Survival Season: How the Energy and $LVMON System Works in Lumiterra

Lumiterra has turned its Survival Season into a scenario where the game’s economy, resources, and strategic decisions carry real weight. The integration with Monad and the adoption of $LVMON as the core currency redefine how players progress, produce, and trade.

At the same time, energy management —especially for players starting with limited resources— becomes a key factor to progress without taking unnecessary risks.

Lumiterra and its connection to Monad

A season launched with renewed infrastructure

Lumiterra’s new phase aligns with Monad Mainnet Day 1, the moment when the game fully adopts the Monad network, a layer-1 blockchain designed for fast transactions and efficient execution.
These features ensure that in-game actions —such as crafting, trading, or executing contracts— maintain the fluidity expected in a survival environment.

In this same context, Lumiterra was included in Monad Momentum, a program focused on supporting high-potential projects within the ecosystem. This means technical guidance and increased visibility for the game, strengthening its economic expansion.

An economy designed for multiple user types

Lumiterra structures its economy around three user profiles that interact differently with the ecosystem:

• DeFi users, focused on positions and financial returns.
• GameFi users, engaged in both gameplay and its economy.
• Traditional players, who prioritize the gaming experience but still benefit from the economic structure.

This segmentation ensures that each group finds appropriate incentives without creating imbalances.

The role of $LVMON within Lumiterra

A currency integrated throughout the entire experience

The alliance between Lumiterra and LeverUp makes $LVMON the official currency during the Survival Season.
Its adoption is not superficial: it plays a role in both the core protocol and daily in-game operations.

Within the Lumiterra ecosystem, $LVMON is used for:

• In-app purchases.
• Marketplace transactions.
• Essential economic activities throughout the season.

This directly connects Lumiterra to Monad’s economy, as $LVMON is tied to MON, the native token of the network.

How players interact with $LVMON

The design of $LVMON allows for flexible and transparent use. Its main mechanisms are:

Automatic minting
When a player deposits MON into the game, a smart contract automatically converts the amount into $LVMON.
The conversion always follows a 1:1 ratio.

Free exchange in Monad DEXs
During the season, players can freely swap between MON and $LVMON on Monad DEXs such as Kuru, without additional restrictions.

Official exchange at the end of the season
The $LVMON Exchange will allow redeeming or minting both tokens at a fixed 1:1 rate.
This system will activate once Season 1 ends.

Energy as the core of progression

Why energy determines the pace of the game

In Lumiterra, energy affects nearly every action: gathering, fighting, crafting, farming, and producing.
Once it runs out, the player cannot progress or generate resources or items.

Energy consumption depends on the material’s drop rate:

• 100% drop rate → costs 1 energy.
• 18.5% drop rate → costs proportionally less.

Energy can be recovered through:

• Automatic daily regeneration.
• Energy potions, crafted using Energy Slime and empty bottles.

These rules turn energy into a strategic resource that must be managed carefully.

Starter strategy: Borrowing Energy for low-budget players

How borrowed energy works

The Borrowing Energy system allows players to start without financial investment.
They can request up to 500 borrowed energy points, enough to craft a full set of level-1 tools and gear.

Items created with borrowed energy cannot be traded, but they help players:

• Practice production routes.
• Understand progression pacing.
• Evaluate profitable materials before starting a permanent run.

Strategic advantages for “Shrimp Players”

The system provides two main benefits:

1. Learn without financial risk
Players can make mistakes without losing paid energy.
Once they understand the mechanics, they can start a new account and optimize their progression.

2. Spot market opportunities
Players can produce while checking marketplace prices in real time.
If they identify profit margins, they only need to return the borrowed energy, unlock the crafted items, and sell them instantly.

Conclusion

Lumiterra’s economic strategy combines the adoption of $LVMON, Monad’s infrastructure, and a flexible energy system that adapts to different player profiles. The integration with LeverUp ensures a clear and stable economy, while the Borrowing Energy system allows new players to begin without upfront risk.
