Lighter Intergrator

Do I need to sign every time I log in?

No, you only need to approve Sandwich as an integrator once per account. Sandwich will then be approved as an integrator until our integrator approval expires or you revoke our integrator approval. You can revoke integrator approval at any time.

Can Lighter ever access or move my funds through message signing?

No. Message signing cannot move assets. Only blockchain transactions that you explicitly approve can transfer funds.

Why does Lighter require signing instead of a password?

Signing is more secure. It proves ownership of your wallet cryptographically, eliminating weak passwords and reducing phishing risks.

Does Lighter store my private key?

No. Your private key remains inside your wallet. Lighter only receives the signed message, never your private key.

What exactly am I signing?

You are signing a human-readable message that proves wallet ownership. Lighter does not ask you to sign anything that gives permission to move funds.

Why does my wallet pop up asking me to sign a message?

Your wallet prompts you to sign so Lighter can confirm that you are the owner of the connected wallet. This prevents unauthorized access and helps protect your account.

Why do I need to approve Sandwich as an Integrator on Lighter?

Approving Sandwich as an integrator allows for all application fees to be replaced by integrator fees on all Lighter trades. Lighter requires your approval to do this.

Is this the same as approving a contract on MetaMask?

No. Signing = proof of identity (safe, no gas). Approving a contract = giving permission to spend tokens (not used for login).

What happens if I reject the signature request?

If you reject it, you simply won’t be able to log in or perform certain actions. No harm is done.

I keep getting an "Invalid signature" error. What should I do?

Try these fixes: disconnect and reconnect your soft wallet, clear your browser cache, ensure the wallet extension is updated, and switch networks back and forth. If the problem persists, restart your browser.

Can I use a hardware wallet?

Yes. If your Ledger or Trezor is connected through a supported wallet application, you can sign authentication messages using that device.

My wallet says “Signature request.” What does that mean?

This is normal—the soft wallet is asking you to confirm the login/auth request. Just check the message contents and click Sign if everything looks correct.

I signed the message, but nothing happened. What should I do?

Make sure your wallet is set to the correct network. Then refresh the page, reconnect, and ensure your browser isn’t blocking any pop-ups.

Is it safe to sign the message?

Yes. Message signing only verifies ownership.You are not granting spending permissions or approving smart contracts.

Do I need to pay gas fees to sign?

No. The signing process is completely gas-free. You are only signing a message, not submitting a blockchain transaction.
