When dealing with Dex what you should know is that trust, reputation is very essential and key to safety on those exchanges, even more important than chasing low fees and other flexibility in service delivery.

Also make sure to Keep your private keys very safe and be your own custody very important, always try new Dex with small amount to avoid stories that touched.

Few of above Dex exchange have good reviews on third party platforms, but still we can't rely on that much without doing our own research and taking precautions to avoid falling victim.

I have not visited Lighter before but are you sure about the zero fee on the site? Are you referring to trading and withdrawal fee or just the trading fee?

I think no platform can have zero fee because the owners of the exchange will want to make money and make the business grow. I guess the exchange is only offering it for some period of time for promotional purposes.

Among the list, I only tried Asterdex. It's cool because most of the popular layer 2 networks support it, like  Arbitrum and BNB Chain, as you can use it on Ethereum main net and Solana too.
So if you're not really a huge trader, Asterdex will work, but other traders are using Hyperliquid, which has its own network, but not sure the fees of it compared to using layer 2 networks like Arbitrum/BNB Chain.
