Add LUKSO to Wallets​
You can add the LUKSO to any of your existing wallets like MetaMask, Rabby, Rainbow, Coinbase Wallet, Trust Wallet, and others using the following parameters or button:
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Network Name | LUKSO |

3rd party RPC providers​
Developers can use the services of the following 3rd party providers:
- Thirdweb RPC URL:
https://42.rpc.thirdweb.com - SigmaCore RPC URL:
https://rpc.lukso.sigmacore.io(increased-limit packages available) - NowNodes RPC URL:
https://lukso.nownodes.io(requires API key) - Envio RPC URL:
https://lukso.rpc.hypersync.xyz(optimized read-only)
We recommend developers to use these RPC providers over our public RPC URL as they provide better performance and stability.
Network Architecture​
The LUKSO's Blockchain runs an unmodified version of the Ethereum protocol. The network architecture consists of 2 to 4 clients:
- The consensus client running Casper the Friendly Finality Gadget (Casper FFG) plus LMD-GHOST fork choice algorithm (More on the Gasper Consensus)
- The execution client, running the Ethereum Virtual Machine
IPFS Storage​
We highly recommend that developers fetch and store profile or asset data using their own IPFS gateway solutions like Pinata or Infura for production needs, ensuring distribution and availability across the IPFS network. We do not provide an official gateway for uploading asset data. For development purposes, you may use the following RPC to fetch data:
- IPFS Download (for development only):

This gateway is intended for development purposes. We do not guarantee any SLA, and rate limits may apply.
