Qualifying activity
Robinhood’s current support page confirms that Lighter runs the points program, with some points updating in real time and the remainder arriving through weekly drops. It does not confirm a 2x multiplier; eligibility, calculation, conversion, and discontinuation remain at Lighter’s discretion. This is an access channel, not a separate protocol.

Use cost before reward. Calculate activity cost first; points can be delayed, diluted, slashed, or worth zero.
This is Lighter’s perpetuals product inside Robinhood Wallet. It uses the same zk-verifiable order book as Lighter’s direct product.
The integration changes the front door. It uses USDG collateral and Robinhood Chain deposits. The current Robinhood support page confirms that Lighter, not Robinhood Wallet, controls points eligibility, calculation, conversion, and distribution.
Use this route if you already use Robinhood Wallet and want perps without opening Lighter’s separate interface. If you do not use Robinhood Wallet, the main benefit is unclear: the core trading system is still Lighter’s, with an extra integration layer.
This channel uses USDG rather than the collateral shown in Lighter’s direct interface. The current support page confirms that some Lighter points update in real time and the remainder arrive through weekly drops. It does not confirm the previously reported 2x multiplier or any fixed token allocation.
Check Lighter’s review and the current app schedule before trading.
Lighter’s core protocol and the Robinhood Wallet access layer have different operating histories. The USDG margin flow and Robinhood Chain add dependencies that should be evaluated separately from Lighter’s matching engine.
This route adds Robinhood Chain and the Robinhood Wallet app between you and Lighter’s matching engine. A failure in that integration layer would be separate from a failure in Lighter’s own zk-rollup.
