How the product works, and what changed lately.
LumosCore is a non-custodial DeFi platform on Stellar. You can swap assets, provide liquidity to AMM pools, bridge USDC to and from eight other chains and issue your own token, all without giving up custody of your funds.
LumosCore is non-custodial: we never hold your assets or your keys, and every transaction is signed in your own wallet. There is no account to create. We record your public wallet address once per visit to count usage, and that address is already public on-chain.
Low fees at 0.2%, halved for LUMOS holders. Non-custodial throughout, so there are no deposits or withdrawals to wait on. Listings verified by issuer rather than ticker. Trading, pools, token issuance and USDC bridging in one place.
Freighter, Rabet, Albedo, xBull and WalletConnect. There is no sign-up, password or email — connecting a wallet is the whole process.
LumosCore charges 0.2% per trade, reduced to 0.1% if you hold at least 250,000 LUMOS. On top of that Stellar itself charges a network fee of a small fraction of a cent.
Trading, liquidity pools and the token launchpad run on Stellar mainnet. USDC can be bridged between Stellar and Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, Avalanche, Linea and World Chain using Circle CCTP.
LumosCore charges 0.2% per trade, reduced to 0.1% if you hold at least 250,000 LUMOS. On top of that Stellar itself charges a network fee of a small fraction of a cent.
No. LumosCore takes no fee on a limit order, because a resting order may never fill and charging upfront would not be fair. You pay only the Stellar network fee, a fraction of a cent, whether or not it fills.
Curated is the set of assets LumosCore has checked and chosen to list. Anyone can issue a token under any ticker on Stellar, so we verify which issuer an asset actually comes from before putting it in front of people.
Apply on the List your token page: pick the network, give the asset code, issuing account, description and logo, and pay $250 in XLM from your own wallet. We review it by hand and verify the issuer. Listing is not automatic, but if we say no you get the whole $250 back.
You are refunded in full — the same amount of XLM, sent back to the account that paid it — and told why. In effect you only pay if the asset is listed, and most declines are fixable, so reapplying afterwards is fine.
Getting curated puts a token into Trade, into search and onto its own asset page with a verified tick, and funding a pool makes it tradeable. Beyond that you can buy placement at $15 per 1,000 impressions, with a 5,000 minimum, paid in XLM or LUMOS.
$15 per 1,000 impressions, with a minimum buy of 5,000 impressions, so $75 to start. Pay in XLM or LUMOS. Your placement is shown to people already trading Stellar assets, so the impressions are an audience rather than traffic.
Hold 250,000 LUMOS or more and your fee drops from 0.2% to 0.1% across Trade, Pools and the bridge. There is nothing to stake, lock or claim, and LUMOS held in a liquidity pool counts towards the total too.
Every Stellar asset except XLM is created by an account, and that account’s address is the issuer. It is the asset’s real identity: two tokens can both call themselves USDC and be entirely unrelated.
A trustline is your account’s permission to hold a given asset, and Stellar will not deliver a token you have not opted into. Each one locks 0.5 XLM of your reserve, released when you remove it.
From real trades on the Stellar DEX: what the asset last traded at against XLM, read from the network rather than quoted by us. The dollar figure converts that at the live XLM rate, so the two can disagree.
A locked issuer has given up its own signing keys, so no more of the asset can ever be minted and the supply you can see is final. An unlocked issuer can still mint at any time.
Stellar lets anyone issue an asset with any code, so a ticker is not an identity — hundreds of distinct assets use the code USDC. The issuing account is what uniquely identifies an asset.
Trustlines count accounts that have opted in to hold the asset. Holders are the accounts that actually have a non-zero balance, so the holder count is always the smaller number.
A home domain is a website the issuer has linked to their Stellar account, publishing a stellar.toml file with the asset’s details. An asset with no home domain has published nothing verifiable about itself.
A pool holds reserves of two assets and lets people swap between them, with the price set by the ratio between the two rather than by an order book. Every swap pays a fee to whoever supplied the reserves.
Choose Create pool, pick two assets and an amount of each. The ratio sets the opening price, so match the market rate. Keep spare XLM: a new pool position is a trustline and locks 0.5 XLM of reserve.
Yes. A pool prices one asset against the other, so it needs both sides, deposited at the pool’s current ratio. If you hold only one of them, swap part of it first.
Yes, with no lock-up and no waiting period. What comes back is your share of the reserves as they stand then, which will not be the same split you deposited if the price has moved.
Use Add liquidity on this page: enter an amount for either asset and the other side fills in at the pool’s ratio. A first position also opens a trustline, which locks 0.5 XLM, so keep a little spare.
The reserves are how much of each asset the pool currently holds. Their ratio is its price and their size is its depth, so a bigger pool absorbs a large trade with less movement.
As prices move the pool sells whichever asset is rising and buys the one falling, so you can withdraw less of the winner than you put in and fees may not cover it. A pool is also only as sound as its two assets.
A flat $25: $5 to create the token, $10 of starting liquidity that goes into your own pool, and $10 for pool and network setup. You pay in XLM at the live rate, so the total stays $25.
Connect your wallet, set the name, ticker and supply, and choose how much goes into the opening pool. Review shows the exact cost before you sign, and confirming creates the issuer, mints the supply to you and opens the pool.
Yes. Open Pools, find your token’s pool and add to it whenever you like, since a deeper pool means less price impact for anyone trading it. You can also pair your token with other assets.
Minting here does not curate a token or earn it a verified tick, otherwise anyone could mint themselves one. Apply on the List your token page with the code, issuer, description and logo, and pay $250 in XLM, refunded in full if the review says no.
