Luma Vice Dean Ben: “Luma Is Redefining DeFi by Turning Compute Into a Yield-Bearing Asset”
On November 8, at the PopChain Global Ecosystem Summit & Luma Protocol Launch Ceremony in Hong Kong, Luma Protocol Vice Dean Ben stated that Luma is fundamentally transforming the logic of DeFi by upgrading compute from a cost to a verifiable, priceable, and compounding financial asset.
Ben emphasized that as AI drives exponential demand for compute, Compute is rapidly replacing Liquidity as the new value anchor. Within the PopChain ecosystem, Luma acts as the financial engine layer, enabling every unit of computation to generate real yield and circulate across the on-chain economy.
He added that Luma is building one of the world’s first true compute financialization standards, noting: “In the future, capital will flow toward compute — and the value of compute will be defined by Luma.”
