Guidance:
Although Bitcoin has recently approached the $100,000 mark, many crypto players are heavily invested in altcoins, and their returns may not even outperform the market. Don't worry, the last big opportunity of 2024 is coming, which is the Lumoz esMOZ+OG NFT explosive airdrop combination.
On November 5, the modular computing layer and RaaS platform Lumoz announced the opening of esMOZ airdrop queries, with a total airdrop amount of 10% esMOZ, valued at over $30 million; a week later, Lumoz announced that the OG NFT event was officially launched, and all NFT acquisition channels are completely free. Lumoz OG NFT allows users to directly exchange esMOZ 1:1 for MOZ after the mainnet launch, without any lock-up period, that is, esMOZ+NFT=MOZ. Yesterday, Lumoz announced that esMOZ can be exchanged 1:1 for MOZ using NFTs. With the combination of the two, Lumoz's explosive airdrop combination has officially arrived!

Lumoz OG NFT Acquisition: lumoz.org/og-nft
Market data shows that the current floor price of Lumoz OG NFT is 0.0027 ETH. According to the editor's analysis, this price is severely undervalued. As Lumoz's TGE approaches, the NFT floor price has at least five times more room for growth. In the long run, as Lumoz's potential is released, the price of MOZ will be further elevated, making it an excellent time to buy esMOZ and bottom out OG NFTs.
- The essential scenario for NFTs, unlocking esMOZ airdrop tokens
Just a day before the announcement of the U.S. election results, Lumoz presented a big gift to crypto players, as the long-awaited airdrop officially launched.
In the announcement, Lumoz's official expressed gratitude to all ecosystem participants. "We want to thank every community member for their efforts and contributions to Lumoz's success. Every user's contribution is driving the growth of Lumoz, and we are deeply grateful for this! This airdrop is not only a return for everyone's support but also an important witness as we move together to the next stage!"
Of course, gratitude is not just verbal but also reflected in actions. How significant is Lumoz's official vision?
First, the airdrop value is high. This airdrop distributes a total of 1 billion esMOZ, accounting for 10% of the total token supply; based on the latest round of valuation of $300 million, the total value of this airdrop is approximately $30 million. Both the airdrop proportion and asset value rank among the top in this year's airdrop projects.
Second, the airdrop has a wide coverage and good reputation. This year, several blockchain projects, including LayerZero, have conducted airdrops, but due to various stringent conditions and opaque rules, they have sparked widespread controversy. Lumoz learned from these lessons and extended the airdrop to early Lumoz participants, Lumoz PoW & node holders, high-quality ecosystem users, ETH & L2, Celestia, Move Ecosystem, and other active ecosystem users. The scale of the airdrop is also the largest in Lumoz's history, earning widespread praise from the market.
(1) esMOZ from the airdrop cannot be unlocked immediately
Logically, this should be a win-win outcome: ecosystem players receive the tokens they care about from the airdrop, and the official gains both reputation and traffic by rewarding early participants. However, many airdrop users have "complained" that the esMOZ tokens they received need to be locked before they can be claimed.
According to official documents, Lumoz implements a dual-token model: MOZ and esMOZ. The MOZ token is used to pay network gas, and using ZKP calculations and AI services also requires payment in MOZ tokens as resource usage fees. esMOZ is the network incentive token, and users providing computing power, security, and stability to the Lumoz network (including zkProver and zkVerifier nodes) can earn esMOZ rewards, which also serve as tokens for participating in staking and promoting decentralized governance of the network.
There is a certain exchange ratio between the two, where -MOZ tokens can be exchanged 1:1 for esMOZ tokens to accommodate a wider range of application scenarios; while - esMOZ can be exchanged for MOZ tokens, with the exchange rate varying based on the duration of the exchange period.
To prevent a large transfer of esMOZ leading to governance imbalance, and to avoid the project facing significant airdrop sell pressure during TGE, causing prices to slump, this is a challenge that all airdrop projects must face. After all, many investors have previously bought STRK, ZRO, etc., at high prices in the secondary market and have yet to recover.
