Decentralized Limitless User Xperiences
Social dApps + DeFi + DePIN
dApps: Decentralized Applications
DLUX is an open source project built on the Hive blockchain that started as a way for users to build, post, and monetize virtual reality experiences without needing to know any code themselves. By leveraging networked A-Frame, visitor avatars spawn into social VR rooms with interconnecting portals to other places, all in-browser across mobile, headsets, and desktop computers. With full Hive wallet integration, the ability to purchase and tip became a reality for VR art galleries, AR menu systems, and 2D web dApps.
DeFi: Decentralized Finance
As the project grew, the need for an oracle arose to control how user assets can be packaged, pinned, and distributed. Now much more than a decentralized metaverse, DLUX is a full DeFi (decentralized finance) solution. The DLUX token architecture includes the ability to time lock tokens for vote power or governance collateral, and a DEX (decentralized exchange) enables atomic swaps of assets between users. No central authority exists, instead the novel use of a DAO (decentralized autonomous organization) with governance collateral held in escrow by smart contracts ensures orders placed on the DEX are safe. The users maintain consensus in a deterministic way by reading the Hive chain block-by-block and broadcasting their response.
NFTs: Non Fungible Tokens
Transcend current media limitations with Smart NFTs, tokens that can be distributed to users that are interactive. Build Generative NFT sets with SVG layers (Scaleable Vector Graphics) as attributes. Issue awards, trophies, and achievements. Users can set their SNFTs as their PFP (ProFile Picture) which are verifiable by any front end choosing to recognize them.
HIVE: Social Blockchain
Building on the blazing fast blockchain foundation of Hive, DLUX has been first to market with many exciting L2 (layer two) features already in public beta. Updates in closed alpha that are coming soon include a community controlled multi-signature wallet that will enable bridges to other cryptocurrencies, partial fill orders on the DEX (nonatomic swaps), and community proposals. Accounts holding DLUX Governance will be able to vote on code changes and how various community funds are spent.
Open Source
Move past a scarcity mindset by building on Hive, with no fees, and no code required. The barrier to entry for VR, dApps, and crypto projects is gone, making DLUX the most accessible dApp platform in the crypto space. And it's open source so anyone can improve the software or remix it for their projects.

Emergent Virtues
World IA Day LA 2019
A tentpole experience of this event with hundreds of attendees was a dlux AR camera app participant ice breaker. The goal: scan each other's badges to collect all six emergent virtue 3D models. As users moved around the room meeting eachother and scanning badges, a live leader board updated with their status of trophies found. Real networking gameified through AR and captured on blockchain!

Privacy Policy
We believe in data privacy and transparency
All data you publish or access through DLUX is recorded permanently on the Hive blockchain, which is publicly available and immutable. While DLUX, as a front end, can filter or hide content for display, and assets stored on IPFS may be garbage-collected, the blockchain record remains accessible forever.
DLUX does not store any user data on its servers. Authentication is handled securely via the Hive Keychain extension or other methods provided in the user login menu, ensuring user keys never leave your device. For user convenience, DLUX stores minimal, non-identifiable data in your browser's localStorage, including:
- Chosen account names: Unverified Hive account names you select (e.g., whale_account) to simplify navigation (e.g., home page links) and prefill transaction forms. These are public and do not grant signing authority, which is secured by your wallet software and Hive's RPC.
- Preferences: Display settings and API choices to enhance your experience across DLUX.
- Transaction IDs (txids) and pending transactions: Temporary storage of transaction IDs when you initiate a transaction, used to poll Hive or Layer 2 APIs for confirmation and to refresh page data. Pending transactions so your changes aren't lost while navigating. These are cleared after completion.
This data remains on your device, is not linked to your Hive account for tracking purposes, and is used solely for functionality. DLUX does not track user activity, collect personal data, or use cookies. When polling APIs, DLUX transmits only necessary data (e.g., txids) to public Hive or Layer 2 endpoints, with no additional user identifiers.
dApp / Subdomain Risks: User defined applications on subdomains (e.g., author1.dlux.io), which you may access in user profiles or dApp listings like the Hub, are controlled by third-party authors, not DLUX. These may contain malicious code or collect data. Exercise caution and verify the trustworthiness of dApps before interacting. Visiting these dApps will transmit the account name you have chosen via URL parameters (e.g., ?account=whale_account) if you are "logged on".
We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring compliance with regulations like GDPR by minimizing data processing and keeping control in your hands.

