If you run concentrated liquidity positions you know the grind. Price moves, you're out of range, you're rebalancing at, like, 3am. 1inch Aqua lets you take a different approach. You can stack multiple positions on the same token balance instead of babysitting a dozen pools, and your tokens never leave your wallet. Your liquidity stays awake, so you can catch up on your sleep. Check it out at 1inch.com/aqua

Vladimir Novakovski: Why Robinhood Chain And Lighter Both Bet On Ethereum (Composability Thesis) Aug 04, 2026

Show notes

Vladimir Novakovski breaks down why both Lighter Core and Robinhood Chain sit on top of Ethereum, and how ZK proofs let market makers move capital between instances within minutes. He also previews a future where users simply describe their market thesis and let an AI agent execute the trade, plus options on pre-IPO stocks currently in the works. Finally, he lays out why the LIT token carries zero dual structure, it represents 100% of Lighter's equity, with all future value, including quarterly buybacks, accruing directly to token holders.

Vladimir Novakovski is CEO of Lighter, a decentralized perp exchange built on top of Ethereum with an institutional-grade security-first architecture.
