# Overview ### **Abstract** **Version:** 1.0\ **Date:** February 2, 2026 This paper introduces **Lumexo**, a **self-custodial wallet** and **decentralized finance interface** built on the [**Stellar network**](https://stellar.org/). **Lumexo provides a unified environment** for **asset management**, **on-chain trading**, **liquidity provision**, and **decentralized lending**, while **preserving full user control over private keys**. By integrating **native decentralized exchange access**, **liquidity pools**, **fiat on-ramps**, **lending protocols**, and other **decentralized financial primitives** into a **single non-custodial interface**, **Lumexo reduces fragmentation across financial tools** and **simplifies access to decentralized markets** without **compromising security or performance**. ***
### **Introduction** **Self-custodial wallets** serve as the **primary access point to decentralized finance**. They are responsible not only for **asset storage**, but also for enabling **interaction with on-chain liquidity**, **trading venues**, and **financial protocols**. Despite this **central role**, most wallets remain **functionally fragmented**, forcing users to rely on **multiple platforms** to **manage assets**, **trade**, **provide liquidity**, or **access lending markets**. This **fragmentation introduces unnecessary complexity**, **inconsistent security models**, and **operational risk**. Users are often required to **move assets between applications**, **expose themselves to varying trust assumptions**, or **sacrifice usability** in order to **retain custody of their funds**. As **decentralized finance expands in scope**, this **disjointed approach becomes increasingly inefficient**. **Lumexo represents a unified approach to self-custodial wallet design**, consolidating **core wallet functionality** with **native access to the DEX**, **liquidity pools**, **fiat on-ramps**, and **decentralized financial protocols** within a **single non-custodial interface**. The **current implementation of Lumexo** is built on the [**Stellar network**](https://stellar.org/). By combining **client-side cryptographic security** with **integrated protocol access**, **Lumexo enables users to interact with decentralized markets efficiently** while **maintaining full control over their assets**. # The Problem ### Custody Risk
Most users continue to rely on **centralized platforms for convenience**, at the cost of relinquishing control over their assets. This introduces **counterparty risk**, including fund freezes, mismanagement, and insolvency events. Even when **self-custodial alternatives** are available, users often lack sufficient safeguards or clarity to operate them safely.. **Example:**\ Historical failures of centralized platforms have demonstrated that when **custody is delegated to third parties**, users ultimately bear the **full impact of operational failures and insolvency**. *** ### High Fees, Network Congestion, and Execution Failure
On many widely used blockchain networks, **transaction costs and execution reliability remain unpredictable**. During periods of high demand, basic operations such as swaps or transfers may become **prohibitively expensive, delayed, or fail entirely** due to network congestion. **Example:**\ In periods of peak activity on general-purpose blockchains, **transaction fees can spike dramatically**, causing swaps to revert or transfers to become **economically infeasible for everyday users**. *** ### Fragmented Liquidity
Decentralized liquidity is commonly spread across multiple protocols and interfaces. Users are required to navigate **separate platforms for trading, liquidity provision, lending, and portfolio tracking**, each with **different data models and security assumptions**. **Example:**\ A user may be forced to **swap assets on one platform, provide liquidity on another, and track positions through a third-party dashboard**, increasing **operational complexity** and reducing **capital efficiency**. *** ### Inefficient Global Payments
Despite the global nature of blockchain networks, **cross-border value transfer remains inefficient** for many users. **High fees, slow settlement, and fragmented fiat on-ramps** limit practical usage for international payments and remittances. **Example:**\ While stable-value assets such as USD- and EUR-denominated tokens exist, **accessing and transferring them across borders often requires multiple intermediaries**, resulting in **delays and additional costs**. *** ### Complex User Workflows
Decentralized finance systems frequently assume a **high level of technical knowledge**. Concepts such as gas fees, transaction signing, liquidity pools, and smart contract interactions **create friction for non-technical users** and discourage adoption. **Example:**\ Users are often required to approve **opaque transactions** or manage **multiple parameters without fully understanding the associated risks**, leading to hesitation or **costly mistakes**. *** ### Ecosystem Fragmentation
Interoperability between blockchains remains **limited**, and interacting across ecosystems introduces **additional complexity and cost**. At the same time, many platforms lack **developer-friendly tooling**, **consistent interfaces**, or **cohesive environments** for building and deploying applications. **Example:**\ Developers may need to maintain **separate integrations, user interfaces, and infrastructure for each network**, reinforcing **fragmentation across the ecosystem**. *** ### Wallet-Centric Limitations
