What Lumerin does

Lumerin is a private, decentralized protocol company headquartered in Chicago (legal entity: Titan Industries (Global) Co. Ltd.) that operates a peer-to-peer marketplace for trading Bitcoin mining hashpower using smart contracts. The company's flagship product is the Hashpower Marketplace, launched in September 2023 on the Arbitrum L2 blockchain, where Bitcoin miners route ASIC hashrate through Lumerin's proprietary proxy-router middleware and sell it as smart-contract-based contracts to buyers seeking mining exposure without owning hardware. To date, the marketplace has processed 10,914 contracts and 2,586 petahash-days of cumulative hashrate traded. The proxy-router architecture, which brokers the two-sided market and routes hashrate between sellers' pools and buyers' destinations, forms the core technology moat.

The company's revenue mechanics are token-native: validators stake a minimum of 1,000,000 LMR tokens to validate contracts and earn 1% of contract value, the platform collects transaction fees on marketplace activity, and the staking platform (with 97.1 million LMR currently staked across 9 active pools distributing 13,500 MOR in rewards) supports the LMR token economy. Supporting products include Hashpower Futures (beta, enabling fixed-price acquisition of future hashpower or cash settlement), a multi-platform desktop wallet (Windows, macOS, Linux), and validator node infrastructure. The go-to-market is product-led and community-led, relying on Discord, Telegram, X, TikTok, Medium blog, and open-source GitHub repositories for user acquisition rather than traditional sales.

Lumerin has strategically extended its data-stream routing protocol beyond Bitcoin mining into decentralized AI compute through its core partnership with Morpheus, where Lumerin's codebase powers the core node software of the Morpheus decentralized AI network connecting users, compute providers, and smart agents. Additional partnerships with Phala Network (verifiable TEE compute), Quai Network (cross-chain compute trading), Arbitrum (L2 infrastructure), Exabits, and HTX round out the ecosystem. Roadmap targets include DePIN resource allocation and tokenized real-world assets (RWA), positioning Lumerin as a horizontal infrastructure layer for tokenized data markets.

Revenue model

1. Marketplace Transaction Fees: Fees collected from hashpower contract transactions on the marketplace. The platform facilitates peer-to-peer trading of Bitcoin mining hashpower contracts.
2. Validator Staking Rewards: Validators earn 1% LMR of the contract price when their node is selected to validate a hashrate contract. Requires staking at least 1,000,000 LMR.
3. Staking Platform: Staking platform allows Lumerin token holders to earn rewards. Currently 97.1 million LMR staked with 13,500 MOR in active rewards across 9 active pools.

Core offering

Lumerin operates a decentralized peer-to-peer marketplace on the Arbitrum blockchain for buying and selling Bitcoin mining hashpower via smart contracts. The protocol uses a proxy-router to stream mining data through contracts, enabling miners to monetize idle hashrate and buyers to gain hashpower exposure without owning hardware. It also powers the Morpheus decentralized AI network.

Product overview

Lumerin is a multi-product platform providing infrastructure for decentralized data markets. The core product is the Hashpower Marketplace (live on Arbitrum), a peer-to-peer marketplace enabling Bitcoin mining hashpower trading via smart contracts. This integrates with the Hashpower Futures product for hashprice speculation. Lumerin also powers the Decentralized AI network through its codebase, which connects AI users, compute providers, and smart agents. Supporting infrastructure includes the Lumerin Wallet Desktop application for marketplace participants, Validator Nodes for network security, and a Staking Platform for LMR token holders. The Proxy-Router technology serves as the core middleware connecting ASIC miners to the marketplace.

Products and services

• Hashpower Marketplace A decentralized marketplace where Bitcoin miners sell hashpower and buyers (traders, funds) purchase it via smart contracts; designed for miners seeking to monetize idle capacity and for entities seeking hashpower exposure without owning physical mining hardware.
• Hashpower Futures Smart-contract-based derivative products offering hashprice-based futures exposure on hashpower, enabling traders and miners to hedge or speculate on hashprice movements.
• Decentralized AI (Morpheus Network) Decentralized AI marketplace and network that connects AI compute providers with users, built on the Lumerin protocol to enable permissionless access to AI inference and compute resources.
• Lumerin Staking Platform A staking platform where LMR token holders can delegate to validators and earn a share of validator rewards (1% of contract value) for supporting the network.
• Validator Nodes Validator node operation services that secure hashpower contracts on the network; validators stake LMR, validate contract data, and earn 1% of contract value as a reward.
• Lumerin Wallet Desktop A downloadable desktop wallet that allows users to manage LMR tokens, interact with the Lumerin marketplace, and access protocol features.
