According to ChainCatcher, Lighter launched its EVM development network today. Built in collaboration with Axiom, the network is an OpenVM-based EVM-equivalent Rollup operating parallel to Lighter Core, with both planning joint settlement to Ethereum via a single zero-knowledge proof. Developers can deploy smart contracts using Foundry, Hardhat, Viem, and Ethers, accessing account, balance, position, order, and market data on Lighter Core, and directly create, modify, and cancel orders through smart contracts.

The network supports asset transfers between the L1 devnet, Lighter Core, and Lighter EVM. Access currently requires email request, with Lighter opening access in batches and planning full developer availability within weeks.
