LUX-Core/lux
Lux
Lux is a blockchain infrastructure project providing a distributed ledger and a smart contract platform. It utilizes a hybrid proof-of-work and proof-of-stake consensus mechanism to secure decentralized transactions and maintain network stability.
The project features a peer-to-peer ecosystem that includes a decentralized file storage system for immutable data, a masternode network for governance, and a cross-chain asset bridge. It distinguishes itself with an ASIC-resistant hashing algorithm optimized for general-purpose CPUs and a decentralized order book for matching trades without a central server.
Capability areas cover non-custodial trading via atomic swaps, cryptocurrency wallet management with SegWit support, and programmable logic execution. Security is handled through biometric authentication, multi-factor access control, and hardware wallet integration. The system also includes tools for token data exploration, asset value tracking, and the deployment of white-label wallets.
