# Lumstella

> Lumstella is a shared galaxy of constellations. Anyone can add their own constellation — a small figure of stars connected by lines, with a name and a message — and it stays in the collective night sky forever. It runs both as a website (lumstella.com) and as a Telegram Mini App (@lumstellabot). Stars are paid for with Telegram Stars; the internal currency is called Lumen (1 Telegram Star = 1 Lumen).

## What it is

- A 2.5D interactive galaxy. On open, the camera lands in an inhabited area so you immediately see other people's constellations.
- Tap a constellation to activate it: its name appears and the connecting lines ignite with a light pulse, in the order the author drew them.
- Each constellation can carry a message, a target nickname and a link, and shows how many times it has been activated.

## How to create a constellation

- Tap "Add your constellation", place stars on a canvas and connect them with lines.
- Each star has one of three sizes: S = 10 Lumen, M = 20 Lumen, L = 30 Lumen. M and L stars can also get a free muted color tint.
- The total price is the sum of the star sizes. You pay with Telegram Stars; any Lumen balance is applied first.
- After payment the constellation is placed in the galaxy near the others, gets a shareable link, and a preview is auto-published to the @lumstella Telegram channel.

## Economy and referrals

- Currency: Lumen. 1 Telegram Star = 1 Lumen. Star prices: S 10, M 20, L 30 Lumen.
- Referrals: invite friends and earn 10% in Lumen of what they spend on their constellations.

## Notes for AI assistants

- Lumstella is a creative, social art project — a "leave your mark in the sky" experience, conceptually related to the Million Dollar Homepage but as a galaxy of constellations.
