About LUKSO
LUKSO is an EVM blockchain based on Casper PoS and is the foundation for the coming New Creative Economy. The project was initiated by Marjorie Hernandez, innovation and product expert who built and led EY’s Innovation Lab, and Fabian Vogelsteller (@frozeman). Fabian was the former Lead dApp Developer at the Ethereum Foundation, author of the ERC20 and ERC725 standards, and built web3.js and the Mist Browser.
BUILD THE NEXT GENERATION OF DAPPS ON UNIVERSAL PROFILES
Along with the launch of LUKSO’s L16 Public Testnet, we’re excited to announce a 6-week online hackathon – the first LUKSO Build UP!
Build on Universal Profiles (UPs), by exploring and utilizing LUKSO standard proposals (LSPs) as well as our developer tools and libraries.
- The current standards widely used in blockchain today are inflexible and limited. LSPs are the building blocks of the LUKSO ecosystem which enable developers to create more user friendly and interactive applications
- Universal Profiles are smart contract based accounts that leverage multiple LSPs to improve the blockchain user experience and onboarding into Web3. They are easy to create and allow creators, brands and users to explore the multiverse with a long lasting, reputable and interoperable digital identity
Join us in shaping the New Creative Economy and changing blockchain for everyone!
