## Content

Guiding PrinciplesLuminary is about building a shared myth around The Luminary, open to expansion, interpretation, and transformation. We’re crafting a world together:A living mythos with key events that are retold, and recurring beloved characters.A foundation for future stories, AI agents, creative universes.A shared ethos for real-life builders and dreamers, creating at the intersection of AI and communities.A CC0 IP United around the $LUMINARY token Collective myth-making: images, narratives, and experiences that evolve with the people who care about them. Near-Term GoalsHelp new contributors get caught up. It’s hard to participate if you don’t know what’s already been done. We need better ways to onboard people into the world—context, summaries, maps, references. Ensure quality participation. We’re not aiming for volume. We’re looking for high-effort, high-context, high-impact contributions. To do that, we need a knowledge base and lore map—something like a mythic wiki or story explorer to help new creators contribute meaningfully.Mini-App VisionCheck out one prototype here: 🔗 echoes-luminary-daily.lovable.app Key features we’re exploring:Daily Collaborative Story: Every day, contributors submit one edit suggestion to a shared story prompt. The best version opens for minting at day's end.Echo Map: Explore all contributions to the myth, and add your own.Canon: A curated set of “core stories and images” that form the current myth. Not fixed—just what the community considers most foundational right now. Long-term, I hope these could become a full suite of tools for collaborative storytelling and worldbuilding. And this framework could extend beyond Luminary—to anyone building a shared knowledge base that wants to use fungible and non-fungible tokens to reward community contributions.Near-Term Plans1. Limiting Channel Participation Posting in the main channel feed will be limited to those who have:Engaged meaningfully with the existing mythContributed high-effort workOthers can still comment and participate in discussions—but only channel members will be eligible for rewards during rounds. 2. Weekly Brainstorming CallsShare ideasRiff on story directionsExplore worldbuilding togetherStrengthen community bonds 3. Establish a “Temporary Canon” To help new contributors orient themselves. A snapshot of the most-developed, widely-accepted parts of the story so far. 4. Future Open Contests Eventually we can hold open creative contests for anyone to participate, with prompts like: “This week’s theme: The Fall of Marqala.” These will allow anyone to participate quality work, and winners may be added to the permanent contributor group. This Week: Feedback RoundIf you’ve made it this far—thank you. This week’s rewards will be based entirely on feedback. How to participate:Reply in a single thread (just reply to your own cast)Share thoughts on the mechanics, the vision, the app, or the mythNo need to tag anybody. Naaate will read every thread, and be the only one voting. Only the most thoughtful, constructive feedback will be rewarded. Let’s build something beautiful, strange, and lasting—together.
