighter just giving big players a green light... No matter how transparent the on-chain data is, it can't withstand such outrageous capital concentration.
