What can I run on Lighter with Supanode?
Streaming off the order book, a ClickHouse SQL indexer over the trading history since mainnet genesis, and dedicated single-tenant hardware running either or both. What is missing is RPC, and not because we have not built it - Lighter runs no virtual machine, so a JSON-RPC endpoint does not exist on the network at all. Dedicated is unaffected: it is about the hardware, not the protocol.
What is Lighter?
A zero-knowledge rollup on Ethereum built for one purpose: perpetual trading. Instead of running general-purpose contracts, its circuits prove that order matching and liquidations happened correctly, which is what lets it offer exchange-grade speed while users keep self-custody. Data availability is on Ethereum blobs.
How do I get access to Lighter data on Supanode?
Provisioning is hands-on over Telegram. Message Supanode and an engineer provisions your credentials - a streaming token, ClickHouse connection details, or both. A free trial of up to 24 hours, no card, is available before committing.
How much does it cost?
Neither product is on sale yet - both the order-book stream and the indexer are in build. Tell us on Telegram what you need and we come back to you first when they open; billing will follow the same model as every other Supanode subscription, crypto-only, monthly and prepaid.

Access is set up over Telegram with an engineer — endpoint, token, tuning. Tell us your Lighter workload and we'll size it.