However, from the perspective of airdrop users, the inability to immediately unlock the esMOZ they "worked hard" to obtain raises concerns about potential price declines and reduced returns. Therefore, users urgently need a means to realize the immediate monetization of esMOZ.
The Lumoz project team has launched the Lumoz OG NFT event with a grand vision, and all NFT acquisition channels are completely free!
(2) OG NFT unlocks esMOZ in advance
On November 12, Lumoz officially announced the launch of the OG NFT event. "There have been voices in the community hoping for an early unlock. We value every community user's voice. Therefore, we have added an NFT section that will support users to directly exchange a certain amount of esMOZ for MOZ."
Specifically, there are three types of OG NFTs, each level of NFT has different esMOZ exchange limits, allowing for immediate conversion of esMOZ to MOZ without any lock-up period:
l Sly (Slytherin), can directly exchange 200 esMOZ for MOZ;
l Puff (Hufflepuff), can directly exchange 1000 esMOZ for MOZ;
l Claw, can directly exchange 5000 esMOZ for MOZ.
More importantly, all OG NFTs are free airdrops; users only need to complete corresponding tasks on the Galxe task platform and Discord to receive NFT airdrops. Additionally, the event also considers the interests of core contributors to the Lumoz ecosystem, including ecosystem partners, developers, KOLs, and node holders, with direct free airdrops.
- The enormous appreciation potential of OG NFTs, with prices yet to be fully discovered
After the launch of the Lumoz OG NFT event, it quickly ignited the crypto circle. One question many are concerned about is: What is the value of Lumoz OG NFTs?
From the current prices, the three levels of NFTs are priced as follows: Sly floor price 0.0027 ETH (about $9.5); Puff floor price 0.015 ETH (about $52.5); Claw floor price 0.047 ETH (about $164.5). This price is actually related to the amount of esMOZ that each NFT can unlock. For example, Sly can unlock 200 esMOZ unconditionally, based on a $300 million valuation, the price of each MOZ is $0.03, making the valuation price of 200 esMOZ $6. The current NFT floor price is only slightly above the valuation price, leaving significant room for growth.
First, the previous calculation was based on a $300 million valuation, but in reality, the valuation of Lumoz after its launch may experience a surge. How to estimate Lumoz's FDV after launch? A common method for estimating FDV at launch is to look at the FDV of similar financing and competitor projects; here, the sample chosen is Celestia ($TIA), which is also a modular blockchain. This project raised about $55 million, had a pre-launch valuation of $1 billion, and surged to $2 billion post-launch, with its current FDV at $8.5 billion, an increase of nearly 8.5 times.
From this perspective, Lumoz's latest round of financing values it at $300 million, with an initial FDV of about $600 million. Considering the current market is in a bull phase, the valuation could be even higher, potentially reaching $1 billion, making the price of each esMOZ about $0.1, thus the floor price of the lowest-level Sly NFT would also reach $20. In the long run, Lumoz's FDV could eventually rise to $2.5 billion or even $3 billion, making the price of a single esMOZ reach $0.25 to $0.3, and thus the floor price of the lowest-level Sly NFT would also reach $50 to $60. Therefore, the current Lumoz OG NFT has at least five times more room for appreciation.
Second, from the perspective of supply and demand, the current price of Lumoz OG NFTs is also at a low point. As mentioned earlier, the core function of OG NFTs is to allow esMOZ to be converted to MOZ immediately without a lock-up period. There is a serious supply-demand imbalance issue; the esMOZ that NFTs can unlock is actually insufficient to meet user demand at TGE.
According to data from the NFT market Alienswap, among the claimed NFTs, the highest-level Claw NFTs account for less than 2%. Based on this, with a total of 1 million NFTs, there may only be 20,000 of the highest-level NFTs, which can unlock 100 million esMOZ (20,000*5000). The other two levels of NFTs combined may distribute 900,000 Sly and 80,000 Puff. In total, all NFTs can unlock 360 million esMOZ.
