1.1 / INTRODUCTION
What is $CLIT
$CLIT is the token of the Compound Lit protocol (cLit) — the DeFi protocol for compounding Lighter, on Robinhood Chain. Every epoch, the protocol accumulates $LIT into its vaults. The vaults earn yield based on Lighter performance; the yield is distributed to $CLIT holders in $LIT; the principal is never sold. Backing per token only rises.

2.1 / THESIS
Why $LIT
Onchain venues went from 2% to roughly 19% of perps volume in two years, while centralized venues lost the trust argument (FTX, ~$8B customer funds; Bybit, $1.4B hack). Lighter is Robinhood Chain’s perps engine; Robinhood and Lighter split that revenue, and Lighter’s share accrues to $LIT through burns. Holding $LIT is holding a claim on the venue’s revenue. cLit does not diversify: it compounds the one asset earned where the protocol lives, and pays its holders from the pools it feeds.
3.1 / MECHANICS
Accumulation
The protocol accumulates $LIT continuously, enforced at the contract level. Accumulation parameters are fixed at deployment and published at launch alongside the verified source. At each epoch close, newly accumulated $LIT moves to the vaults in a single public transaction.
3.2 / MECHANICS
The compounding engine
Accumulated $LIT is vaulted into the protocol’s DeFi pools, which earn yield based on Lighter ($LIT) performance. The principal cannot be sold or withdrawn — not by the team, not by governance; the only outflow the vault supports is yield routed to holders, paid in $LIT. This is what “compound” means here: the $LIT position only grows, the pools put it to work, and $LIT itself appreciates against the venue’s revenue through burns. Three compounding surfaces, one direction.
3.3 / MECHANICS
Backing per token
Backing per token = vaulted $LIT ÷ circulating supply. Supply is fixed, the vault only grows, so the ratio is monotonically increasing when measured in $LIT. The site quotes it per 1,000,000 $CLIT for readability. Note the unit: backing rises in $LIT terms by construction; its USD value moves with the $LIT price.
3.4 / MECHANICS
Holding $CLIT
A wallet on Robinhood Chain and ETH for gas. That is the complete requirement. There is no staking contract, no claim step, no registration, no snapshot to catch. Distributions arrive in $LIT at your address each epoch, and your exposure to the vault is your share of supply, readable at any time from the chain.

What the protocol cannot do
4.2 / GUARANTEES
Verify everything
The vault address is public. Every accumulation and distribution is an onchain transaction with a visible input ($LIT accumulated) and output ($LIT vaulted, yield distributed). The site reads its numbers from the chain, not from a database. If a number on the site cannot be reproduced from the explorer, treat the explorer as truth.

Risks
$LIT is a volatile asset; the reserve’s USD value moves with it and can fall for extended periods. “Backing only rises” is a statement about $LIT units, not dollars. Smart-contract risk applies to cLit, to Lighter, and to the pools the vault deploys into. Pool yield is variable and can be zero. $CLIT’s market price is set by trading and can trade below or above backing indefinitely. Nothing here is investment advice.
