Lightlink is an Ethereum layer 2 network that is compatible with the EVM. That means developers can reuse Solidity contracts and standard Ethereum tooling, and users can connect with familiar wallets. The network is known for its emphasis on gasless transactions, where an app or business can sponsor fees so end users do not have to pay them directly. This makes it a fit for consumer-style apps more than for heavy trading.

Our data does not list a native token for Lightlink, so we do not name one here. Fee details can change, so check the network's official documentation for how gas is paid and whether a given app covers it for you. Transaction costs on layer 2 networks are generally lower than on Ethereum mainnet.

The DeFi footprint is small. DeFi TVL on Lightlink was about $20,880 at the time of writing. The 7 dApps we list are mostly multi-chain protocols that also support Lightlink, rather than apps built only for it. They include the cross-chain infrastructure of LayerZero V2 and Stargate V2, the exchange protocol Uniswap V3, and the Sablier Lockup and Sablier Flow payment tools for vesting and streaming. Smaller names include IcecreamSwap V2 and Amped Finance. Their large TVL figures reflect activity across many chains, not Lightlink alone.

Lightlink FAQs

What is Lightlink?

Lightlink is an Ethereum layer 2 network that is compatible with the EVM, so Ethereum-style wallets and smart contracts work on it. It is mainly known for its focus on gasless or sponsored transactions aimed at consumer apps and businesses.

Is Lightlink EVM compatible?

Yes. It is EVM-compatible, so apps written in Solidity for Ethereum can generally be deployed with little change. Users can usually connect with common Ethereum wallets after adding the network.

What token do you use for fees on Lightlink?

Our data does not list a native token for Lightlink, so we do not state one here. Check the network's official documentation for the current gas and fee arrangements before you transact, since some apps may cover fees on behalf of users.

How much value is locked in Lightlink DeFi?

The DeFi TVL on Lightlink was about $20,880 at the time of writing, which is very small next to major networks. It changes daily, so treat it as a rough snapshot.

Which dApps are available on Lightlink?

We list 7 dApps connected to Lightlink. They include LayerZero V2, Uniswap V3, Stargate V2, Sablier Lockup, Sablier Flow, IcecreamSwap V2 and Amped Finance. Most of them run on many chains, so the headline TVL figures on their pages cover all networks rather than Lightlink alone.

Are there risks in using small chains like Lightlink?

Low activity can mean thin liquidity, wider slippage and fewer users to rely on if something goes wrong. Smart contract bugs, bridge failures and wallet mistakes are risks on any chain. Start with small amounts, confirm you are using the official app, and read each dApp's audit and documentation first. Nothing here is financial advice.
