FAQ
Short answers to common questions.
Trading
Which wallets work?
Any EVM wallet that can connect to MegaETH, such as MetaMask or Rabby. You need a little ETH on MegaETH for gas.
Why did part of my swap go through Kumbaya?
Kumbaya was cheaper for that part. Lightbeam splits a swap between its order book and the token's Kumbaya pool whenever that gets you more. See Swaps.
Why did I receive WETH instead of ETH?
Swaps and cancelled orders pay out plain ETH. When someone fills your resting limit order, the ETH arrives as wrapped ETH (WETH, always worth 1 ETH), since it's paid inside their trade. Your wallet page counts it in your ETH balance and has a button to unwrap it. A smart contract wallet or smart account (including a wallet upgraded to one) gets WETH back from a cancel too, so a cancel can never fail on it.
Why didn't my whole limit order fill?
Usually the rest is waiting on the book until someone fills it. The exception is an order that would fill against more than 40 resting orders in one go: after 40 fills, the rest comes back to you, and the form warns you before you place it. Place the rest again to keep filling.
My stop's trigger price was reached. Why hasn't it fired?
A stop fires when a trade through Lightbeam prints at or past its trigger. If the price moved on Kumbaya alone, the next Lightbeam trade on that market fires it. A stop also only fires on trades made after you placed it. See Stop orders.
Can I lose money providing liquidity?
Yes. If the price leaves your range, your position ends up all in one token and is worth less than if you had held. See the risks.
Rewards
Do I need to stake LEAF to earn rewards?
No. There's no staking. Rewards go to traders, by volume.
Does every market earn rewards?
Markets earn at the weight Lightbeam gives them, normally 1x, and one boosted market a day earns 2x. A market without a weight earns nothing. Filling your own orders and the Kumbaya part of a swap never earn.
When can I claim?
One full day after the day closes: trades made on 1 November can be claimed from 00:00 UTC on 3 November. Unclaimed days don't expire.
Does my season pass level change my LEAF?
No. Levels, titles and frames are for show. LEAF is paid only by volume.
Tokens
What is LEAF?
Lightbeam's token. There are 10 million, and 65% of them are paid to traders as daily rewards. See LEAF tokenomics.
I bought LEAF in the earlier public sale. How do I get it on MegaETH?
Use the bridge at lightbeam.finance/bridge. It pays the same amount of LEAF to your MegaETH address within 24 hours, and there's no deadline. See Bridge LEAF.
What does "unverified" mean on a token?
Anyone can list a token, and new listings are unverified until Lightbeam reviews them. Unverified tokens may be copies of other tokens, so check the address.
Can I list a token I already have?
Yes. Use Import token on the Creators page with its address. See Launch or list a token.
Lightbeam
Who builds Lightbeam?
The team behind Nightshade, the order book exchange on Alephium.
Is the code fixed?
Each contract can be upgraded for 180 days after it was deployed, and never after that. See Contracts and security.
