Being an independent artist has never been easy, and AI hasn’t made it any simpler. For every new tool that opens a door, the market gets noisier, faster, and harder to navigate.

LumArt is an experiment in changing that. It’s a space for AI artists to mint their work, get rewarded directly, and align together as a part of a collective. Think of it as a creative co-op powered by mint mechanics: you mint from your own contract, keep most of the ETH, and benefit when the collective does well.

LumArt is built on the belief that a group of aligned artists can do more together than by going it alone.

The idea:

• Artists keep most ETH from their mints, minting from their own contract.

• Winners earn membership, bonus ETH, + long-term $LUM alignment

• Consistent contributors can also earn membership and perks, even if they haven’t won a contest yet.

• Collector benefits.
  

• Mint a 1-week open edition on Highlight

  • Can be any form of AI art, on any subject.

  • But if you want a topic, you can explore ideas around $lum, AI, luminosity, etc.

• Share 30% or more with this address: 0x7da768Cd9a30Edbb5Aff21F14d99a2532aBF1Dfa

  • Swaps to $lum 

  • And goes to the LumArt pool, which will be used for rewards

• Winning artists earn bonus ETH and long-term $LUM alignment (vesting $lum)

• Consistent participation may be eligible to earn points toward artist membership (even without “winning” yet)

• Collectors may be eligible to earn points/benefits too—for supporting the LumArt ecosystem
  
  

If LumArt works, artists will earn more here over time than they would minting solo, and the collective will become a dynamic place for AI artists to support one another, and bring up newer artists.

Create what you want. Align with $lum.