Hive WhitepaperTerms of Service
Last Updated: May 15, 2025
1. Software and License
DLUX is a front-end interface, not a custodian or financial advisor, and users bear all financial risks. DLUX is open-source software licensed under the MIT License. You are free to use, modify, and distribute the code for your own projects, and we encourage contributions via GitHub or Discord. The software is provided "as is" in public beta, without any warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. Report bugs or issues via Discord. Use DLUX at your own risk.
2. Cryptocurrency and DEX Trading Risks
- Unmoderated Content: Data on the Hive blockchain is unmoderated and immutable. You can use factors such as an authors reputation, or the voted value of a post to mitigate your exposure to unwanted or illegal content, but there is no way to ensure such.
- Cryptocurrency Risks: Cryptocurrencies, including Hive and related tokens, are highly volatile and can lose significant value quickly. You risk losing funds if private keys are lost, stolen, or compromised through phishing, scams, or user error. Blockchain transactions are irreversible, meaning lost funds cannot be recovered. Cryptocurrencies may face regulatory or tax implications in your jurisdiction. Technical issues, such as network disruptions or software bugs, could impact your assets, though the Hive blockchain is designed for reliability.
- DEX Trading Risks: Trading on a decentralized exchange (DEX) accessible via DLUX involves unique risks. A DEX operates without a central authority, relying on blockchain protocols or smart contracts. You maintain full control of your funds through your private keys (e.g., via Hive Keychain), but you are solely responsible for their security. Trades are irreversible once confirmed on the blockchain, and errors (e.g., incorrect amounts or addresses) cannot be undone. DEXs may have lower liquidity than centralized exchanges, leading to price slippage or delayed trades. User applications on subdomains (e.g., author1.dlux.io) may host trading interfaces controlled by third-party authors, which could introduce risks like malicious code or data collection. Always verify trade details and subdomain trustworthiness before proceeding.
3. User Responsibilities
- Use DLUX in compliance with applicable local and international laws and regulations.
- Secure your private keys and authentication methods (e.g., Hive Keychain).
- Verify the trustworthiness of dApps / third-party subdomains (e.g., author1.dlux.io) before interacting.
- Not engage in illegal activities, including fraud, money laundering, or distributing malicious code.
- Not attempt to disrupt DLUX or the Hive blockchain (e.g., through hacking or spamming).
4. dApps / Third-Party Subdomains
User applications on subdomains (e.g., author1.dlux.io), accessible via user profiles or dApp listings like the Hub, are controlled by third-party authors, not DLUX. These may contain malicious code, collect data, or access URL parameters (e.g., ?account=whale_account). DLUX is not responsible for the content, security, or actions of third-party subdomains. Use them at your own risk.
5. Data Practices
DLUX's use of localStorage for unverified account names (e.g., whale_account), preferences (e.g., viewpoint=dark), transaction IDs, and pending transactions, as well as URL parameters for data passing, is detailed in our Privacy Policy. By using DLUX, you agree to these practices.
6. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, DLUX and its contributors shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of DLUX, including but not limited to loss of funds, data, or profits. You assume all risks associated with cryptocurrencies, DEX trading, and third-party subdomains.
7. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to DLUX, or other users access to your posted data, at our discretion, with or without notice, if you violate these Terms or engage in activities harmful to DLUX or its users.
8. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of Paraguay, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes shall be resolved through negotiation or, if necessary, in the courts of Paraguay.
9. Contact Us
For questions, bug reports, or concerns about these Terms, contact us at info@dlux.io or via Discord.
10. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms at any time. Changes will be posted on this page, and continued use of DLUX constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

HIVE Blockchain
Users own their account and content, as well as their crypto currency. By powering up some crypto, users gain vote power enabling them to reward content creators and curators via upvotes that earn crypto from the reward pool which can be immediately withdrawn.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Hive?
Hive is a delegated-proof-of-stake social media blockchain. Users have a wallet that holds Hive crypto, and by staking some of their crypto in a process called powering up they get vote power. There is built-in inflation that funds a reward pool, which is paid out to content creators that earn it via upvotes from users with Hive Power.
What are dApps?
Decentralized Applications are pieces of software that can run outside of centralized servers and app stores. They are resiliant in their ability to be distributed peer-to-peer, and their minimization on external dependencies.
What is a DEX?
A Decentralized EXchange is a market to swap assets that has no centralized account holding the assets or user keys, and instead escrows agent collateral to cover the cost of trades.
