2. Luniverse Service Platform Update Notice
MossCoin is a coin based on the ‘Luniverse’ network chain.
‘Luniverse’ is a blockchain cloud service platform developed and operated by Lambda 256. This platform provides a development environment where various customer segments can build tailored Web 3 services according to their needs, supporting high-productivity blockchain service development and operation with easy network setup, convenient operation tools, and high-performance chains.
“Nodit”
Recently, Luniverse has discontinued support for the existing Nova platform’s public blockchain and launched a new cross-chain-based platform called “Nodit.”
“Nodit” is a cross-chain-based Web3 development platform introduced by Lambda 256, providing individuals, developers, and businesses with an environment to easily and swiftly apply blockchain technology and conduct Web 3 businesses.
The revamped “Nodit” platform offers a more evolved service compared to its predecessor.
- Access to Public Blockchain Networks
- Nodit supports easy access to various public blockchain networks such as Ethereum, Polygon, and Arbitrum through advanced node services, enabling developers to efficiently utilize multiple blockchain networks.
2. Diverse API Services
- Nodit offers over 400 API services, supporting developers in easily performing complex data processing tasks by providing various tools for accurate and effective indexing of the required data.
3. High Uptime
- Nodit boasts a 99.9% high uptime, ensuring developers can develop blockchain services quickly and reliably in a developer-friendly interface environment. High uptime guarantees the reliability and stability of the service.
4. Collaboration with Global Partners
- Nodit collaborates with globally renowned partners such as Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Polygon, providing additional value and benefits to customers. This collaboration ensures that Nodit users receive better infrastructure and support.
With the launch of Lambda 256’s new platform, the existing ‘Nova’ service has been discontinued. Consequently, all Mossland-related services have been migrated to the new ‘Nodit’ platform, ensuring even more stable support.
3. Open Source Research Project
In our previous post, we introduced Mossland’s open-source research project, and we continue to conduct related research at Mossland.

- Mossland XR Research
1) Overview of XR Pose Estimation Research
We are comprehensively reviewing the latest developments in pose estimation technology in the Extended Reality (XR) field. This technology plays a crucial role in bridging the gap between virtual and real worlds by providing immersive and interactive experiences in Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR) environments. Such research enables more realistic and personalized experiences in XR and enhances physical-virtual interactions.
2) RoboPoseGen
RoboPoseGen is a tool that generates synthetic pose data for robot pose estimation research using Unreal Engine 5.3.2. It is under research to provide essential data for the development and testing of AI algorithms by simulating realistic robot movements.
Estimation Research We are referring to and researching techniques for pose estimation tailored to humanoid robots.
2. Future Blockchain Technology Research
1) Trends in Video Encoding Standardization for Machines:
As the demand for machine vision technology rapidly increases, the need for efficient video compression technology is growing. We are researching how the latest trends and standardization efforts of the MPEG VCM initiative will impact the future of machine-compatible video coding.
2) Blockchain Technology for Inter-Machine Value Exchange:
We are researching how blockchain technology facilitates secure, transparent, and efficient value exchange between machine systems. This research is based on the assumption that machine systems can autonomously perform transactions using digital tokens, cryptocurrencies, and smart contracts. Through this, we aim to explore the potential of machine system-based economies.
3) Recent Research on Identity Verification, AI-Human Discrimination, and Privacy Protection:
We are investigating recent research trends in distinguishing between AI and humans online and protecting personal information. This includes various approaches such as biometric authentication, style analysis, AI-based anonymization, and ethical frameworks for AI applications, aiming to gain a comprehensive perspective on the current research landscape.
4) Recent Research on Distinguishing AI-generated Text from Human-written Text:
We are examining recent research trends in distinguishing between text generated by AI models and text written by humans. This involves discussing machine learning methods that can identify subtle differences in writing style, language patterns, and text sources, and researching the challenges and solutions in this field.
4. Attendance at AI-related Trade Shows
Mossland attended the ‘World IT Show’ and ‘AI EXPO KOREA’ held in May, experiencing the current and future trends of AI that are rapidly evolving. With over 90% of participating companies engaged in AI-related industries, it can be said that there is a global AI boom.
Through the following post, we hope you can feel the rapidly advancing AI industry.
5. Volunteer Activity
To welcome the warm spring weather, Mossland participated in gardening volunteer activities. We took part in activities to tidy up dry and withered plants before planting new seeds.
Check out Mossland’s volunteer activity review, which reminded us that finishing well is just as important as starting anew.
