The TechBeat: Everything You Need to Know About the Lumoz Token Generation Event (12/18/2024)

The TechBeat: Everything You Need to Know About the Lumoz Token Generation Event (12/16/2024)

The entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well in Nashville, and it's not just in the music industry. On December 6, 2024, over 100 tech-savvy entrepreneurs and small business owners converged at Topgolf Nashville with the largest startup and small business accounting firm in the US - Pilot for their inaugural "Entrepreneur Exclusive: Nashville" event. The gathering aimed to equip local businesses with actionable strategies to navigate the challenges of 2025, with a special focus on leveraging technology for growth. The Tech-Driven Entrepreneurial Boom Recent data from LinkedIn's Economic Graph team shows a 29% surge in new business formations since last year, more than doubling since 2020. This trend aligns with U.S. Census Bureau data, indicating that Americans are embracing entrepreneurship at near-record rates. Technological advancements, shifting work priorities, and pandemic-induced necessity are key drivers of this boom. Key Takeaways from the Event The Superfan Formula: Turning Users into Advocates Speaker: Brittany Hodak, author of Creating Superfans Brittany Hodak, renowned for her work with brands like Amazon and Disney, delivered a compelling keynote on transforming customers into passionate advocates. In the tech industry, where user retention is critical, her insights were particularly resonant. “The most effective strategy to stand out in a saturated market is to create superfan customers who will become advocates for your brand. When you over-deliver for customers, they become invested in your success and spread the word to people they care about,” Hodak emphasized. “When your customers can't stop talking about you, you will very quickly transform from being seen as something of a commodity provider, to a category of one — even if you're operating in a very competitive space.” Cash Flow Mastery: Financial Strategies for Tech Startups Speakers: Phil Shmerling, SVP at Studio Bank Cole Levin, Principal of CFO Services at Pilot In a fireside chat, Shmerling and Levin tackled the intricacies of funding growth in the tech sector. They discussed optimizing cash flow, securing venture capital, and navigating the complex funding landscape of 2025. “Our proprietary data shows 30% of Tech startups have less than 6 months of runway left,” Levin advised. “So knowing your burn rate, forecasted burn rate and cash runway is crucial. Tech startups need to be agile in financial planning to attract investors. Building Teams and Partnerships in Tech Speakers: Sherry Stewart Deutschmann, Founder and CEO of BrainTrust Kelley Griggs, Founder of StartupNash Moderator: Sam Davidson, CEO of Nashville Entrepreneur Center This panel delved into the importance of cultivating strong teams and leveraging local networks. With Nashville's growing tech scene, building a skilled workforce and strategic partnerships is more important than ever.

Many attendees were unaware of this new federal mandate, which requires businesses to report their beneficial owners to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) by January 1, 2025. Failure to comply can result in substantial fines and even criminal penalties. Recognizing this, Pilot offered free BOI filing services for eligible Nashville businesses. The Role of Technology in Empowering SMBs Technology was a recurring theme throughout the event, not just as an industry but as a tool for empowerment. Discussions covered: -Automation in Finance: Leveraging fintech solutions to streamline bookkeeping and financial planning. -Data-Driven Decision Making: Utilizing analytics to inform business strategies and improve customer experiences. -Cybersecurity: Protecting digital assets in an increasingly connected world. As 2024 draws to a close, Nashville's tech entrepreneurs are gearing up for a dynamic year ahead. Key strategies highlighted during the event include: -Embracing Emerging Technologies: Staying ahead by adopting AI, machine learning, and other cutting-edge technologies. -Focus on Customer Experience: Differentiating through exceptional service and personalized solutions. -Financial Preparedness: Proactive financial planning to navigate economic uncertainties. By combining expert insights, practical strategies, and opportunities for collaboration, the event equipped entrepreneurs with the tools needed to thrive in 2025. As new challenges arise, particularly in compliance and economic shifts, the tech community in Nashville demonstrates a commitment to mutual support and innovation. Events like this not only inform but also inspire, fostering a culture where technology and entrepreneurship can flourish.

Nashville Tech Entrepreneurs Unlock 2025 Growth Strategies at Pilot's 'Entrepreneur Exclusive' Event

Today, we are excited to announce that the modular compute layer & RaaS platform Lumoz will launch its mainnet and conduct the TGE within a week. A month ago, Lumoz opened esMOZ token airdrop queries and launched the Lumoz OG NFT campaign. To date, over 3 million users have participated in the airdrop queries, and more than 300,000 NFTs have been claimed. The scale of these activities and the large number of participants further demonstrate the community's immense enthusiasm and support for Lumoz's future development. In this article, we will provide everything you need to know about Lumoz and the essential details about the unmissable TGE! Lumoz Development Journey
TGE Timeline
MOZ Tokenomics
Potential Participation Opportunities
Conversion Between esMOZ and MOZ
Conclusion Lumoz Development Journey Lumoz is a leading modular compute layer and ZK-RaaS platform, with a total funding of $14 million. Participating investors include OKX Ventures, HashKey Capital, IDG, Web3port, and Polygon. In terms of market performance, since the launch of its testnet in May 2023, Lumoz has successfully completed three testnet phases: Pre-Alpha, Alpha, and Quidditch. The platform has attracted over 3 million users and gained support from more than 100 top-tier ecosystem projects, growing Lumoz's community to 3 million members. On the technological front, Lumoz remains at the forefront of the industry. Leveraging its "one-click Layer 2 deployment" technology, Lumoz has provided technical services and support to over 20 high-quality projects and Layer 2 platforms, including CARV, UXLINK, ZKFair, Merlin Chain, Matr1X, and Ultiverse. TGE Timeline With the launch and conclusion of the large-scale airdrop and OG NFT campaigns, the Lumoz mainnet launch and TGE are fast approaching. We will also announce the listing timeline soon, so please stay tuned! MOZ Tokenomics On December 5, Lumoz announced the tokenomics for MOZ. The total supply of MOZ tokens is 10 billion, with 66% allocated to the community, ecosystem, nodes, and miners. The initial circulating supply is approximately 11%. The token distribution is as follows: 25% to the zkProver network, 25% to zkVerifier nodes, 16% to early contributors, 18% to early investors, 10% to the ecosystem, and 6% to the community. MOZ tokens will be gradually unlocked over the next 10 years, after which the entire supply will be in circulation, with no additional issuance. More info：https://x.com/LumozOrg/status/1864688725273530507 Potential Participation Opportunities esMOZ Airdrop Query On November 5, Lumoz officially announced the esMOZ airdrop event. The esMOZ airdrop accounts for 10% of the total supply, valued at over $30 million based on a $300 million valuation. The airdrop covers Lumoz node holders, early Lumoz participants, users in the Ethereum and Move ecosystems, including Layer 2 solutions such as Aptos and SUI, PoW testnet participants, as well as users from the Lumoz ecosystem chains like Merlin Chain, ZKFair, Ultiverse, and Matr1x. Additionally, Lumoz conducted airdrops for high-quality project partners and community users from CARV, UXLINK, and other prominent projects. Airdrop query portal: https://lumoz.org/airdrop Lumoz OG NFT