Step 1: Access API Keys Section

1. Navigate to Lighter application at https://app.lighter.xyz/

2. Connect your wallet

3. Click on Tools dropdown menu in the top navigation

4. Select API Keys from the menu

Step 2: Generate New API Key

1. On the API Keys page, click the "Generate API Key" button in the top right corner

Step 3: Set API Key Index

1. Enter an API Key Index number between 2-254

   • Important: Indexes 0 (Desktop) and 1 (Mobile) are reserved and cannot be used

   • You can create up to 253 keys per account using indexes 2-254

   • Example: Use "111" or any number between 2-254

2. Click "Generate" button

Step 4: Save Your Keys

After generation, you'll receive three pieces of information:

1. API Key Index: Your chosen index number (e.g., 111)

2. Public Key: Your public key

3. Private Key: Your private key

⚠️ CRITICAL: Save your Private Key immediately! It will not be accessible after closing this popup. Store it securely - you'll need it for the farming module configuration.

🧠 Order Types

Lighter gives you three "brains" for how your bot will open and close orders. Think of these as different strategies for trading behavior.

🟢 MARKET Mode

Strategy: Fast entry, fast exit

• 1 hour split into n random time slots

• Each slot: Market order → Wait → Market close

• Best for: Volatile markets, quick trades

Timeline Example (n=10):
|--Market In--|-------Wait-------|--Market Out--|
     5 min            wait             close

🟡 LIMIT Mode

Strategy: Patient entry, smart exit

• 1 hour divided into n equal blocks

• First half: Try limit orders every 10 seconds

• Second half: Try limit exit, market if needed

• Best for: Stable markets, fee optimization

Timeline Example (1 block):
|---Try Limit Entry---|---Try Limit Exit---|
    (10s intervals)      (10s intervals)

🔵 RANDOM Mode

Strategy: Natural mixed pattern

• Randomly chooses MARKET or LIMIT for each interval

• Creates organic-looking trading patterns

• Best for: Balanced approach, avoiding patterns

📐 Timing Formula Explained

How Time Intervals Work

Base Calculation:
average_interval = 3600 seconds ÷ n orders

Jitter Addition:
if n ≤ 20: variation = 25%
if n > 20: variation = 35%

Final Range:
minimum = average - variation
maximum = average + variation

🔄 Delta-Neutral Mode (Lighter-Lighter)

What is Delta-Neutral?

Uses two Lighter accounts with opposing positions:

• Account A → Always LONG

• Account B → Always SHORT

• Result: Zero market exposure, pure farming rewards

Configuration

1. Set up two separate API keys (different wallets)

2. Configure both accounts in the module

3. Select "Lighter-Lighter Delta Mode"

4. Both accounts will mirror each other's timing

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Both wallets must use different API Key Index numbers! For example: Wallet A uses index 2, Wallet B uses index 3. If both wallets use the same index (e.g., both use 2), the system will NOT work!
