From Momentum to Mission: Lumera Foundry Season 2 Launches

Season 1 of Lumera Foundry has officially wrapped, and the response from the community has been incredible. Over the course of the season, the Lumera community earned over 200 million XP and completed more than 250,000 quests, contributing across social, educational, and ecosystem-focused challenges. Season 1 demonstrated that Foundry can support meaningful participation at scale and laid a strong foundation for what comes next.

With that momentum, we’re excited to announce that Season 2 of Lumera Foundry launches on January 12 and runs through March 31.

What’s Coming in Season 2

Season 2 marks a shift from onboarding to deeper ecosystem engagement. While Season 1 focused on introducing Lumera and rewarding early participation, Season 2 will bring more advanced and exciting quests, with a stronger emphasis on real interaction with Lumera’s growing product stack and ecosystem.

Participants can expect:

Lumera Hub–centered quests, encouraging hands-on exploration of Lumera’s core infrastructure
Ecosystem and partner-driven quests, tied to upcoming partnership announcements
New quest formats that reward meaningful usage, experimentation, and long-term contribution

As Lumera continues to expand, Foundry will increasingly reflect real product adoption and ecosystem activity — not just surface-level engagement.

Season 2 Incentives

For Season 2, a total of 2.5M LUME has been allocated for rewards:

1M LUME is dedicated to Lumera Foundry participants
1.5M LUME is reserved for ecosystem campaigns, partner activations, and marketing initiatives

Foundry remains the central hub for community participation, but this split allows us to extend incentives into broader ecosystem initiatives that bring new partners, products, and users into the Lumera network.

Reward Mechanics

Rewards in Foundry are distributed based on XP earned during quests, calculated as a percentage of total XP earned by all participants. To support our loyal users while remaining fair to newcomers, we are introducing two multipliers:

1.1× Early Engagement Multiplier

Users who complete at least 3 quests per week for 4 or more weeks of the season
Rewards consistent participation in the early part of the season

2. 1.25× Loyalty Multiplier

Users who complete at least 3 quests per week for 10 out of 11 full weeks of the season
Rewards highly consistent engagement across nearly the entire season

Participants who don’t meet these thresholds still earn XP-based rewards, ensuring that new participants joining later can still earn proportional rewards.

Example

Suppose Alice, Bob, and Carol participate in Foundry:

If the total effective XP earned by all participants is 10,000, the XP % of the total is:

Alice: 1,500 / 10,000 = 15%
Bob: 1,210 / 10,000 = 12.1%
Carol: 1,000 / 10,000 = 10%

If the Foundry prize pool is 1M LUME, Alice would receive 150,000 LUME, Bob 121,000 LUME, and Carol 100,000 LUME.

This method ensures both loyal and consistent participants are rewarded, while new participants can still earn rewards relative to their engagement.

Built on Season 1 Learnings

Season 2 benefits directly from everything we learned during Season 1. Quest structure, progression, and validation have all been refined to create a smoother experience and ensure fair, transparent reward distribution.

Whether you participated throughout Season 1 or are joining Foundry for the first time, Season 2 is designed to be more focused, more engaging, and more closely aligned with Lumera’s roadmap.

Join Us on January 12

Season 2 of Lumera Foundry runs from January 12 through March 31, with new quests and ecosystem initiatives rolling out throughout the season.

More details on upcoming quests, partnerships, and activations will be shared as the season unfolds.
