-- On September 20, 2025, Luma Protocol announced its official launch, marking a historic milestone for decentralized finance. At 12:00 (UTC+8), Luma opened its pre-sale, followed by the release of the first mining rewards at 24:00 (UTC+8) on the same day. This launch represents not just the birth of a new protocol, but the arrival of the world’s first DeFi 3.0 system anchored in Hash Power.
The Evolution of DeFi and a New Starting Point
DeFi 1.0 pioneered the era of liquidity rental but fell victim to the unsustainable “farm-and-dump” cycle. DeFi 2.0 experimented with protocol-owned liquidity, yet without real-world anchors, it slipped into financial abstraction.
The market now demands a paradigm that restores intrinsic value while ensuring long-term sustainability. This is the foundation upon which DeFi 3.0 has emerged.
Luma Protocol answers this call by anchoring its value in Hash Power—the essential production resource of the digital and AI-driven economy—infusing decentralized finance with a robust and enduring base layer of value.
Luma’s Strategic Positioning
Jointly incubated by PopChain and Nivex, Luma leverages PopChain’s global user base and decentralized identity infrastructure, alongside Nivex’s compliance-ready liquidity and trading network. Together, they create a complete ecosystem loop that integrates capital, Hash Power, and applications.
This structure breaks past the limitations of traditional DeFi, elevating Hash Power into a financialized, tradeable, and verifiable asset—becoming a key force driving the convergence of Web3 and AI.
The Launch as a Turning Point
From the opening of the pre-sale to the first wave of mining rewards, Luma’s debut signals more than just a technical launch—it marks the official beginning of a new financial paradigm.
It transitions decentralized finance away from unsustainable token subsidies, toward a model grounded in real-world production value. It transforms global participation from speculative games into a shared distribution of Hash Power rewards.
Looking Ahead
With its official launch, Luma Protocol has ignited the era of DeFi 3.0. In the future, it aims to accelerate the tokenization of Hash Power, becoming the world’s most influential DeFi infrastructure and unlocking the next golden age of digital finance.
This is not only a breakthrough for Web3, but also a profound restructuring of the value foundations of the entire digital economy.
