Swap LUKSO (LYX) on StealthEX: The Blockchain for the New Creative Economy Is Now More Accessible than Ever

2025/08/20 22:22

The cryptocurrency space is constantly evolving, with new projects emerging to solve old problems. But every so often, a project comes along that doesn't just iterate, it reimagines what's possible. LUKSO is one of those projects, and we're thrilled to announce that its native cryptocurrency, LYX, is now available for instant, non-custodial exchange on StealthEX.

For too long, accessing promising new ecosystems has been a barrier for many. StealthEX removes that friction. As a non-custodial exchange platform with no registration required, StealthEX allows you to easily and securely exchange over 2,000 assets. The addition of LYX means that joining the next generation of the internet, a more creative, user-owned, and functional Web3, is now just a few clicks away.

This isn't just another coin listing. This is an invitation to explore a blockchain built for the mainstream, and this article will serve as your guide.

What Is LUKSO? A New Operating System for Your Digital Life

Imagine the history of personal computing. Powerful but complex command-line systems like Unix eventually gave way to user-friendly interfaces like Mac OS, opening the door for mass adoption. LUKSO is taking the same approach to the blockchain.

In the words of its creators, "If Ethereum is like Linux, LUKSO aims to be the Mac OS." Both are incredibly powerful systems built on similar foundational principles (the EVM), but LUKSO is designed from the ground up with user experience and real-world utility at its core.

This vision isn't accidental. LUKSO's founder, Fabian Vogelsteller, was a core developer at Ethereum and the mind behind the ERC-20 token standard, which powers thousands of digital assets today. He sees LUKSO as the continuation of Ethereum's original, broader vision—a world computer not just for finance, but for culture, community, and identity.

The Core Innovation: Universal Profiles

The centerpiece of the LUKSO ecosystem is the Universal Profile. Forget the clunky hexadecimal addresses and the disjointed experience of managing multiple wallets and social accounts. A Universal Profile is a smart contract-based, on-chain identity that is simultaneously your profile and your wallet.

Based on new standards like “ERC725 Account” and “LSP3 Universal Profile Metadata”, these profiles are a quantum leap forward:

  • You Own It: Unlike your profile on a social media site, your Universal Profile is 100% owned and controlled by you. It can't be censored or deleted by a third party.

  • It's Your Digital Hub: It acts as an aggregator for all your Web2 and Web3 activities, capable of storing information, holding digital assets, and building an on-chain reputation.

  • It's Smart: A Universal Profile can be managed by multiple keys or devices (no more panic if you lose one key!), react automatically to on-chain events, and grant specific permissions to dApps.

Universal Profiles can represent individuals, brands, communities, or even AI agents. They are the foundational layer for true digital self-sovereignty. You can see how they look and function by exploring the profiles of creators already building on LUKSO.

Building the New Creative Economy

LUKSO empowers a “new creative economy” through a suite of advanced tools built on its LUKSO Standard Proposals (LSPs). These go beyond basic tokens to enable what the project calls “Cultural Currencies” and “NFT 2.0”.

Imagine a musician issuing their own branded token that gives fans access to exclusive content, early ticket sales, and voting rights on the next album cover. Or a visual artist launching an NFT collection where the assets can evolve over time, receive updates, and have richer metadata attached. This is the world LUKSO is building, one where creators have direct, meaningful, and economically aligned relationships with their audiences.

An Ecosystem Built on Real Strength and a Bold Vision

LUKSO isn't just an idea; it's a thriving and robust network committed to authentic growth. The metrics speak for themselves:

  • Radical Decentralization: The network is secured by over 126,000 validators, and in a powerful testament to its community-first approach, the core team runs none of them.

  • Genuine Adoption: Over 29,000 Universal Profiles have already been deployed on the LUKSO mainnet, with a transaction relay service that has served more than 15,000 unique users. The team emphasizes that these are real people performing real on-chain actions, no inflated numbers or fake activity.

The future is even brighter. The team is developing a trustless bridge to Ethereum using zero-knowledge proofs and is preparing for the full release of its mobile app and “UniversalEverything.io”, a user-friendly front-end for creating and interacting with profiles.

An Easter Egg from the Core: The Story of Burnt Pix

Within this innovative ecosystem, fascinating subcultures are already forming. One of the most compelling is Burnt Pix, the first and only NFT project from former Ethereum lead developer Péter Szilágyi.

