Q3 was a transformative quarter for Lumera Protocol. Building on the momentum from Q2, we achieved major milestones that laid the foundation for a thriving ecosystem. From record Testnet activity to the successful Mainnet launch, validator onboarding, community campaigns, and wallet integrations, this quarter turned anticipation into measurable progress.
By the Numbers — Q3 Highlights
- Mainnet Wallets: 87,000+ wallets created during launch month
- Validators: 40+ validators live, including Allnodes, Citadel One, Polkachu, Cosmostation, Ubik Capital, Luganodes, and more
- Staking Participation: >45% of circulating LUME staked within the first weeks of Mainnet
- Liquidity: Initial Osmosis pool established with growing on-chain liquidity and yield opportunities
- Community Growth: Social following +65% QoQ, with AMA attendance surpassing 2,000 participants per session
- Campaign Engagement: 1M+ LUME distributed across quests, challenges, and airdrop collaborations
These early results validate strong network demand, broad validator support, and high levels of community engagement.
Business Development
This quarter was one of strong growth and strategic expansion. Lumera successfully onboarded several prominent validators, including Allnodes, Citadel One, Polkachu, Cosmostation, Ubik Capital, Luganodes, and others, with additional agreements being finalized. Validator momentum continues to reinforce confidence in Lumera’s infrastructure and strengthen the foundation for robust network security and performance.
Wallet support also expanded significantly. Both Keplr and Leap wallets now support LUME, making it seamless for users to manage and interact with tokens.
On the DeFi front, we advanced liquidity by launching pools on Osmosis, enabling LUME holders to participate in the broader Cosmos ecosystem and explore new yield opportunities.
Technology Development
The highlight of Q3 was the successful launch of Lumera Mainnet. This milestone activates the protocol’s Proof-of-Stake model, enabling staking, rewards, and validator participation, while also unlocking the foundation for Lumera’s modular services — Cascade (permanent storage), Sense (content authenticity), and Inference (AI infrastructure).
Mainnet launch was more than a technical achievement; it signaled the transition from vision to execution, creating a live environment where developers and users can now build and interact in real time.
Community Development
Q3 was also a celebration of the Lumera community. The September Mainnet Launch brought thousands of people together in a shared milestone, while integration with the Cosmos ecosystem expanded opportunities for collaboration and creativity. From campaign quests and AMAs to wallet activations and validator growth, every initiative underscored that Lumera’s progress is fueled by its people.
The energy from our community has never been stronger, and the engagement we’ve seen across social channels, events, and collaborations reflects just how invested everyone is in Lumera’s journey.
Mainnet Goes Live
Thousands of new wallets were created, validators joined the network, and community members actively participated in campaigns and events to celebrate the milestone. This launch wasn’t just a technical achievement; it was a community moment. Every wallet created, every validator activated, and every new participant joining the ecosystem reinforced that Lumera isn’t just a protocol, it’s a movement built by its people. The excitement and energy we witnessed during launch week are proof that the community is ready to take Lumera to the next level.
Community Events & Engagement
- Road to Mainnet campaign — Over 1M LUME distributed through quests, challenges, and tasks, gamifying community involvement and rewarding early contributions.
- Twitter/X Spaces AMAs — Oversubscribed live sessions (one even crashed due to demand!) provided direct transparency and open dialogue with the team.
- Airdrop Collaborations — Strategic validator partnerships withForbole, BlockHunters, and Helios Staking drove new wallet activations and incentivized staking.
- Wallet Creation Campaign — A key milestone with tens of thousands of wallets created during launch week, reinforcing adoption and giving users a hands-on introduction to Lumera.
Together, these efforts amplified reach, strengthened the community, and accelerated adoption.
Looking Ahead — Q4 2025
Business Development
- Expanded Wallets: Cosmostation wallet support expected soon, further broadening accessibility.
- Partnerships: Actively engaging with leading L1s and dApps across Cosmos, Ethereum, and Solana to integrate Cascade into their infrastructure.
- Ecosystem Engagement: The Lumera team will be present at Cosmoverse, meeting partners, builders, and community members to showcase what’s next.
Technology Development
- Cascade Launch: Decentralized permanent storage goes live, enabling secure and redundant file storage across the network.
- Lumera Hub: A unified interface for staking, governance, DeFi, Cascade, and wallet management, simplifying how users and developers interact with the ecosystem.
- SuperNode Program: Enabling participants to power Cascade, Sense, and Inference while strengthening decentralization and unlocking new opportunities for contribution and rewards.
Community
- New Foundry quests, expanded airdrops, and deeper integrations with Cosmos projects will further scale engagement.
- Q4 will be about scaling adoption — more wallets, more staking, more builders — turning the foundation laid in Q3 into a rapidly expanding ecosystem.
Next Stop?
Q3 marked a turning point for Lumera: a quarter where anticipation became reality and vision transformed into execution. With Mainnet live, validator participation accelerating, and community engagement at record highs, the foundation for long-term growth is firmly in place.
The next chapter is about scale — rolling out Cascade, activating the Lumera Hub, onboarding SuperNodes, and deepening partnerships across Web3. Powered by an active and passionate community, Lumera is positioned to become the modular infrastructure layer for storage, AI, and authenticity across the decentralized internet.
The movement is here, the momentum is real, and the best of Lumera is yet to come.
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.