Pick the destination chain and an amount, then choose a route: CCTP delivers USDC, LayerZero delivers USDT0. Each shows what it costs and how long it takes before you commit. Whatever you are sending is swapped into the stablecoin that route carries, then burned on Stellar and minted on the destination — never wrapped and never held by us.
That depends on the route. With CCTP you do: LumosCore burns the USDC here, and the destination chain mints once the redeem is submitted there. That redeem is your own transaction, so keep a little of that chain’s gas token. With LayerZero you do not — its executor delivers for you, paid for by the messaging fee you already covered on Stellar.
Nothing is stranded. For a CCTP transfer the burn hash, Circle’s message and the attestation are all saved the moment they exist and listed under Awaiting redemption, so you can come back and finish whenever you like. A LayerZero transfer needs no claim at all — it arrives on its own.
Circle’s Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol, run by the company that issues USDC. Rather than locking your USDC and handing you a wrapped copy, it destroys it on one chain and issues real USDC on the other.
LayerZero is a cross-chain messaging protocol, and USDT0 is Tether’s omnichain dollar built on it, live on Stellar since September 2026. The route burns USDT0 here and mints it on the destination, so what lands is real USDT0 rather than a wrapped copy — and it reaches fourteen chains CCTP cannot.
Fifty-two destinations. CCTP carries USDC to Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, Avalanche, Linea, World Chain, Sonic, Cronos, XDC, Plume, Codex, Pharos, Unichain, Morph and X Layer. LayerZero carries USDT0 to Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, Berachain, Ink, Hyperliquid, Monad, Flare, Sei, MegaETH, Plasma, Unichain, Mantle, Morph, X Layer, Hedera, Conflux eSpace, Rootstock, Stable and Tempo. NEAR Intents reaches twenty-one more that neither can -- including the XRP Ledger, Bitcoin, Solana, Tron, TON, Cardano, Litecoin, Dogecoin, Sui, Starknet and BNB Chain -- and delivers the token you pick rather than a stablecoin. The XRP Ledger is among them, carrying native XRP. Six chains take more than one route, and you choose which to use.
CCTP is ready in about five seconds, because the confirmations Circle counts are on Stellar and Stellar needs one — but it is only ready to claim, and you still have to send that claim. LayerZero takes about 30 minutes and needs nothing from you afterwards: it waits 320 Stellar ledgers before its verifiers sign off, then delivers.
LumosCore takes 0.2% of the amount you bridge, or 0.1% if you hold 250,000 LUMOS or more, so send 100 and 99.8 arrives. Circle charges nothing for CCTP, but you pay the destination chain’s gas to claim. LayerZero charges a messaging fee in XLM, quoted before you sign, and nothing to claim afterwards. Both routes show the whole cost before you commit.
As the asset you send, yes. Any curated LumosCore asset is swapped into whichever stablecoin the route carries — USDC for CCTP, USDT0 for LayerZero — and that is what crosses. What arrives is real USDC or USDT0 rather than a wrapped copy of your token, and the swap rate is shown before you sign.
A payment someone has sent that is waiting for you to accept, used when it cannot be delivered straight away, usually because you do not hold a trustline for that asset yet. Add the trustline and claim it.
In Wallet, use Add asset with the code and issuer, or add it from search. To remove one its balance must be zero, so send or swap the remainder first, and that releases the 0.5 XLM it was holding.
No. Your keys stay in your own wallet and never reach us. Every transaction is built in your browser and signed by you, so we cannot move your funds and we cannot sign anything on your behalf.
LUMOS is the platform token of LumosCore, issued on Stellar. It is used to reduce trading fees and to distribute liquidity and holder incentives.
Holding at least 250,000 LUMOS halves your LumosCore trading fee from 0.2% to 0.1%. The balance is checked on-chain when you trade.
LUMOS trades on the Stellar network. You can swap into it from XLM or another asset on the Trade page, using the same routing as any other Stellar asset.
The three programmes began at different times. Native LP rewards started on 15 December 2025, whale holder rewards on 1 April 2026, and Ecosystem LP rewards on 15 April 2026.
Every round, and rounds run from the 1st and 15th of each month, so twice a month and twelve rounds over a six-month cycle. Ecosystem LP began on 15 April 2026, making 1 October 2026 its twelfth and final round.
Ten pools, each pairing LUMOS with one other asset: currently LMNR, yXLM, sages, AQUA, SSLX, SHX, TKG, LIBERATOR, KALE and USDC. Each pays 100,000 LUMOS per round, and the ten are reselected every 6 months.
MCP is an open standard that lets an AI assistant use an outside tool instead of guessing. Connecting the LumosCore server gives an assistant live market data, wallets, pools and routes, and the ability to prepare a transaction for you.
Point any MCP client at https://lumoscore.com/mcp. There is nothing to install and no API key: it is a remote server, so a paste is the whole setup. Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and VS Code all speak it.
No. The server holds no private key and cannot sign anything. A write tool validates what you asked for and hands back a link; the transaction opens in your browser, in your wallet, with the figures in front of you, and nothing moves until you approve it there.
Only what is already public on-chain. It reads balances, orders and pool positions for any address you name, the same way a block explorer does. It never sees your keys, and it is not connected to your wallet.
No. The connector is free and unauthenticated. Trades placed through the links it prepares pay the ordinary LumosCore fee of 0.2%, or 0.1% if you hold 250,000 LUMOS, and limit orders are free.
The tools read Stellar today, which is where LumosCore trading and pools run. Cross-chain transfers it prepares reach the networks LumosCore bridges to, and the connector grows as the platform does — one endpoint, not one per chain.
No sign-up, no deposit, nothing held on your behalf. Connect a wallet and go.
