TL;DR
Lumia is entering its most ambitious phase yet. It is expanding into institutional-grade agentic systems, real-world asset tokenization and blockchain deployments for governments and sovereign entities.
Delivering on this ambition demands transformation, as Lumia moves beyond legacy systems and aligns its operations with the regulatory expectations of the world’s leading markets, with the United States at the forefront.
LGP-01 proposes buying back the remaining node rewards, with everything reclaimed going directly into a new initiative. The proposal would position Lumia to pursue larger opportunities and advance its strategic initiatives through two key changes:
Buy back all HyperNode rewards in full. Lumia's treasury pays node owners the full USDT value of approximately 18 years of remaining rewards, up front, at the fixed buyback price of $0.09. The buyback price is over a 10% premium compared to the 30-day time-weighted average price (TWAP) of LUMIA/USDT which is $0.0812. This data comes from Binance's public market for the LUMIA/USDT pair, covering August 29th, 2026 at 16:00 UTC to September 28th, 2026 at 16:00 UTC. There is no early-settlement penalty, and if approved this would conclude the legacy HyperNode rewards program. The USDT amount is not a projection of what those rewards might be worth over the original schedule.
Establish The Lumia Foundation Growth Initiative (LFGI). All LUMIA reclaimed through the buyback moves into LFGI, providing long-term support for institutional adoption, RWA infrastructure, strategic partnerships, liquidity, new deployments and other high-impact growth initiatives, including an upcoming RWA and AI program.
No new LUMIA will be minted. LUMIA’s total supply will not increase. Buyback is in USDT, not LUMIA.
1. The HyperNode Transition
This is Lumia choosing conviction over convenience. The easy path was to let node rewards trickle out over the next 18 years. Instead, Lumia is committing its own treasury to honor every holder in full, up front, and clear the way for institutional and sovereign growth.
Institutional and sovereign clients require clear operational control and firm safeguards against third-party influence and concluding the legacy program supports that objective. The current industry standards fall short of that objective and Lumia is choosing to act now.
Under LGP-01, every node owner's remaining rewards are paid out in USDT from the treasury of the Lumia Foundation, retiring the legacy structure and aligning Lumia with institutional standards. The buyback includes all unclaimed rewards, as well as rewards accumulated during the platform migration period.
Individual USDT buyback = unclaimed LUMIA rewards × $0.09.
With the legacy program settled, Lumia can focus on institutional and sovereign market expansion.
2. The Lumia Foundation Growth Initiative
LGP-01 would dedicate all LUMIA reclaimed through the HyperNode buyback to create the Lumia Foundation Growth Initiative (LFGI). LFGI would support Lumia’s continued growth, with opportunities across four key areas:
RWA and agentic programs: asset onboarding, financial products, enterprise solutions and integrations.
Government and sovereign infrastructure: public-sector blockchain projects, dedicated deployments, and Lumia-powered networks.
Strategic partnerships and market expansion: distribution agreements, market entry, integrations and technology that extends Lumia’s capabilities and reach.
Institutions and developers: builders, applications, and campaigns that drive sustained use of Lumia’s infrastructure.
This would provide the capacity for multi-year deployment commitments across institutional, enterprise, government and sovereign markets, while supporting Lumia’s broader business operations and general corporate needs.
3. Terms and Implementation
HyperNode Rewards Buyback
Lumia's treasury will cover the full USDT buyback. Once implemented, the legacy reward schedule concludes and every participating node owner who completes a claim is paid the USDT amount calculated under these terms. The terms are:
Payment asset and network
USDT on Ethereum. Contract Address: 0xdac17f958d2ee523a2206206994597c13d831ec7
Buyback price
$0.09 USDT per LUMIA
Claims Portal opens
Within 30 days after the proposal approval
Buyback period
Within 90 days of Claims Portal being open
USDT distribution
Instantly after claim is submitted
Claiming
The payment distribution will be held on the HyperNodes page on Lumia Pulse. Once the claim window opens, holders can view their claim history, see their exact USDT amount, and confirm the buyback terms before claiming. Claiming constitutes acceptance of the Buyback Terms, including a full and final settlement of HyperNode rewards and a release of related claims.
USDT claims are powered by embarkAI, the account-abstraction AI smart wallet built on Lumia. Claims may require KYC through embarkAI's native compliance module, to comply with applicable laws and evolving regulatory requirements.²
Token Supply
All LUMIA reclaimed through the HyperNode buyback would be dedicated to the Lumia Foundation Growth Initiative. LFGI would retain LUMIA as a strategic asset to support long-term growth commitments.
LGP-01 authorizes NO additional minting and does NOT increase LUMIA’s total supply.
4. Voting and Participation
Every LUMIAp holder has a say in where Lumia goes next.
Voting takes place on Lumia Pulse → Governance → LGP-01. Anyone can read the proposal. You need at least 1 LUMIAp (Lumia Power) to vote, and you can get LUMIAp by locking LUMIA on Lumia Pulse.
Voting window:
September 28th, 2026 at 16:00 UTC to October 2nd, 2026 at 16:00 UTC
Voting Options:
YES approves LGP-01 in full: a treasury-paid USDT buyback of all remaining HyperNode rewards, the conclusion of the legacy HyperNode program, and the creation of the Lumia Foundation Growth Initiative.
NO rejects the proposal. Existing release schedules continue unchanged through Lumia's Pulse platform.
Final results and participation statistics will be published on the proposal page once voting closes.
5. The Road Ahead
The next era of finance is being built right now. Real-world assets are moving onchain. Institutions are moving from pilots to production. Regulatory frameworks are taking shape, led by the United States. AI agents are beginning to transact and manage assets on their own. Every one of these shifts needs infrastructure it can trust. LGP-01 positions Lumia to become the network institutions and governments can build on with confidence.
In markets like these, speed is the advantage. The alternative is adapting slowly, one piece at a time, while the market moves ahead. Every participating HyperNode holder can settle their remaining rewards in USDT. The legacy program is concluded. Every reclaimed LUMIA goes towards The Lumia Foundation Growth Initiative to establish and win institutional, enterprise and sovereign business and no new tokens are minted.
A change of this scale belongs in front of the community and LUMIAp holders are invited to vote on the decision that sets Lumia's pace for the years ahead.
Lumia is ready to sprint and LGP-01 is just the starting line.
Vote from September 28th to October 2nd on Lumia Pulse.
