Lighter Signers

This directory contains various signer implementations for the Lighter Protocol.

Usage

The Python SDK automatically selects the correct native binary signer based on your platform:

Platform	Architecture	Binary
Linux	x86_64	lighter-signer-linux-amd64.so
Linux	ARM64	lighter-signer-linux-amd64.so
macOS	ARM64 (Apple Silicon)	lighter-signer-darwin-arm64.dylib
Windows	x86_64	lighter-signer-windows-amd64.dll

No additional configuration is required - the SDK detects your platform and loads the appropriate signer.
If you encounter issues with missing binaries, ensure the appropriate signer binary is present in this directory.

Building Signers

These binaries are compiled from the Go implementation in lighter-go and provide high-performance cryptographic operations for the Lighter Protocol.
There are .h files for easier integrations in other languages, like C, C++, Rust.
For building the signers yourself, you can find the steps in the lighter-go repo.