A Burnt Pix NFT is a fully on-chain, generative fractal image. But here’s the twist: owners must "refine" their fractal by sending transactions to its smart contract, with each transaction consuming gas (the network's transaction fee) to render a more complex version of the image.

This has created a phenomenon akin to digital mining. At its peak, refining Burnt Pix accounted for a staggering 40% of all gas used on the LUKSO network. The most refined pieces have consumed over 800 billion gas, the equivalent of filling every block on the blockchain for two full days. As the network gets busier and gas prices rise, achieving such high levels of refinement will become astronomically expensive, making these early pieces provably rare and valuable digital artifacts. You can see these unique NFTs on their marketplace.

Cashing In On University Patents Means Giving Up On Our Innovation Future

The post Cashing In On University Patents Means Giving Up On Our Innovation Future appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. “It’s a raid on American innovation that would deliver pennies to the Treasury while kneecapping the very engine of our economic and medical progress,” writes Pipes. Getty Images Washington is addicted to taxing success. Now, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick is floating a plan to skim half the patent earnings from inventions developed at universities with federal funding. It’s being sold as a way to shore up programs like Social Security. In reality, it’s a raid on American innovation that would deliver pennies to the Treasury while kneecapping the very engine of our economic and medical progress. Yes, taxpayer dollars support early-stage research. But the real payoff comes later—in the jobs created, cures discovered, and industries launched when universities and private industry turn those discoveries into real products. By comparison, the sums at stake in patent licensing are trivial. Universities collectively earn only about $3.6 billion annually in patent income—less than the federal government spends on Social Security in a single day. Even confiscating half would barely register against a $6 trillion federal budget. And yet the damage from such a policy would be anything but trivial. The true return on taxpayer investment isn’t in licensing checks sent to Washington, but in the downstream economic activity that federally supported research unleashes. Thanks to the bipartisan Bayh-Dole Act of 1980, universities and private industry have powerful incentives to translate early-stage discoveries into real-world products. Before Bayh-Dole, the government hoarded patents from federally funded research, and fewer than 5% were ever licensed. Once universities could own and license their own inventions, innovation exploded. The result has been one of the best returns on investment in government history. Since 1996, university research has added nearly $2 trillion to U.S. industrial output, supported 6.5 million jobs, and launched more than 19,000 startups. Those companies pay…

Bitcoin Exchange Balance Drops To Six-Year Low Amid Shortage

Bitcoin Exchange Balance Drops To Six-Year Low Amid Shortage

The post Bitcoin Exchange Balance Drops To Six-Year Low Amid Shortage appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The amount of Bitcoin held on centralized exchanges plunged to a six-year low as the asset climbed to a new all-time high. Bitcoin notched a new all-time high on Sunday morning, reaching a little over $125,700 on Coinbase, according to Tradingview. Its previous peak was $124,500 on Coinbase on Aug. 14. Bitcoin (BTC) pulled back by 13.5% by Sept. 1 but has recovered strongly over the past week as “Uptober” began.    “Bitcoin hits new all-time high … And most people still don’t even know what Bitcoin is,” commented Nova Dius President Nate Geraci. “If Bitcoin is able to convincingly break $126,500, then chances are price will go a lot higher and quickly,” said analyst Rekt Capital on Saturday, before the latest price peak. BTC prices reach a new peak above $125,000. Source: Tradingview Exchange balances drop to six-year low The total Bitcoin balance on centralized exchanges fell to a six-year low of 2.83 million BTC on Saturday, according to Glassnode. The last time that there were fewer coins stored on exchanges was early June 2019, when the asset was trading around $8,000 in the depths of a bear market. Blockchain analytics platform CryptoQuant has a slightly lower total exchange reserve figure of 2.45 million BTC, which puts it at a seven-year low.  Both platforms show that the BTC exchange balance has dropped sharply over the past couple of weeks. More than 114,000 BTC worth over $14 billion has left exchanges over the past fortnight, according to Glassnode. When Bitcoin moves off centralized exchanges into self-custody, institutional funds, or digital asset treasuries, it suggests holders are planning to keep their coins long-term rather than sell them. Bitcoin sitting on exchanges is considered “available supply” that could be liquidated and hit the market at any moment. BTC balance on exchanges dropped to…