Most wallets function primarily as **transaction signers rather than comprehensive financial interfaces**. Advanced functionality is delegated to external platforms, resulting in **restricted user interfaces**, **limited transparency**, and **fragmented workflows**. Within specific ecosystems, including Stellar, users often **lack a unified environment** to manage assets, access decentralized applications, and interact with financial protocols, while developers face **fragmented tooling and inconsistent integration paths**. **Example:**\ Portfolio visibility, transaction history, and protocol interactions are commonly spread across multiple applications, making it **difficult for users to maintain a coherent view of their financial activity**. *** # Design Rationale
### Eliminating Custodial-Risk **Lumexo** is designed around **self-custody as a foundational principle**, rather than an optional feature. Users retain **full control over their private keys at all times**, while all financial interactions are executed **directly on-chain without reliance on custodial intermediaries**. This approach **eliminates counterparty risk** while preserving the core guarantees of decentralized finance. Rather than shifting complexity entirely onto the user, **Lumexo** combines self-custody with a **structured interface that makes secure interaction practical and accessible**. *** ### Reducing Context Fragmentation Most existing wallets function as **passive signing tools**, delegating financial logic and user experience to external applications. **Lumexo adopts a different model**, positioning the wallet itself as the **primary financial interface**. All critical actions — asset management, trading, liquidity provision, lending, and payments are initiated, contextualized, and reviewed within a **single, consistent environment**. This reduces fragmentation, improves clarity, and allows users to **understand the intent and impact of each action before execution**. *** ### Eliminating Fragmented Workflows Fragmented workflows across multiple platforms introduce **unnecessary complexity and operational risk**. **Lumexo is designed to unify access to decentralized financial primitives within a single interface**, consolidating market access, liquidity participation, and lending interactions under a **coherent user experience**. By treating decentralized exchange access, liquidity pools, and lending protocols as **integrated components rather than external destinations**, **Lumexo reduces friction and improves capital efficiency**. *** ### Ensuring Predictable Execution Reliable financial interaction requires **predictable transaction behavior and consistent execution costs**. **Lumexo prioritizes architectures and network primitives** that enable **fast settlement, low and stable fees, and dependable transaction execution**, even during periods of increased demand. This design principle ensures that basic financial actions such as transfers, swaps, and payments remain **accessible and reliable for everyday use**. *** ### Prioritizing Global Value Transfer **Lumexo** is designed with **cross-border value transfer as a core capability**. The platform supports **global payments using digital assets**, including stablecoins and tokenized real-world assets, enabling **efficient international value transfer without reliance on traditional intermediaries**. By integrating **payment flows directly into the wallet interface**, **Lumexo enables users to move value globally with minimal friction and clear settlement behavior**. *** ### Avoiding Generic Abstractions Generic, network-agnostic wallet designs often fail to fully leverage the capabilities of the underlying blockchain networks they support. **Lumexo adopts a network-native approach**, allowing the wallet to utilize **protocol-level primitives** such as native decentralized exchanges, asset models, and smart contract functionality. This approach enables **more efficient interaction patterns**, **improved user experience**, and **reduced reliance on external abstractions**. *** ### Preventing Blind Execution External execution layers, such as browser extensions or signing adapters, should not dictate transaction context or user experience. **Lumexo separates decision-making from execution** by ensuring that **transaction intent, validation, and context are presented within the wallet interface prior to signing**. This model **reduces reliance on opaque approval prompts**, **mitigates blind signing risks**, and allows execution layers to function as **secure adapters rather than primary control surfaces**. *** ### Extending without Fragmentation As decentralized finance continues to evolve, new financial primitives and tools will emerge. **Lumexo is designed with extensibility in mind**, enabling the integration of **additional decentralized financial functionality without compromising the coherence of the core architecture**. This ensures that the platform can evolve alongside the ecosystem while maintaining a **consistent security model and user experience**. *** # Architecture Overview
### **Client & Wallet Layer** The **client and wallet layer** is responsible for **wallet creation, import, and connection flows**. It supports **both locally managed wallets and externally delegated signing** through compatible Stellar wallets. This layer handles **transaction construction and user confirmation prior to signing**. **Private keys remain under user control at all times** and are **never transmitted to Lumexo infrastructure**. *** ### **Application Logic** The **application coordination layer** manages interaction flows for **asset management, trading, liquidity participation, lending, and payments**. It **standardizes how decentralized financial operations are prepared and executed**, ensuring **consistent behavior across supported use cases**. *** ### **Stellar Network Layer** The **Stellar network functions as the execution and settlement layer** for all transactions. **Lumexo leverages native Stellar primitives**, including **decentralized exchange functionality**, **automated market makers**, and **Soroban-based smart contracts**. *** ### **Data & Indexing** **Data