Events Since its launch, the Lumoz OG NFT Events has consistently dominated the rankings on major NFT marketplaces, with the current floor price at 15 USDT and Claw units reaching as high as 150 USDT at one point. What makes Lumoz OG NFTs special is that they allow users to unlock and convert esMOZ to MOZ at a 1:1 ratio, providing immediate value returns. Currently, the official platform supports multiple channels for users to obtain NFTs for free. Lumoz OG NFT acquisition portal: https://lumoz.org/og-nft Lumoz zkVerifier Node Public Sale The zkVerifier node, as an essential component of the Lumoz network's verification layer, greatly facilitates ordinary users' participation in the Zero-Knowledge (ZK) computation network while also bearing the critical responsibility of maintaining the security of network data. Lumoz launched node sales six months ago, and node holders are eligible for various rewards, including 25% of Lumoz Tokens, potential incentives from over 20 ecosystem L2s, esMOZ airdrops, Lumoz OG NFTs, and more. Currently, 80% of the nodes have been sold, and the public sales and KOL node incentive programs are still open. If you're interested, you can click here: https://node.lumoz.org/ Conversion Between esMOZ and MOZ Lumoz employs a dual-token economic model, consisting of the functional token MOZ and the incentive token esMOZ. MOZ is primarily used for transaction gas fees, resource usage, and similar purposes, while esMOZ can be used for staking rewards, delegating zkVerifier nodes, and converting into MOZ. Both tokens are integral to the Lumoz protocol. After the mainnet launch, esMOZ can be converted into MOZ under specific conditions. The conversion ratio is 1:1, and conversions typically require a vesting period. However, users can bypass the lock-up period by using Lumoz OG NFTs for conversion. Upon completion of the conversion, one token is burned, and its corresponding token is minted. If a user converts esMOZ using an OG NFT, the OG NFT will also be destroyed after the conversion is completed. For more information on obtaining Lumoz OG NFTs, visit: https://lumoz.org/airdrop. For users who do not use OG NFTs, the following standard conversion rules apply: Shortest conversion period: 30 days, with a conversion ratio of 1:0.25 (25%). The remaining 75% of esMOZ will be burned during conversion.
Medium conversion period: 90 days, with a conversion ratio of 1:0.5 (50%). The remaining 50% of esMOZ will be burned during conversion.
Longest conversion period: 180 days, with a conversion ratio of 1:1 (100%). Conclusion What is past is prologue. Currently, Lumoz is in the final stages of preparation, and we hope everyone can seize this last opportunity to become a part of the Lumoz ecosystem. This is not just an investment in the future, but also the best choice to participate in the revolution of cryptocurrency technology. For those familiar with Lumoz, you’ll know that we upgraded from the Opside brand to Lumoz. The name Lumoz comes from the Latin word "Lumos," meaning "light" or "brightness." It is referenced in J.K. Rowling's bestselling Harry Potter series, where "Lumos" is a spell used to light the tip of a magic wand and create light. By replacing the "s" with "z," "Lumoz" cleverly associates itself with "zk" (Zero-Knowledge Proof) technology.

