Lumera Protocol is a next-generation blockchain built for the age of decentralized AI, autonomous agents, and permanent data storage. Formerly known as Pastel Network, Lumera isn't just another Layer 1 — it's a purpose-built, high-performance foundation for the future of Web3 services.

At its core, Lumera combines scalable infrastructure with programmable economic incentives, making it possible for developers, validators, and everyday users to participate in a self-sustaining ecosystem that powers AI-driven applications, censorship-resistant storage, and secure cross-chain interoperability.

• Node.js 24+
• pnpm 9+
• For desktop: Rust toolchain
• For mobile: Xcode (macOS) or Android Studio

pnpm install

Run all apps in development mode:

pnpm dev

Run individual apps:

# Web (Next.js)
pnpm --filter web dev

# Desktop (Tauri)
pnpm --filter desktop tauri dev

# Mobile (Expo)
pnpm --filter mobile start

Build all apps:

pnpm build

Build individual apps:

# Web (Next.js)
pnpm --filter web build

# Desktop (Tauri with static export)
pnpm run build:desktop

# Mobile (Expo EAS)
cd apps/mobile
npx eas build --platform ios  # or android

After building:

# Web
pnpm --filter web start

# Desktop
# The built app is in apps/desktop/src-tauri/target/release/
# Run the executable directly

# Mobile
# For iOS simulator: npx expo run:ios
# For Android emulator: npx expo run:android
# For web preview: npx expo start --web

• Web to Vercel (recommended): cd apps/web && npx vercel --prod This builds and deploys the Next.js app directly to Vercel. Vercel handles the server-side rendering, routing, and hosting—no manual steps required. Ensure you're logged in to Vercel CLI (npx vercel login) and have linked the project.

• Web to Other Cloud Hosts (e.g., VPS with nginx): If deploying to a custom cloud host that expects static files (not full Next.js server features), build a static export first:

  cd apps/web
  NEXT_OUTPUT=export pnpm build  # Creates static files in ./out/

  Copy the ./out/ directory to your remote host (e.g., via SCP, FTP, or cloud storage sync). On the remote host, configure nginx (or your web server) to serve the static files: Point the server root to the ./out/ directory.

  server {
      listen 80;
      server_name hub.lumera.io;
      root /var/www/hub;
      index index.html;
      location / {
          try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;
      }
  }
  

  Restart nginx: sudo systemctl restart nginx. Note: This is a static subset—server actions and dynamic features won't work. For full Next.js features, use a host that supports Node.js (like Vercel, Netlify, or Railway).

• Desktop: The pnpm run build:desktop produces distributable binaries

• Mobile: Use EAS builds for app stores

• pnpm lint: Lint all code
• pnpm format: Format code with Prettier