and indexing services** aggregate and cache on-chain information required for **portfolio views, market data, liquidity metrics, and historical activity**. These services **do not participate in transaction execution or custody**. The **Stellar network remains the authoritative source of truth** for all balances and transaction state. *** ### **External dApp Interaction** **Lumexo supports interoperability with external decentralized applications** by acting as a **signing surface rather than an execution intermediary**. In this model, **third-party applications generate transaction requests**, which are **presented to the user within Lumexo for review and approval prior to signing**. *** #### **Architectural Scope**
This section provides a **high-level overview of the Lumexo system architecture**. **Detailed implementation specifics**, transaction flows, signing mechanisms, and integration details are **documented separately in the technical documentation**. *** # Security & Custody Model
### **Custody Boundaries** All assets associated with wallets created or connected through **Lumexo remain under direct user custody**. **Lumexo does not hold funds, control accounts, or act on behalf of users in any execution capacity**. Custody is enforced by design: **transactions are cryptographically signed locally by users on their own devices** and **submitted directly to the Stellar network**, without passing through **Lumexo-operated infrastructure**. *** ### **Keys Control** **Private keys are owned and controlled exclusively by users**. Keys may be managed locally within **user-controlled environments** or **delegated to external wallet providers** selected by the user. **Signing authority always resides with the user**. **Lumexo cannot generate signatures, initiate transactions, or modify transaction payloads without direct user approval**. *** ### **User Authorization Model** All transaction execution is initiated through **explicit user action**. **Transaction intent and parameters are presented for review prior to signing**, ensuring that authorization is **deliberate and informed**. There are **no background transactions, automated executions, or implicit approvals** within the system. **Each transaction requires an explicit signing event**. *** ### **Backend Trust Assumptions** **Lumexo backend services are limited to data aggregation, indexing, and performance optimization**. They **do not participate in custody, key management, or transaction authorization**. **All asset control and transaction settlement remain governed by the underlying network and user-controlled signing processes**. *** ### **External Wallets and dApps** When external wallets or third-party applications are used, **Lumexo functions as a coordination and presentation layer rather than an execution intermediary**. **Transaction requests originate externally and are authorized directly by the user** through compatible signing layers. **Lumexo does not alter protocol logic, enforce execution rules, or mediate on-chain behavior**. **Risk exposure remains constrained to the scope of user-authorized actions**. *** #### **Security Scope**
This section defines **custody and authorization boundaries at a system level**. **Detailed cryptographic mechanisms, implementation specifics, and threat considerations** are **documented separately in the technical documentation**. *** # Current Capabilities

Liquidity providers earn a **proportional share of trading fees** generated by on-chain swaps within each pool. **Pool positions, accrued fees, and related activity** are reflected in the user interface based on **on-chain data**. *** ### **Lending Integration** **Lumexo integrates lending and borrowing functionality by interfacing directly with the Blend protocol**. All lending logic, interest rate models, collateral management, and liquidation mechanisms are **implemented and enforced by Blend’s on-chain smart contracts**. **Lumexo acts as a non-custodial access layer**, allowing users to interact with **Blend’s lending and borrowing markets through a unified interface** while **retaining full control over their accounts and signing authority**. *** ### **Fiat On-Ramp Access** **Lumexo provides access to fiat on-ramp services through third-party providers**, currently including **Transak**. Additional providers such as **MoonPay** and **Mercuryo** may be supported in future phases. **All fiat processing, compliance, and custody are handled externally by regulated providers**. **Lumexo does not custody fiat funds or user identification data**. *** ### **Portfolio History and Analytics** **Transaction history, trade activity, and liquidity participation are aggregated into a unified view**. Users can review **historical operations and asset movements** based on **indexed on-chain data**. *** ### **Multi-Access Support** **Lumexo supports interaction through multiple access surfaces** while maintaining a **consistent execution model**. Client implementations act as **access points to the same underlying system logic and custody guarantees**. *** #### **Scope of Capabilities**

## Total Supply The total supply of **LMX** is **35,000,000,000 tokens**. {% hint style="danger" %} The supply is fixed and cannot be increased.\ There is no inflation or minting mechanism. {% endhint %} #### Initial Circulating Supply * **7,875,000,000 LMX** * **22.5% of total supply**
#### Estimated Token Release Schedule The following chart illustrates the expected evolution of the LMX circulating supply over time. The initial circulating supply at launch consists primarily of liquidity provision, early airdrop distributions, and limited ecosystem allocations. Additional tokens enter circulation progressively as vesting schedules activate for marketing initiatives, team allocations, and long-term community distribution programs.
Token burn mechanisms reduce the total supply over time but are not reflected as circulating inflows. As a result, the circulating supply increases through scheduled unlocks while the maximum supply decreases as burns are executed. The chart reflects maximum projected circulating values at each point in time. Actual circulating supply may be lower depending on user participation, protocol usage, and governance decisions. ## **Lumexo Allocation** The LMX token supply is distributed to ensure long-term sustainability, ecosystem growth, and strong alignment between users, contributors, and the Lumexo protocol.
### Community Distribution **35% of total supply (12,250,000,000 LMX)** This allocation is designed to incentivize long-term usage and sustained participation within the Lumexo ecosystem. #### Distribution Model * **Annual distribution window** every **October 8th (World Octopus Day)** * Distribution begins in **Year 2 after TGE** #### Vesting Schedule * Total duration: **8 years** * **Up to** approximately **1.53 billion LMX per year** may be made available for community distribution * Actual distributed amounts are determined based on protocol activity, usage metrics, and DAO-defined criteria #### Distribution Metrics * Allocated to **active Lumexo users** based on on-chain activity and ecosystem participation *** ### Airdrop Allocation **15% of total supply (5,250,000,000 LMX)** The airdrop allocation is designed to reward early users, ecosystem partners, and long-term community members. #### Distribution Model * **60%** allocated to active Lumexo users * **20%** allocated to integrated ecosystem partners (e.g. Blend) * **15%** allocated to long-term community members * **5%** allocated to users of Stellar-based ecosystem protocols, including Stellar DEX participants. #### Vesting Schedule * **50% unlocked at TGE** * **50% vested linearly over 6 months** *** ### Team Allocation **15% of total supply (5,250,000,000 LMX)** The team allocation is structured to ensure long-term alignment and prevent short-term market pressure. #### Distribution Model * **No tokens released at launch** #### Vesting Schedule * **30% cliff unlock** released **18 months after launch** * Remaining **70% vested linearly over 36 months** * Full vesting completed approximately **4.5 years after launch** *** ### Marketing and Partnerships **10% of total supply (3,500,000,000 LMX)** This allocation supports ecosystem expansion, strategic partnerships, and adoption initiatives. #### Purpose * Strategic partnerships * Ambassador programs * Growth and adoption campaigns #### Vesting Schedule * **20% unlocked at TGE** * **80% vested linearly over 24 months** #### Distribution Model * Tokens allocated to a dedicated marketing wallet * Continued vesting is subject to performance-based criteria, including milestones. *** ### Liquidity Provision **10% of total supply (3,500,000,000 LMX)** #### Distribution Model * Fully unlocked at launch * Used exclusively for decentralized exchange liquidity and required protocol pools *** ### Burn Allocation **10% of total supply (3,500,000,000 LMX)** #### Burn Design * Tokens are not pre-burned or held in a separate wallet * Up to **10% of total supply** is eligible to be burned over time #### Burn Schedule Framework * Year 1: 0% * Year 2: up to 6% * Year 3: up to 12% * Year 4: up to 18% * Year 5: up to 22% * Year 6: up to 22% * Year 7: up to 20% #### Burn Governance * Burns are initiated exclusively through **DAO governance** * Burns are conditional and executed only when predefined economic and protocol health metrics are met *** ### DAO Allocation and Governance Economics **3% of total supply (1,050,000,000 LMX)** At TGE, tokens allocated for DAO and governance are issued and held in a dedicated on-chain treasury but remain inactive until governance mechanisms are progressively activated. #### Proposal Tier * **80%** of DAO allocation * Addresses must stake **0.2% of the DAO allocation** to submit proposals * Tokens are escrowed during the proposal lifecycle * Proposal tokens do not carry voting rights #### Voting Tier * **20%** of DAO allocation * Tokens are used exclusively for approving or rejecting proposals * Voting eligibility is determined through participation and protocol usage metrics #### Governance Safeguards * Slashing mechanisms for proven malicious behavior * Slashed tokens may be burned through DAO approval *** ### Reserve Allocation **2% of total supply (700,000,000 LMX)** #### Purpose * Emergency use cases * Unforeseen protocol risks * DAO-approved contingency actions Reserve usage is strictly governed through DAO approval. ## **Lumexo Utility** It is used to support fee-related mechanisms, liquidity and market incentives, protocol access controls, staking commitments, and governance participation across the Lumexo ecosystem and integrated Stellar-based infrastructure.\ \ The utility of LMX is designed to align protocol usage, economic participation, and long-term network sustainability through usage-dependent incentives rather than inflationary reward mechanisms.
{% stepper %} {% step %} ### Fee Optimization and Rebate Mechanisms LMX is used within the Lumexo protocol to facilitate fee optimization across supported activities, including swaps, market trades, liquidity provisioning, crypto purchase flows, and interactions with integrated protocols and the Stellar native DEX. A portion of protocol fees generated through eligible activities may be rebated in LMX, subject to protocol-defined parameters. Fee rebates are settled on-chain and distributed as claimable balances or payments. This mechanism is intended to reduce effective transaction costs for active participants while reinforcing LMX usage within the protocol. #### LMX Gas Rebate Program The LMX Gas Rebate Program defines a protocol-level fee redistribution mechanism applied to all supported activities executed through the Lumexo platform.\ \ For each eligible transaction, the protocol applies a fixed fee rate. Fifty percent (50%) of the collected fee is redistributed to the user in LMX, while the remaining portion is retained by the protocol.\ \ Fee rebates are calculated deterministically per transaction and are settled on-chain as claimable balances or payments denominated in LMX.
{% endstep %} {% step %} ### Liquidity and Market Incentives Liquidity providers earn yield from trading fees generated by Lumexo liquidity pools, in accordance with standard AMM mechanics. In addition to pool-derived yield, the protocol applies a yield adjustment mechanism based on the amount of LMX held by the liquidity provider. Yield adjustments are calculated as a percentage of the base pool yield and do not replace or modify the underlying AMM fee distribution. #### LMX Yield Adjustment Mechanism Liquidity providers who hold LMX may receive an additional yield adjustment applied on top of the base APY generated by the liquidity pool. {% hint style="info" %} For example, if a liquidity pool generates a base APY of 5%, a 10% yield adjustment results in an effective APY of 5,5%. {% endhint %} {% endstep %} {% step %} ### Protocol Access and Fee Privileges LMX functions as an access and configuration token for selected protocol features and fee conditions within the Lumexo platform.\ \ Holding LMX enables access to predefined protocol-level privileges, primarily related to fee optimization and capital efficiency, without altering core execution or settlement mechanics. #### Zero-Fee Core Asset Conversions Lumexo provides zero-fee conversion functionality for selected core asset pairs executed directly through the Lumexo platform.\ \ When conversions are performed using Lumexo-native execution no protocol fees are applied for the following asset pairs: * LMX ↔ XLM * LMX ↔ USDC The zero-fee conversion feature is available exclusively through the Lumexo platform and is intended to reduce transaction friction for users interacting with core ecosystem assets. The protocol may additionally define tier-based fee conditions, under which users holding predefined amounts of LMX can receive reduced or zero-fee treatment for eligible conversions and interactions. {% endstep %} {% step %} ### Staking and Long-Term Commitment LMX staking is implemented as a time-based lock-up mechanism designed to align token holders with long-term protocol participation. {% hint style="danger" %} When LMX tokens are staked, they are locked for a predefined period and cannot be withdrawn, transferred, or otherwise accessed until the selected lock-up duration has fully elapsed. {% endhint %} #### Lock-Up Durations and Parameters Participants may choose between predefined staking durations. Each duration applies a fixed lock-up period during which staked tokens remain non-transferable.