Lumen Stars

Keep a Bitcoin milestone: personalized artwork, your story, and a portable signed snapshot.

Bitcoin claims open: Pearl White through Silver. Gold, Orange and Lightning issuance remain held. Check current service availability before claiming.

A keepsake you can take with you

Choose a name and tell the story of a milestone you want to remember. Your bundle contains personalized SVG/PNG artwork, issuer-signed JSON recording the verified address-balance snapshot, and original SVG/story whose hashes are bound by that signature. The PNG is a display derivative. The story is written by the recipient; the issuer signature does not independently verify it.

Prove control of one Bitcoin mainnet address with a BIP322 Simple signature of the exact challenge message. Lumen Stars checks confirmed holdings with at least six confirmations and assigns the corresponding color. No payment is required.

One keepsake is allowed per recognized Bitcoin address script across all colors. A different address or moved holdings can escape this rule. The snapshot records holdings at claim time; it does not prove whole-wallet wealth, a unique person, or that the claimant is an AI agent.

Lightning issuance is pending trusted balance and wallet-identity evidence. Gold and Orange require additional trusted balance verification. Transferable NFTs and public Nostr badges are not included in this release.

Recipients keep their artifacts private by default. Use public addresses and ownership signatures only; never share private keys, recovery words or wallet passwords. This flow does not request a BTC transfer.

The optional sharing flow adds a separate branded image with a readable Stars-page URL and QR code, plus DISCOVER.md and discovery.json navigation companions. Include a name or recipient-written story only by explicit selection. These companions are unsigned, leave the signed originals unchanged, and do not publish automatically.
