Lux was an in-person POS system that allowed customers to pay with contactless finger scans and merchants to receive payments with no card processing fees. The Lux mobile app allowed customers to link their biometric IDs to their bank accounts and biometric scanners were installed in merchant stores, where customers made contactless payments using their finger. Since the transaction settled immediately through bank wire, traditional card networks were by-passed, and merchants didn’t incur any card processing fees. The Lux merchant app allowed merchants to manage their inventory, launch loyalty programs, and sync transactions with their existing POS. The Lux mobile app for customers allowed customers to see their transactions and redeem points. The company was launched on Harvard’s campus in 2019 and ceased operations due to Covid in 2020.

Valhalla is a light-weight blockchain client written in node. It's a blockchain ecosystem intended to run decentralized applications that require extremely fast transaction settlement, variegated incentive structures for nodes, a solution to the pay-per-transaction problem, and no chain bottlenecks caused by high-profile smart contracts. Written in NodeJS, Valhalla is lightweight and can be compiled to work on any system. It allows application developers to decide on their own business models, freeing them from the constraint of ecosystems that require users to pay for every transaction. It uses a novel consensus algorithm building on round-robin mining, with penalties for late or faulty blocks. Valhalla also allows for relay servers to broadcast payloads, helping smaller nodes avoid DoS attacks. Two applications are planned to launch on Valhalla in Q4 of 2018.
