🔹Technology

The Lum Network leverages the technology developed by open-source contributors around the world that built the Interchain Stack:

• Cosmos-SDK

Cosmos SDK is the world’s most popular framework for building application-specific blockchains. https://docs.cosmos.network/main/

• Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol

IBC is a protocol that allows blockchains to talk to each other. https://ibc.cosmos.network/main/

• Proof-of-Stake

Proof-of-Stake, the consensus method that Cosmos is built on, is a different blockchain consensus model that is infinitely more energy-efficient than Proof-of-Work. https://blog.cosmos.network/why-blockchains-need-cosmos-proof-of-stake-for-a-sustainable-environment-878b3edd2e85

The Lum Network uses these pieces of technology to power the core chain. But the team also built:

• a suite of tools : the Lum Explorer, the Lum Wallet and the Lum Gateway

• a suite of products: DFract and Skeepers Rewards

All the tools and products above use the Lum Network's infrastructure.

Additionally, you can request 1 (one) LUM token directly on our Discord faucet to speed up the process to try out DFract for instance.