The esMOZ airdrop accounts for 10% of the total supply, valued at over $30 million based on a $300 million valuation. The airdrop covers Lumoz node holders, early Lumoz participants, users in the Ethereum and Move ecosystems, including Layer 2 solutions such as Aptos and SUI, PoW testnet participants, as well as users from the Lumoz ecosystem chains like Merlin Chain, ZKFair, Ultiverse, and Matr1x. Additionally, Lumoz conducted airdrops for high-quality project partners and community users from CARV, UXLINK, and other prominent projects. Airdrop query portal: https://lumoz.org/airdrop https://lumoz.org/airdrop Lumoz OG NFT Events Lumoz OG NFT Events Lumoz OG NFT Events Since its launch, the Lumoz OG NFT Events has consistently dominated the rankings on major NFT marketplaces, with the current floor price at 15 USDT and Claw units reaching as high as 150 USDT at one point. What makes Lumoz OG NFTs special is that they allow users to unlock and convert esMOZ to MOZ at a 1:1 ratio, providing immediate value returns. Currently, the official platform supports multiple channels for users to obtain NFTs for free. Lumoz OG NFT acquisition portal: https://lumoz.org/og-nft https://lumoz.org/og-nft Lumoz zkVerifier Node Public Sale Lumoz zkVerifier Node Public Sale Lumoz zkVerifier Node Public Sale The zkVerifier node, as an essential component of the Lumoz network's verification layer, greatly facilitates ordinary users' participation in the Zero-Knowledge (ZK) computation network while also bearing the critical responsibility of maintaining the security of network data. Lumoz launched node sales six months ago, and node holders are eligible for various rewards, including 25% of Lumoz Tokens, potential incentives from over 20 ecosystem L2s, esMOZ airdrops, Lumoz OG NFTs, and more. Currently, 80% of the nodes have been sold, and the public sales and KOL node incentive programs are still open. If you're interested, you can click here: https://node.lumoz.org/ https://node.lumoz.org/ Conversion Between esMOZ and MOZ Lumoz employs a dual-token economic model, consisting of the functional token MOZ and the incentive token esMOZ. MOZ is primarily used for transaction gas fees, resource usage, and similar purposes, while esMOZ can be used for staking rewards, delegating zkVerifier nodes, and converting into MOZ. Both tokens are integral to the Lumoz protocol. After the mainnet launch, esMOZ can be converted into MOZ under specific conditions. The conversion ratio is 1:1, and conversions typically require a vesting period. However, users can bypass the lock-up period by using Lumoz OG NFTs for conversion. Upon completion of the conversion, one token is burned, and its corresponding token is minted. If a user converts esMOZ using an OG NFT, the OG NFT will also be destroyed after the conversion is completed. For more information on obtaining Lumoz OG NFTs, visit: https://lumoz.org/airdrop . https://lumoz.org/airdrop For users who do not use OG NFTs, the following standard conversion rules apply: Shortest conversion period: 30 days, with a conversion ratio of 1:0.25 (25%). The remaining 75% of esMOZ will be burned during conversion. Medium conversion period: 90 days, with a conversion ratio of 1:0.5 (50%). The remaining 50% of esMOZ will be burned during conversion. Longest conversion period: 180 days, with a conversion ratio of 1:1 (100%). Shortest conversion period: 30 days, with a conversion ratio of 1:0.25 (25%). The remaining 75% of esMOZ will be burned during conversion. Medium conversion period: 90 days, with a conversion ratio of 1:0.5 (50%). The remaining 50% of esMOZ will be burned during conversion. Longest conversion period: 180 days, with a conversion ratio of 1:1 (100%). Conclusion Conclusion What is past is prologue. Currently, Lumoz is in the final stages of preparation, and we hope everyone can seize this last opportunity to become a part of the Lumoz ecosystem. This is not just an investment in the future, but also the best choice to participate in the revolution of cryptocurrency technology. For those familiar with Lumoz, you’ll know that we upgraded from the Opside brand to Lumoz. The name Lumoz comes from the Latin word "Lumos," meaning "light" or "brightness." It is referenced in J.K. Rowling's bestselling Harry Potter series, where "Lumos" is a spell used to light the tip of a magic wand and create light. By replacing the "s" with "z," "Lumoz" cleverly associates itself with "zk" (Zero-Knowledge Proof) technology. With the mainnet launch and TGE approaching, we sincerely hope Lumoz will become a beacon of light for the ZK track, illuminating the path for the widespread adoption of ZK-Rollups.

