We have been blown away by the support of our users, the networks we have integrated and the node operators in these networks. We built Lunie to provide a valuable non-custodial staking and governance experience for everyone and want to make sure that the framework we’ve established is extensible beyond just our development capabilities.

This is why we decided to push the remaining portion of the Lunie codebase, the API and browser extension, open-source. You can find the code for our API and browser extension in a mono-repo here:

Let’s talk about why we went fully open-source:

Greater Transparency

Working on Lunie out in the open makes it possible for greater accountability for our engineering and product directions we take.

Giving Back

We realize we need to give back to all of the different network communities we support as a fundamental element of what we do.

Community Mobilization

One thing we have noticed about integrating several Layer 1 protocols as well as networks built upon those protocols is that we are overwhelmed by the interest and initiative that teams and communities have shown towards getting their network on Lunie. While we are unable to get every network request up onto our platform we want to give the community the ability to run with their imaginations and ingenuity and possibly handle some of the lift along with us.

Many Hands and Eyes On Security

Going fully open source allows us to more effectively approach the security of Lunie and all of the networks we support.

What Will You Build With Lunie?

Of course we support the community to take any of our open source code and use it to build something useful and powerful. While we believe many of the products and features we have brought to Lunie add massive value to our users, networks and node operators, we believe that there is still so much more potential beyond just Lunie alone!

A couple examples of projects that are forks of Lunie include:

Terra Station:

Harmony:
