Running the Lighter Bot

  1. Make sure you’ve set up Hyonix (cheap cloud PC). Download the build from the farmer-beta-channel.

  2. Open the Farmer app on Hyonix, click Perp DEXs in the sidebar, then select Lighter (top left).

Bot Settings

  • Direction (Long/Short): Bet whether price will go up or down.

  • Token Selection: Search for the token you want to trade.

  • Amount & Leverage: Enter USDC size and leverage (min and max vary by token).

  • Risk Management: Set Take Profit % and Stop Loss %.

  • Discord Integration: Add your Discord key (required). Configure Discord webhooks in app settings for trade alerts.

  • Execution: Review all settings, then click Execute Lighter Trade. The bot manages TP/SL automatically.


Tips to Earn Points

  • Consistency matters → Trade regularly and pick correct direction.

  • Less popular tokens = more points → Focus on tokens with lower volume.

  • Delta Neutral Strategy → Hedge risk by trading opposite directions across DEXs.


Delta Neutral Options

1. Manual Hedge Method

  • Run the bot long/short on Lighter.

  • Manually take the opposite trade on Aster (or another DEX).

  • If using very low TP/SL, bot trades often with 3–12 min downtime between trades → imperfect hedge. Increase TP/SL for fewer interruptions.

2. Bot Long Lighter / Bot Short Aster

  • One bot long on Lighter, another short on Aster.

  • Should mostly balance. Not yet fully tested.

3. Future Update

  • Automated delta neutral with Lighter + Paradex coming soon.

4. Paradex Delta Neutral

  • Use our paradex farmer which has built-in delta neutral for lighter


Farm certain tokens for extra points:

You can now trade XAU and XAG in order to get extra points. Make sure to do these with lower size, due to their slippage

  • You must go to the Lighter dApp and do the below two things:

    • Cange the Margin-Mode on your position to "Isolated" because these markets only use ISOLATED MARGIN

    • You must also set the leverage