However, the total amount of airdrop tokens is 1 billion esMOZ, meaning only 36% of the tokens can be unlocked unconditionally and immediately. This will lead to two situations: first, the actual circulating MOZ tokens will decrease, which can further increase the price, rising from the early valuation of $0.03 directly above $0.1, and directly elevating the market price of NFTs. Second, the rise in the secondary market price of MOZ will also encourage more users holding large amounts of esMOZ tokens to choose to buy more NFTs for early unlocking. However, in a market where supply is less than demand, coupled with speculative trading, NFT prices may rise further, especially as the later stages approach, the price increase becomes more pronounced.
- Strategy: Accumulate esMOZ+NFT to catch the new wealth train
As mentioned earlier, the current price of OG NFTs has not been fully discovered and still has significant growth potential. For ordinary users who missed this round, how can they capture more wealth opportunities through Lumoz? Here are a few strategies for reference.
- Zero-cost path, farming. According to Galxe data, in just two weeks since the launch of the Lumoz event, over 52,000 users have participated; there are still a few days left until the end (November 30), and the total allocation of NFTs on Galxe is 100,000, allowing users to continue farming. Additionally, users can participate in activities in the Discord community to earn NFT rewards.
Of course, these methods are not suitable for ordinary large-scale operations, especially since various anti-farming mechanisms require human identity verification, ordinary players can just earn a little "pig feet rice."
-
Light asset investment, buying NFTs in the secondary market. Currently, the market circulation of NFTs is low, and large-scale claims are expected around early December, at which point a batch of "farming" users may dump their zero-cost NFTs, causing the floor price to continue to drop; as long as the NFT floor price is below its reasonable price—Sly's reasonable price is $6, Puff is $30, Claw is $150 (all based on Lumoz's $300 million valuation)—large-scale acquisitions can be made, waiting for subsequent price increases. If funds are sufficient, it is recommended to allocate the three types of NFTs in a ratio of 7.5:2:0.5, as lower-level NFTs are more likely to be sold in the early stages, but higher-level NFTs have greater premium potential later on.
-
Heavy asset investment, long-term optimism, purchasing esMOZ and NFTs. If the previous two methods are considered speculative, this one is a true investment, growing together with the project and capturing excess returns. Currently, due to the lock-up period of esMOZ, some users choose to sell off-market at a discount, with some community discount rates even reaching 50%. Players who are optimistic about the long-term prospects of the Lumoz ecosystem can choose to purchase a certain amount of esMOZ off-market to "bottom out," and then buy a certain amount of NFTs, waiting for the future value of Lumoz to be truly discovered and for prices to take off.
Why are we optimistic about Lumoz? One core reason is that Lumoz is one of the few providers of modular Prover networks in the modular Rollup field and supports "one-click chain launching," with narrative layering and strong explosive potential.
Currently, chain launching has become the first choice for many Web3 entrepreneurs, with several DeFi projects such as dYdX, Magic, and FXS joining the chain launching camp, as the valuation of self-built public chains is far higher than that of single projects. However, for teams without native technical genes, the threshold for chain launching is high. Lumoz provides "shovel-selling" services for projects with such needs.
Lumoz is a modular computing layer and ZK-RaaS platform that addresses the computational cost and centralization issues in the ZKP proof generation and verification process, providing projects with one-click chain launching capabilities—through its no-code ZK-Rollup Launchbase, any user can generate customized zkEVM application chains without coding. At the same time, Lumoz provides underlying computing power for general ZKP calculations through its Decentralized Prover Network. Beyond the Prover Network, Lumoz further opens the verification layer to ordinary users, with its zkVerifier aimed at achieving decentralized verification, effectively reducing L2 gas costs.
Lumoz's positioning combines ZK-RaaS and DePIN, offering low-cost and convenient ZK-Rollup deployment capabilities. OKX Ventures has recognized its advancements in the ZK-RaaS field and Prover technology, and this investment will help Lumoz accelerate the development and technological innovation of its modular computing layer and ZK-RaaS platform," said Dora, the founder of OKX Ventures.
Currently, Lumoz has received backing from several leading capital firms, including IDG Blockchain, OKX Ventures, and HashKey Capital, with cumulative financing exceeding $14 million and a valuation of $300 million.
