Lúchain

Lúchain is a blockchain platform intended to support scalable, programmable applications. It provides a framework for decentralized finance, non-fungible tokens, and other decentralized services, with a focus on throughput, low latency, and developer experience.

The platform operates on a two-layer architecture: a public execution layer where smart contracts run and a scalability layer that handles throughput via rollups and state channels, enabling higher transaction throughput than traditional single-layer designs.

Consensus is based on proof-of-stake with a finality gadget. Validators stake LÚ tokens to participate in block production and validation, and blocks become final after reaching a protocol-defined finality threshold.

Lúchain aims for compatibility with existing smart-contract ecosystems by offering an EVM-compatible environment and Solidity support through a compatibility layer, along with development tools, wallets, and a test network for experimentation.

The native token, LÚ, supports staking, governance, and transaction fees. On-chain governance allows token holders to vote on protocol upgrades and parameter changes, subject to defined thresholds and quorum requirements.

The project was announced by a consortium of developers and researchers in the early 2020s and progressed through public testnets before launching a mainnet and continuing to release upgrades and interoperability features.

Application areas include decentralized finance, tokenized assets, supply-chain tracking, identity solutions, and data marketplaces. Lúchain is also pursued through ecosystem programs to attract developers, auditors, and enterprise partners.
