LP-0010: Technology Portfolio

Abstract

Lux Network has developed a comprehensive portfolio of 100+ innovative technologies across eleven core blockchain segments. We plan to apply for patent protection for these innovations. These innovations collectively enable "the fastest, most secure, and private quantum-safe network of blockchains."

Segment	Innovations	Status
DEX	10	Planning
Consensus	12	Planning
Threshold Cryptography	9	Planning
MPC	9	Planning
FHE/TFHE	8	Planning
AI Mining	6	Planning
Post-Quantum Crypto	15	Planning
Bridge/Cross-Chain	10	Planning
Wallet/KMS/HSM	13	Planning
EVM Precompiles	14	Planning
Enterprise Custody	8	Planning

Note: Hanzo AI infrastructure innovations (25+) are documented separately.

Important Notice

We plan to apply for patent protection for these technologies in the United States and United Kingdom.

Due to patent laws that do not adequately protect inventors—particularly the US first-to-file system (since the America Invents Act of 2013) and UK law which provides no grace period for prior public disclosure—we are unable to share certain implementation details publicly until patent applications are filed. This legal reality unfortunately prevents us from fully open-sourcing some components of our work until we have secured at least provisional protection.

We believe these laws harm innovation and independent inventors, but must operate within them.

Implementation details and source code are released under the Lux Research License once patent applications are filed.

Threshold Cryptography

Advanced threshold signature schemes including dynamic resharing, post-quantum lattice-based signatures, and comprehensive zero-knowledge proof frameworks.

MPC (Multi-Party Computation)

Unified multi-protocol signature frameworks, non-disruptive key rotation, and Byzantine-resilient coordination mechanisms.

FHE/TFHE (Fully Homomorphic Encryption)

Blockchain-optimized fully homomorphic encryption including deterministic random generation for consensus and efficient bootstrapping techniques.

AI Mining & Confidential Compute

Quantum-safe AI compute verification, multi-provider TEE abstraction, and privacy-tiered reward systems.

Post-Quantum Cryptography

Comprehensive NIST FIPS 203/204/205 implementations, lattice-based threshold signatures, and quantum-safe key management.

Bridge & Cross-Chain

Replay-resistant cross-chain messaging, light client verification frameworks, and threshold-signed attestations.

Wallet/KMS/HSM

Multi-curve HD wallet frameworks, air-gap protocols, social recovery mechanisms, and hardware wallet integrations.

EVM Precompiles

TECHNOLOGY PORTFOLIO - PATENT APPLICATIONS PLANNED
Contact: licensing@lux.network

This License grants:
(1) RESEARCH USE - Academic and non-commercial research only
(2) LUX ECOSYSTEM USE:
    - Lux Primary Network (Network ID=1, EVM Chain ID=96369)
    - Authorized testnets/devnets
    - L1/L2/L3 chains descending from Lux Primary Network
    - L1/L2/L3 chains descending from authorized testnets

ALL OTHER RIGHTS ARE EXPRESSLY RESERVED.
Commercial products outside Lux ecosystem require license from licensing@lux.network.

STRICTLY PROHIBITED WITHOUT COMMERCIAL LICENSE:
- Forks of Lux Network or any Lux software
- Commercial products outside the Lux ecosystem
- Competing networks NOT descending from Lux Primary Network

TL;DR: Part of Lux ecosystem = OK. Commercial products outside = license required.

Motivation

Lux Network's competitive advantage stems from a comprehensive portfolio of innovations across every major blockchain segment. We plan to apply for patent protection for these technologies. This document serves as the canonical reference for the portfolio structure and licensing terms.

Specification

This LP specifies the organizational structure and categorization of Lux Network's technology portfolio.

Rationale

Withholding implementation details until patent applications are filed protects Lux Industries' intellectual property rights while maintaining transparency about the scope and categories of innovations.

Backwards Compatibility

This LP is informational and does not affect network compatibility.

Security Considerations

No security-sensitive implementation details are disclosed in this document.