Disclosing the Q4 updates that predefine next year’s market. Trump’s victory, Bitcoin updating all-time highs several times, bullish cycle – this is what the market has seen so far in the fourth quarter of 2024. Shaping as a historical pivot for the market and crypto industry overall, Q4 has so much more prepared. This article breaks down the events, which shed the light on crypto’s perspectives for 2025, and discloses what to expect from the following year’s end. Let’s dive in! Crypto-centred policy, Bitcoin, and strategic reserves One of the reasons for the crypto market to revive is Trump’s proactive stance on cryptocurrencies. While earlier expressing scepticism to the cryptocurrency, the president-elect took a contrasting side on the Bitcoin 2024 event in Nashville, Tennessee. Amid the conference, Trump outlined ambitious plans, including maintaining all government-held Bitcoin and establishing a national cryptocurrency reserve. He also pledged to create a "Bitcoin and crypto presidential advisory council" to ensure regulations are favourable to the industry. Shortly afterwards, Republican Senator Cynthia Lummis presented a bill that would add to the country’s existing holdings until it reaches one million tokens, purchased over a period of five years. The idea itself is not new, but its practical implementation has been around for even longer. It is known that the governments of the United States, China, Germany, Ukraine, and other countries possess significant crypto holdings. The formalisation of strategy had remained forgotten until Trump’s victory reawakened debates about using Bitcoin as a core asset for the U.S. strategic reserve. In fact, this became a more tangible concept, as the majority of Congress seats were taken by pro-crypto senators. “The Trump administration understands it, I think Senator Lummis understands it…that’s why it will happen,” – believes Michael Saylor, MicroStrategy executive chairman and a renowned Bitcoin maxi. National crypto reserve is only one of the elements reflecting possible U.S. administration’s course to elaborating crypto regulation. This is supported by Trump’s criticism towards U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Gary Gensler and his strict enforcement measures against crypto actors. When crafted, U.S. crypto regulation framework could kickstart a global course, specifically as Europe is on its way to implement Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) bill by the end of 2024. While the trend of formalising state bitcoin reserves is only taking shape, more than a thousand private companies have already adopted a Bitcoin strategy for their own treasuries. Among them are 62 public companies, such as Reddit and Tesla. Solana in spotlight, Web3-dominance, and AI Agents The attention to blockchain protocols has been exponentially growing since autumn. Firstly, Firedancer came into play. Dubbed as “Frankendancer”, this prototype of a validator has sent shockwaves throughout the community by managing to process over 1 million transactions per second. But crucially, it spurred the l1 token market, already heated enough ahead of a so-called altseason – a period of all-at-once surge for the altcoins. As a result, Solana’s total value locked (TVL) is at its peak of $8 billion. Apart from technological advancements, it was also boosted thanks to memecoins popularity. According to CoinMarketCap, the ecosystem’s capitalisation has grown 28% since the beginning of Q4, as top Solana-based ‘memes’ capitalisation surged nearly 300% since July. Solana’s enhanced position in the market paved a way north for other Web3 solutions. Layer one solution Sui has seen a record $1.5 billion TVL, as its native SUI token grew over 110% since October 1. Meanwhile, WBT – a centrepiece of the Whitechain network – has managed to secure almost 2x growth for the Q4, securing a $3 billion-sized market capitalisation. Apart from L1s, artificial intelligence (AI) is slowly taking centre stage as the leading technology in the market. Specifically, with the AI agents becoming in demand. AI agents operate with goal-oriented autonomy and multi-step decision-making. This allows them to evaluate conditions dynamically, make nuanced choices, and engage in economic and social interactions across on-chain and off-chain platforms. According to Blockhead, this flexibility makes AI agents particularly suited for crypto, a space that demands agility and rapid decision-making due to its inherent volatility and decentralized nature. Such shift is underscored by the success stories of AI agents like Terminal of Truths and the explosive growth of the memecoins $GOAT and Centience ($CENTS), and now, an AI-powered VC – ai16z. The latter one scored 694% in only a week. Last FOMC Meeting of 2024 and Altseason Market expectations are high as never before – perhaps, just like the importance of the Federal Open Market Committee’s (FOMC) December meeting. One will not only reveal the interest rates, but set the course for next year’s macroeconomy and hence crypto market. The outlooks are generally positive, as since the initial September historic cut by 50 basis points (bps), the rates were diminished by 20 bps again in November. Such a tendency has been bringing a sequential liquidity flow into the global cryptocurrency market, while the potential impact from December cuts may be even more pronounced. This influx of capital, which the last FOMC meeting of 2024 may bring, coupled with a more favourable macroeconomic environment, could ignite a bullish wave, positioning 2025 as a year of resurgence. If the FOMC signals a pivot toward easing monetary policy, it might catalyse renewed confidence in crypto markets, unlocking dormant capital and fueling a rally akin to the prior economic expansions. The December meeting thus becomes not just a pivotal moment for traditional markets but a harbinger for crypto’s next big leap. Most importantly, the expectations remain positive, as the majority of investors expect a 25 bps cut in December. To sum up: As the majority of the fourth quarter is far behind, it’s becoming clear that this period is shaping up to be a pivotal chapter for the cryptocurrency market. From critical regulatory shifts to macroeconomic developments like potential interest rate cuts, the stage is being set for a momentum that could drive optimism well into 2025. However, the market cycle’s progression hints at a potential reset by March 2025, marking a crucial turning point. Whether this momentum solidifies into lasting growth or faces new challenges will largely depend on how these Q4 catalysts play out, making this an exciting and transformative time for the crypto industry.

December is Packed With Events That Could Define Crypto's 2025

My girl and I were enjoying one of the first days of a well-earned week of vacation at the sun-drenched Black Sea seaside. Damn near everything was downright paradisiacal until (as you do) we got into a little argument... Here’s the crux of the argument: Being on vacation, you’re inclined to take a lot of photos of yourselves looking fabulous and enjoying the colorful environs you find yourself in, and my girl was a bit upset that I wasn’t uploading more photos to social media of us looking like a cute couple as she was doing. Most of the photos I was uploading were just of me looking adventuresome and generally being museful in nature. In the past, a large marriage ceremony was the way a couple made a public declaration of love to one another; now, we do it by instantly broadcasting JPEGs around the world. Obviously, my girl wants that validation. This is my reasoning… I don’t want to drag her into the public space with me — The internet can be rude and nasty for public intellectuals who take controversial or unpopular positions as I sometimes do. I don’t want her ever to be harassed because of my opinions. The fewer photos and digital paper trails linking us, the better. Different public intellectuals I follow, like Stefan Molyneux, Joe Rogan, or Sam Harris, are careful to keep their loved ones’ images and names hard to find. Mindset guru and culture warrior extraordinaire Mike Cernovich has exposed his lovely wife to deranged harassment campaigns by opening a window into her life with social media. Look at all the harassment and hatred Melania Trump faces. I’d rather maintain a modicum of separation between my public and private life.


I don’t want to feed her vanity too much with an allowance of social media cross-promotion — Likes, hearts, followers, and “friends” are currency in our narcissistic era, especially for women who just have this voracious appetite for validation. Many e-celeb guys do this thing where they pay women to be in their lives with social media attention — I’m far from being a real e-celeb. Still, I know just how intoxicating a deluge of likes, comments, and followers can be (especially for women), and I don’t want to put my girl on that dopamine treadmill to nowhere. Constant social media validation for women is the same thing as porn addiction is for men — it makes them shallow and vapid and poisons any chance of a healthy pair-bonded relationship. I want to be loved and respected for my virtues, personality, and accomplishments - not because of the vague possibility of internet stardom that I can dangle before someone.


I want to limit the encroachment of social media into our relationship — social media makes humans weird, narcissistic, envious, shallow, unfocused, unhappy, and stupid — I do a pretty effective working memory rehab regimen to block the adverse side effects of being a social media power user. I have yet to convince my girl to habituate a similar mindfulness regimen, though, and I don’t want to use social media in a grotesque way to stimulate jealousy and envy among those who follow me. Social Media Compatibility Relationship gurus have long told us that we should, on the first or second date, ascertain the political compatibility of our potential partners. I’d urge the same when it comes to social media usage. If one person is a social media addict and the other hates social media, that sure seems like an irreconcilable difference — why waste time? Delineate your social media following If you use Facebook, create a separate friends list of people you would actually like to hear from and stay in touch with who you wouldn’t mind peeking into your personal life. Facebook gives you the option of delineating who you share what with. Sure, if the CIA is out to get you, they can probably get a hold of your most scandalous social media content anyway, but by practicing discretion using Facebook’s settings, you mitigate a lot of drama and heartache. Many people just opt to leave Facebook, but for many of us, it has become an essential tool for interfacing with the modern world; don’t flippantly broadcast your most intimate moments and feelings to everyone whose friend request you might accept.
