The sky is the limit
Luka is one of the most iconic Latin American cryptocurrencies and is ranked in the TOP 5 by latamcoincap.io. Since the very beginning, LuKa has been characterized for having a strong and supportive community with more than a thousand subscribers, and for having strong relationships with a series of non-governmental entities and private businesses.

Our nodes are present in several countries distributed around the world and they have managed to stay afloat during times of struggle, such as when the Chilean banks decided to cut ties with cryptocurrencies and bank accounts on national exchanges were closed. You can read more about it at https://bloom.bg/2ENdsQ5.
The LuKa team gives constant donations of capital to animal rescue Foundations, therefore, we are also an #Animal-Friendly project.

What is LuKa?

LuKa is a cryptocurrency with Latin American origins, which aims to become a standard for data privacy. By using LuKa every user can perform anonymous transactions through a blockchain, where the information is encrypted and protected. LuKa aims to become the standard chain for privacy processing data by developing open source decentralized apps (Dapps) that will work within an anonymous blockchain.

LuKa is also intended to become a focus of technological culture, where users can perceive the added value while interacting with LuKa in their daily lives, encouraging its use in the public and private sector.

What does "Luka" mean?
"Luka" is a Chilean slang used for referring to "A thousand Chilean pesos", roughly estimated into 1,50 dollars.

Luka's Main features:
- A strong and supportive community of +2,5k users in social media.
- Top #4 Market Capitalization on www.latamcoincap.io
- Open source project, fully transparent and with no ICO.
- Proof-of-work based project, ensuring an egalitarian issuance of rewards.
- Network protected against hash attacks by including the LWMA algorithm.

Problems and solutions

Information privacy on LuKa's network.
Our project aims to develop a decentralized ecosystem based on LuKa's network including the means to store information for businesses, i.e. entertainment enterprises, and individuals in a private and secure way. This will be achieved by the development of open source decentralized apps produced and designed by our team. Video games will be also developed and community-based contests will be held.

Our main initial focus areas are described below:

Veterinary
Currently, each passing minute, a user's private information is being contravened by third-party companies which make a profit by selling their personal data without previous consent. Keeping in mind that this is an issue that not only affects people but also their beloved pets, the LuKa project aims to solve this privacy issue by improving data processing and storage.

LuKa's blockchain offers prominent privacy capabilities. For instance, considering the pets issue previously described,  information can be distributed and saved within the noncentered network in the form of "pets' data". Once in the blockchain, the information will only be visible (in the form of an audit) to certain individuals that just the data's owner will approve. This halts any malicious entity that wishes to appropriate information for their own goals.

The principal goal is to achieve an entirely decentralized data network in which apps working within the ecosystem must fit standards proposed by the blockchain.

Gaming

Globally, the gaming industry has a major influence and importance, gathering more attention every day. LuKa can establish itself as a representative of value within this industry, by storing video games' data and transactions done within games. Initially, we ourselves will develop games within the chain as a proof of concept for future developers.

"LukAdventure"
LukAdventure is the provisional name for the first video game that we will release in our platform, including both a story and multiplayer mode that will also allow betting between users. At the time of release, we will launch a community-based contest which is mentioned in the "Airdrop and game contest" section on this post.

Computer solutions
We plan to develop free and public websites and mobile apps for the different use cases aforementioned, specifically adjusted to the parameters needed for interacting with the LuKa network.
