As we approach the next milestone for the Lumera Protocol, we’re excited to share an update on the Lumera SuperNode Program and what it means for the health and stability of the network. Starting December 19, 2025, the program will officially open, and the Foundation will begin reviewing applications for the first cohort of SuperNode operators. If you are interested, please apply here.
SuperNodes are critical to the Lumera ecosystem — they support modular services like Cascade, Sense, and Inference. Because these nodes play such an important role, we are taking deliberate steps to ensure the early mainnet network is robust, reliable, and secure.
Cohort-Based Onboarding for Reliability
To maintain network stability and ensure careful monitoring, SuperNodes will be onboarded in monthly cohorts once LEP-4 is live, which is expected on January 5, 2026. Each month, a new group of approved participants will be activated on the network and receive their Foundation delegation of 25,000 LUME to support node operations.
This phased approach allows the team to:
- Evaluate network health and performance in real-time
- Confirm operators are meeting operational expectations
- Gradually expand the set of active SuperNodes while maintaining reliability
By onboarding operators in batches after LEP-4 launches, we can proactively manage the network’s growth while preventing unexpected disruptions during this critical launch phase.
What is LEP-4?
LEP-4, or the Lumera Enhancement Proposal 4, introduces a robust on-chain health monitoring system for SuperNodes. Its purpose is to ensure that only healthy, reliable nodes participate in the network, and it does so in a flexible and non-punitive way.
Key features of LEP-4 include:
- Periodic Self-Reporting: SuperNodes submit operational metrics (CPU, memory, storage, uptime, network ports, and software version) on-chain at regular intervals.
- Compliance Checks: Metrics are validated against configurable thresholds. Nodes that do not meet these requirements are temporarily marked as POSTPONED and excluded from active selection.
- Automatic Recovery: Nodes that fix issues and resubmit compliant metrics automatically regain active status.
- Governance-Controlled Parameters: Network administrators can update thresholds for hardware, resource usage, and software versions via governance proposals.
- Transparency & Observability: LEP-4 provides on-chain visibility into network health, making it easier to monitor compliance and performance across all SuperNodes.
By implementing LEP-4, Lumera ensures network reliability and consistency while minimizing manual intervention. This system complements our phased SuperNode onboarding, creating a secure and resilient mainnet launch.
What’s Next for Applicants
Applications open December 19, 2025, and selections will begin immediately after review. Cohort onboarding will start after LEP-4 goes live on January 5, 2026. Participants accepted into the program will be notified of their cohort placement and next steps.
We encourage anyone interested in supporting Lumera’s modular ecosystem to apply. Running a SuperNode is not only an opportunity to contribute to the network but also to actively participate in shaping the future of Lumera Protocol.
The Lumera SuperNode Program is designed with network health, reliability, and decentralization at its core. By carefully managing onboarding and rolling out LEP-4 for on-chain health monitoring, we are laying the foundation for a resilient and high-performing mainnet from day one.
About Lumera Protocol
Lumera Protocol is a high-performance blockchain purpose-built for AI-driven Web3 economies, integrating a Validator-SuperNode architecture to enable decentralized AI services, trustless computation, and secure data storage. Built on cometBFT Proof-of-Stake (PoS), Lumera ensures cross-chain compatibility, efficient AI data sharing, and scalable interoperability.
At its core, Lumera’s SuperNode-powered infrastructure extends beyond validation to support LLM hosting, autonomous agents, task verification, and cross-network communication, with governance driven by a stake-weighted system. Its adaptive tokenomics dynamically adjust inflation based on network participation, ensuring economic sustainability.
Lumera also introduces an Action & Agent Framework, powering decentralized AI services through specialized Actions (e.g., Cascade for storage, Sense for verification) and Agents (e.g., Inference for AI computation). By merging AI, decentralized computation, and blockchain security, Lumera sets a new standard for AI-powered applications and autonomous services in Web3.
