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.

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.
Let’s explore what AI art can do.

cc @naaate this is a harder ask because keeping art safe and sacred minting sometimes and lots of the time is necessary to avoid stealing “No mint on submission. Mint only if you win. Submit art directly—no need to mint yet. If your art wins a top 3 spot, you can start a week-long open edition mint.”
Could it be something where you can deploy the contract, but the mint won’t start until later?
Could you invite me to lumart please
I dont have that ability. Read the @paragraph ‘s from @naaate on how to get involved. https://paragraph.com/@lumart/lumart-day-1
Week 2: Same as week 1, except - you don't need to use highlight - only 1 submission If you weren't top 3 in week 1, you can choose to re-submit art from last week. 👇
Still need to create a split https://app.splits.org/new/split/?chainId=8453 and share >30% with this address 0x7da768Cd9a30Edbb5Aff21F14d99a2532aBF1Dfa
If you feel like you want to do more for /lumart than just one submission, eventually I will distribute eth to the Cura leaderboard, so for that reason it is worthwhile to post more, and give good feedback to others in replies.
