New chapter for Lunos: Pivoting toward a compliance-first future
Over the past two years, Lunos has evolved faster than most projects through real-world feedback, market shifts, and hard-earned lessons. Some moments energizing, others challenging, but all of it brought clarity.
It pushed us to focus on what truly works, what doesn't, and where we can deliver durable value.
Today, we're ready to share Lunos' next chapter: a direction shaped by experience, aligned with where the market is going, and built for long-term relevance.
Looking Back: Lessons From 2024โ2025
The past year was challenging for the entire market. There was no alt-season in the last two years, liquidity dried up, and many tokens suffered. But $UNO was hit especially hard, exacerbated by our delistings from KuCoin and MEXC.
When SysLabs became the main DAO Contributor back in 2024, we quickly realized something important: Web3 Insurance, as originally envisioned, was not a product the market truly wanted.
We onboarded clients. We opened new capacity pools. We explored new coverage models. But despite adoption efforts, it was clear that the vision didn't match market demand or timing.
So we pivoted. We rebranded and repositioned Lunos as an operational layer for traditional insurance, a way to bring efficiency, yield optimization, and transparency to one of the world's oldest industries. And throughout 2025, we worked tirelessly to make that happen. We went to events, pitched investors, built pilots, and talked to traditional insurance companies.
But entering traditional insurance is like trying to turn a tanker ship with a canoe paddle. It's slow, bureaucratic, and often opaque. Many conversations took months just to reach the right stakeholders, and many more were never answered at all.
We learned a lot. And yes, we failed a lot, too.
The community supported us even through price declines, but we also understand why many felt discouraged. $UNO suffered, and so did morale.
And as happens in long journeys, the team changed too. Claudio shifted into an advisory role; Adam left entirely. Some of the original contributors remain: Bruno and Misbah, as well as Michiel representing SysLabs. We also onboarded David and Jason as new core contributors, the former leading the tech side, and the latter responsible for everything legal and compliance-related.
Given all these changes, in recent months, we took a step back. We regrouped. We re-evaluated. And today, we're here to share what's next.
The Present: Institutional Crypto Is Finally Arriving
While breaking into traditional insurance was hard, something else became impossible to ignore: over the past two years, institutional interest in crypto has accelerated dramatically.
We saw this firsthand:
๐น Brazil's DREX initiative
Brazil's central bank pushed ahead with DREX, a national blockchain-based digital real enabling tokenized assets and compliant on-chain financial infrastructure. It showed what happens when large institutions take blockchain seriously: they demand privacy, security, regulatory clarity, and enterprise-grade reliability.
๐น ZKsync's Prividium
Prividium demonstrated how zero-knowledge technology can enable enterprise use cases like private asset issuance, secure data exchange, and compliance-friendly deployments. It validated a path forward for privacy-preserving chains designed specifically for institutional adoption.
๐น Vitalik's renewed emphasis on privacy and security
Vitalik's essays and talks in 2024โ2025 placed a spotlight on privacy as a prerequisite for the next era of Ethereum and Web3. Selective disclosure, privacy-enhanced transactions, and secure identity systems have moved from niche research to mainstream architectural goals.
๐น The rise of RWA-backed stablecoins and institutional-grade assets
The sobering of the market, from meme coins to real-world collateral, marked a clear shift: crypto is becoming infrastructure, not entertainment.
And with that shift came new problems.
Institutions entering Web3 have very real needs:
- Security
- Privacy
- Compliance
- Auditability
- KYC/KYB
- Regulatory clarity
- Controlled environments
- Predictable operations
In other words, the opposite of what most public blockchains offer by default.
This is where Lunos can, and will, excel.
What Lunos Will Become: A Compliance-First Edge-Chain on zkSys
Today, we are announcing the next evolution of Lunos: A compliance-first edge-chain built on @Syscoin's zk-rollup stack (zkSys).
Not a general-purpose chain, but a purpose-built blockchain designed for regulated, privacy-sensitive, enterprise-grade applications.
Key characteristics:
๐น Privacy by design
Zero-knowledge proofs, selective disclosure, confidential transactions.
๐น Compliance at the chain level
Native support for KYC, AML, KYB, and auditable disclosures.
๐น Enterprise scalability
zk-rollup performance + Syscoin's modular architecture.
๐น Bitcoin-anchored trust
Through Syscoin, Lunos inherits Bitcoin-level security, a differentiator in a world where institutions demand the strongest settlement guarantees.
