LUKSO LSP3 Profile Metadata Standard

LSP·3 · Metadata

The standard keys for what a Universal Profile is — name, image, links, tags.

LSP·3 interface solidity
// LSP3 is a set of well-known ERC-725Y data keys.
// Read with the standard ERC-725Y getter:
function getData(bytes32 dataKey) external view returns (bytes memory);

// Canonical keys (named):
//   LSP3Profile          → JSON pointer or VerifiableURI
//   LSP3Profile-Avatar   → image reference
//   LSP12IssuedAssets[]  → assets this profile issued
//   LSP5ReceivedAssets[] → assets this profile received

LSP3 is small. It says: if every Universal Profile uses these data keys for the same things, every app can read every profile without per-app conventions. The profile itself is a contract (LSP0), the information about the profile lives in ERC-725Y data keys, and LSP3 names the canonical ones.

Pair with LSP5 (received assets) and LSP12 (issued assets) for the full identity-side picture of what a profile holds and what it created.

What it solves.

What it does not solve.

Anti-overselling is a feature.

  • LSP3 isn't an identity protocol. It's a key schema.
  • It doesn't validate the avatar URL or the link contents — that's the app's job.