\ \ Lock-up periods are enforced at the protocol level and are immutable for the duration of the staking commitment. #### Staking Rewards Staking rewards are time-weighted and vary by lock-up duration. Indicative ranges: \ • Short-term lock-ups: lower relative yield \ • Medium-term lock-ups: moderate relative yield \ • Long-term lock-ups: higher relative yield Actual APR values are variable and subject to protocol revenue, staking participation rates, and liquidity utilization. Rewards are denominated in LMX and distributed according to protocol-defined parameters. {% hint style="danger" %} Staking APR is variable and may be adjusted based on protocol revenue, staking participation levels, and liquidity utilization. {% endhint %} {% endstep %} {% endstepper %} ## **Lumexo Governance** Lumexo governance defines the process through which protocol parameters, economic mechanisms, and system-level configurations are proposed, evaluated, and modified over time. Governance is implemented progressively as the Lumexo ecosystem matures, allowing protocol decentralization to evolve in controlled phases. Governance-related tokens are issued at the token generation event (TGE) and held in a dedicated on-chain treasury, remaining inactive until governance mechanisms are gradually activated. #### **Governance Model** The Lumexo governance framework follows a two-tier structure that \ separates proposal creation from voting authority. #### **Proposal Tier** The proposal tier is used exclusively for the submission and management of governance proposals. * Proposal submission requires staking a predefined amount of LMX * Proposal tokens are escrowed for the duration of the proposal lifecycle * Escrowed tokens do not carry voting rights #### **Voting Tier** The voting tier is used solely for approving or rejecting proposals. Voting eligibility is determined based on participation criteria and protocol usage metrics defined by governance parameters. #### **Governance Safeguards** The governance framework includes safeguards designed to mitigate malicious or abusive behavior. * Slashing mechanisms may be applied in cases of proven misconduct * Slashed tokens may be burned subject to governance approval ***
#### **Governance Evolution** Governance parameters, thresholds, and activation stages may be adjusted over time through governance decisions as the protocol evolves. # Trade & Hold Lumexo? ### Lumexo Token Details **$LMX** is a **Stellar-native asset** and can be identified across Stellar wallets and DEX interfaces using the official details below: * **Asset Code:** [`LMX`](https://stellar.expert/explorer/public/asset/LMX-GCJF4534PAFBOQ6R7QLVMRKUQV2AMNGEXGGDDN2ISYAIN5XPKTLUMEXO) * **Issuer:**\ [`GCJF4534PAFBOQ6R7QLVMRKUQV2AMNGEXGGDDN2ISYAIN5XPKTLUMEXO`](https://stellar.expert/explorer/public/account/GCJF4534PAFBOQ6R7QLVMRKUQV2AMNGEXGGDDN2ISYAIN5XPKTLUMEXO) * **Issuer Domain:** [`lumexo.io`](https://lumexo.io) Depending on the platform, **LMX can be searched and verified** using: * the **asset code (LMX)** * the **issuer address** * or the **verified issuer domain** For the **most accurate and trusted experience**, we strongly recommend interacting with **LMX via** [**LumexoApp**](https://app.lumexo.io/), where the asset is **natively indexed, verified, and officially supported**.

Each wallet is assigned a specific role and operates under predefined constraints aligned with the protocol’s tokenomics and governance framework. All LMX tokens are issued at TGE and assigned to dedicated category wallets. Distribution, vesting, and restriction mechanisms are enforced directly on-chain, primarily through time-based claimable balances and governance-controlled access. No discretionary minting or ad-hoc allocations occur beyond the predefined supply. Wallet activity is publicly verifiable on-chain and designed to provide transparency, predictability, and long-term protocol integrity. ### Community Distribution Wallet (LMX) **Wallet:** [`GAKIG4WICLJJ6OECUYG4N2XCFV47DWBC7W724WILW7KGGDYIBSOA2L2Z`](https://stellar.expert/explorer/public/account/GAKIG4WICLJJ6OECUYG4N2XCFV47DWBC7W724WILW7KGGDYIBSOA2L2Z) **Initial supply at TGE:** **0 LMX** **Distribution start:** **October 8, 2027** **Description:**\ This wallet is dedicated to the long-term distribution of LMX to ecosystem participants and active users.\ Tokens from this wallet are released gradually to support sustained protocol usage, participation incentives, and community-driven growth.
