Lux Rewards
Lux is how Lombard measures your contribution to the LBTC ecosystem. The name comes from the Latin word for light, the Luminary Program lights a path for those building alongside Lombard.
What Are Lux?
Lux are participation points, not tokens. They represent your level of engagement with the Lombard ecosystem and serve as the basis for BARD airdrop allocations.
What Lux are:
A measure of your activity and commitment
Tracked per wallet by Sentio (blockchain infrastructure platform)
The basis for calculating your share of seasonal BARD airdrops
Accumulated automatically every hour based on your LBTC holdings and DeFi activity
What Lux are not:
Tokens or digital assets
Transferable or tradeable
Currency or property with monetary value
Guaranteed to convert to anything
Lux exist only within Lombard's system. You cannot send them to another wallet, sell them on an exchange, or use them as collateral. Their sole purpose is to track your participation within the Lombard Ecosystem.
How Lux Accumulate
Base Accrual: Hold LBTC
Every hour you hold LBTC, you earn Lux automatically:
0.01 LBTC
1 day
10 Lux
0.1 LBTC
30 days
3,000 Lux
1 LBTC
30 days
30,000 Lux
No staking required, no lockups. Just hold LBTC in your wallet.
Splitting LBTC across multiple wallets doesn't give you an advantage, Lux are tracked per wallet and calculated the same way regardless.
Multipliers: Use DeFi
Deploy your LBTC in whitelisted vaults and DeFi strategies to earn Lux faster. Multipliers apply on top of base accrual.

Badges appear on the Rewards Page. Claim them as soon as requirements are met — unclaimed badges may expire.
Daily Tap-in: Stay Consistent
The tap-in feature rewards consistent engagement over time. Visit the Rewards Page at lombard.finance/app/rewards and tap in once every 24 hours.
A single tap grants nothing on its own. Complete a 7-day streak to earn 200 Lux. Missing any day resets the streak counter to zero.
This mechanism benefits smaller participants who maintain consistent engagement. The time investment is minimal—roughly 30 seconds daily—but the cumulative Lux adds up over a full season.
Special Events: Limited Windows
Flash Events — Time-limited campaigns with boosted Lux rates. Past events offered 100-200% boosts for new minters during Babylon cap raises.
Spark Initiatives — Community contributions like content creation and referral drives.
Reflections — Retroactive rewards for loyal users who've been active through key milestones.
Watch Discord and X for announcements.
How Lux Convert to BARD
At the end of each season, Lombard allocates a fixed amount of BARD to participants. Your share is proportional:
Season 1: 40,000,000 BARD (4% of supply) distributed to participants Season 2: 15,000,000 BARD (1.5% of supply) allocated
The more Lux you accumulate relative to other participants, the larger your BARD allocation. There's no fixed "exchange rate", it depends on total community participation.
Season 1 required minimum 5,000 Lux to qualify (equivalent to holding ~0.01 LBTC for 30 days).
Season 2
Season 2 is live now and runs for six months.
Duration
September 16, 2025 → March 16, 2026
BARD Allocation
15,000,000 (1.5% of supply)
New Features
Rollover, badges, daily Tap-in, Rewards Page
If you participated in Season 1, up to 30% of your Lux can roll over. New to Lombard? You're starting fresh with the same opportunities as everyone else.
Season 1 Rollover
Loyal participants can carry momentum into Season 2. Up to 30% of your Season 1 Lux can roll over through two badges:
Genesis HODLer
Earn 50% of your S1 Lux in S2
15%
Growth Maxi
Earn 100% of your S1 Lux in S2
+15%
Example: You earned 100,000 Lux in Season 1. Earn 50,000 Lux in Season 2 → unlock Genesis HODLer → 15,000 Lux added. Earn another 50,000 → unlock Growth Maxi → another 15,000 Lux added.
