Introduction

LUKSO is an EVM blockchain that is social by default and designed for social, cultural and creative use cases
The network was Initiated by Fabian Vogelsteller, author of the ERC20 standard and builder of Mist and web3.js, and Marjorie Hernandez
LUKSO is tackling adoption from a whole new approach by innovating on a set of new standards, LUKSO Standard Proposals (LSPs), and Universal Profiles (UPs). Universal Profiles overcome the limitations of traditional blockchain accounts by enabling more secure, flexible, and user-friendly identities with a gas-less experience. Create a 🆙 here!

Universal Profiles (UPs) are your unified account system for the future. It allows users to manage everything with full control and enhanced security. It is also fully customisable, adaptable and with unlimited profile information your Universal Profile can be as unique as you are
LUKSO Standard Proposals (LSPs) are a comprehensive set of standards foundational to identity and ownership on the LUKSO blockchain. These proposals create an open, permissionless environment that fosters a new paradigm of decentralised applications, enabling innovative ways for individuals to interact and collaborate