๐น A pure utility token
Transaction fees and network services. No ambiguity. No regulatory headaches.
Lunos becomes a compliance and privacy layer, a trusted environment where regulated applications can operate without the risks of open public chains.
Use Cases: Where Lunos Fits
While RWAs are a major entry point, our scope is much broader. Lunos Chain is designed for any application requiring privacy, regulatory clarity, and trust.
Primary targets include:
- Tokenized assets & digital securities
- Regulated DeFi (whitelisted pools, compliant settlements)
- Enterprise data-sharing networks
- Digital identity and credential verification systems
- Banking & fintech backend rails
- Governmental or institutional record systems
A concrete example:
Regulated RWA Launchpads
A compliant RWA or token-launch platform could run on Lunos instead of a general-purpose L2, like Base or Arbitrum.
They'd gain:
- Built-in KYC/KYB
- Private transactions
- Bitcoin-anchored security
- Native auditability
- Predictable compliance tooling
This is exactly the infrastructure enterprises and regulated platforms have been waiting for.
Why We Believe This Pivot Matters
Enterprises, banks, asset managers, and governments are adopting blockchain, but most networks don't meet their requirements.
Lunos does.
We sit at the intersection of:
- Regulated blockchain adoption
- Zero-knowledge privacy infrastructure
- Bitcoin-anchored security
This positioning is extremely rare. And extremely valuable.
Our long-term vision is to make Lunos the compliance and privacy backbone of the Bitcoin-secured economy.
The Role of $UNO
With this vision change, we'll issue a new $UNO token. The new token will serve as the blockchain's new gas token and have its value tied to the utility of the chain:
- More transactions
- More usage
- More demand for tokens
More details on the new $UNO token will be shared in the near future.
Next Steps
We will move forward with four concrete steps:
๐น A new Syscoin governance proposal
To fund initial R&D for the compliance-first edge-chain.
๐น A new UNO DAO Vote
To approve the new $UNO tokenomics.
๐น Private funding round
We are actively seeking strategic investors aligned with this vision.
๐น A new token + swap portal
A migration to the new Lunos token.
OG $UNO holders will be rewarded through preferential swap terms.
Closing Thoughts: A Bullish Beginning
The past two years weren't easy. But they made us sharper.
More realistic. More aligned with what the market actually needs.
This pivot isn't a retreat, but an evolution, a chance to build something useful, lasting, and institutionally relevant.
Thank you to everyone who stuck with us, truly.
The next chapter starts now.
Thatโs a wrap from the @eigencloud Hacker Village.
A week of building, collaborating, and showcasing whatโs next.
@claudioboasss took the stage at The Vault Demo Day to present how Lunos is reshaping the future of insurance.
@BrunoZimpel kept the momentum going by syncing with builders, sharing insights, and staying close to the code.
Big thanks to the EigenLayer team and every builder who made this week what it was.
Onward. ๐ก๏ธ

In times of hardship, the spirit of the #Web3 and #Crypto community can be stronger than ever! ๐ช
Some #Peggys from Brazil are actively supporting the donation campaigns as hundreds of cities are shipping trucks filled with aid to those in need. Pollum, based in south Brazil, believes in the power of technology to make a real-world impact. And together with our @PegasysDAO friends, we are putting this belief into action, not just in tech but in humanitarian aid.
๐ก Hereโs Our Plan:
We are setting up a @RolluxL2 wallet for $SYS donations. Every donation will directly convert into more supplies for those affected in Rio Grande do Sul. From food and water to hygiene products and more, it's time for $SYS to (literally) change lives! โค๏ธโ๐ฉน
๐ Donate by sending $SYS to:
0xD3777412F10D727d8Df08FB56Ac49D2E55939e71
This is a $SYS Rollux wallet! Please check network and currency!
All transactions will be transparent, with detailed accounts of purchases (supermarket invoices) and delivery of aid shared publicly in the following weeks. This campaign harnesses the power of crypto to provide fast, effective support to those who need it most.
This is a moment for us to come together and show the strength of solidarity. Through your support, we can offer more than just aid; we can bring hope. ๐
Together, we can make a difference! ๐
While everyone celebrates the double $SUPR tokens announced on @SuperDappAI's Medium update, it seems like #Peggys also decided to double the fun! ๐
