Lighter SDK

Perpetual and spot Market support for Lighter, built on typed-lighter. Install with pip install tribulnation-lighter.

from tribulnation.lighter import LighterMarket

async with LighterMarket.new(public=True) as venue:
  perp = await venue.perp_exchange('perp')
  market = await perp.market('1')  # BTC
  book = await market.depth(levels=5)

Account and trading methods need an API key registered for the account:

venue = LighterMarket.new(account_index=476, api_key_index=4, api_private_key='0x…')

With no arguments, the client reads LIGHTER_ACCOUNT_INDEX, LIGHTER_API_KEY_INDEX and LIGHTER_API_PRIVATE_KEY (LIGHTER_TESTNET_* with network='testnet').

  1. Exchanges are perp and spot. Market ids are the venue's numeric market_id ('0' ETH and '1' BTC perpetuals, '2048' ETH/USDC spot on mainnet): the ids orders are signed with. Symbols are API metadata only, and ids differ between networks. Asset ids are the venue's asset_id ('3' is USDC).
  2. Public data: discovery, tickers, rules, REST depth (the top 250 orders per side, summed per price), a shared full-book stream, candles in the six SDK intervals, perpetual index, perp_stats, next funding and hourly funding-rate history.
  3. Account and trading: fees (the account's fee ticks, in parts per million), order queries, open orders, trade history and streams with fees, positions, collateral, available notional, funding payments, MARKET, LIMIT and POST_ONLY orders, and every cancellation method. Order ids are client order indexes.
  4. Perpetual fees, margin and funding are in USDC. Spot fees are charged in the asset a fill delivers, so spot rules().fee_asset is None and each Trade.fee names it.
  5. Perpetual collateral covers cross and isolated positions. Spot collateral supports unified accounts only.

See Lighter Market for account configuration through MarketSDK and venue-specific semantics.
