description

Comprehensive LUKSO blockchain knowledge base for AI agents. Makes any agent a LUKSO expert — covering all LSP standards (LSP0-LSP28), Universal Profiles, smart contract development, ecosystem projects, and developer tooling. USE WHEN: - Building on LUKSO (smart contracts, dApps, integrations) - Working with Universal Profiles (creation, permissions, metadata) - Deploying or interacting with LSP7/LSP8 tokens - Setting up gasless relay transactions (LSP25) - Managing KeyManager permissions (LSP6) - Working with The Grid (LSP28), Followers (LSP26), or any LSP standard - Answering questions about LUKSO ecosystem, projects, or architecture - Looking up contract addresses, ABIs, or API endpoints - Debugging LUKSO-specific issues (permissions, encoding, gas) DON'T USE WHEN: - Working with non-LUKSO EVM chains (use standard Ethereum patterns) - General Solidity questions unrelated to LSP standards

LUKSO Expert

Complete knowledge base for building on LUKSO — the blockchain for creative economies, digital identity, and new social standards.

Quick Facts

• Chain ID: 42 (mainnet) / 4201 (testnet)
• Native token: LYX
• Consensus: Proof of Stake (32 LYX per validator)
• EVM compatible: Yes, unmodified Ethereum execution layer
• Unique: Universal Profiles (smart contract accounts) instead of EOAs
• Founder: Fabian Vogelsteller (also created ERC-20 and ERC-725)

Core Concepts

LUKSO extends Ethereum with LSP standards (LUKSO Standard Proposals) that enable:

• Smart accounts (Universal Profiles) with built-in permissions, metadata, and social features
• Flexible tokens (LSP7/LSP8) with safety features like force parameter and universal receiver hooks
• Gasless transactions via relay service (LSP25)
• On-chain social graph via followers system (LSP26)
• Profile customization via The Grid (LSP28)

Architecture Overview

Universal Profile (LSP0/ERC725Account)
├── KeyManager (LSP6) — permission layer
│   ├── Controllers — addresses with specific permissions
│   └── Allowed calls/addresses — fine-grained access control
├── Profile Data (LSP3) — name, description, avatar, links
├── Universal Receiver (LSP1) — hooks for incoming transactions
├── Owned Assets (LSP5) — registry of tokens/NFTs owned
├── Issued Assets (LSP12) — registry of tokens/NFTs created
└── The Grid (LSP28) — customizable profile layout

Reference Files

Load these based on what you need:

LSP Standards (references/lsp-standards.md)

Complete reference for ALL LSP standards (LSP0-LSP28+). Includes interfaces, function signatures, and implementation details. Read when working with any specific LSP or needing to understand the standards architecture.

Developer Patterns (references/dev-patterns.md)

Practical code examples and implementation guides. Covers UP creation, token operations, permissions, gasless transactions, and common pitfalls. Read when writing code or debugging LUKSO-specific issues.

Ecosystem (references/ecosystem.md)

Projects, team, community channels, grants, and chain infrastructure. Read when answering ecosystem questions or looking for project information.

Contracts & Repos (references/contracts-and-repos.md)

Deployed contract addresses, GitHub repositories, NPM packages, and API endpoints. Read when looking up addresses, ABIs, or integration endpoints.

Key Contract Addresses (Mainnet)

Contract	Address
LSP26 Follower System	0xf01103E5a9909Fc0DBe8166dA7085e0285daDDcA
Envio GraphQL	https://envio.lukso-mainnet.universal.tech/v1/graphql

Common Operations Quick Reference

Resolve username to UP address

# Envio GraphQL
query { Profile(where: {name: {_eq: "username"}}) { id name } }

Check UP count

query { Profile_aggregate { aggregate { count } } }

Follow a profile (LSP26)

const LSP26 = "0xf01103E5a9909Fc0DBe8166dA7085e0285daDDcA";
const calldata = lsp26Contract.methods.follow(targetAddress).encodeABI();
await universalProfile.methods.execute(0, LSP26, 0, calldata).send({from: controller});

Important Gotchas

1. force parameter (LSP7/LSP8): Set to true to send tokens to any address. Set to false (default) to only send to UPs with a Universal Receiver — prevents accidental sends to EOAs or contracts that can't handle them.

2. LSP6 Permissions: Permissions are bitmask-based. Common mistake: granting CALL permission but forgetting EXECUTE_RELAY_CALL for gasless transactions.

3. ERC725Y data encoding: Use @erc725/erc725.js for encoding — manual encoding is error-prone, especially for VerifiableURI and array types.

4. Gas estimation: UP transactions go through KeyManager proxy, so gas estimates can be off. Add 20-30% buffer.
