TLDR
This proposal outlines the plan to merge the Luigi project into the Reform Ecosystem. Upon approval, all current Luigi token holders will receive an airdrop of RFRM tokens equivalent to the USD value of their holdings.
Luigi has evolved beyond its original AI Agent narrative, growing into a broader technology platform. Maintaining Luigi as a separate project no longer aligns with its scope or best serves the community. Integrating Luigi into Reform simplifies operations, strengthens the token economy, and creates new opportunities for growth.
A snapshot of Luigi holders was taken 1 hour before this proposal. Within one week after the approval, the Reform claiming portal will open, allowing eligible holders to claim their RFRM tokens. Post-merger, LuigiBot and the AI Agent will continue to operate, but under the Reform umbrella, with revenues and assets strengthening the Reform DAO treasury.
The merger unifies the ecosystem, consolidates resources, and unlocks new value for RFRM holders, supporting the long-term growth and sustainability of the Reform platform.

The Why of the Proposal
“If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself.” — Henry Ford
The merger of Luigi into the Reform Ecosystem is proposed to address a critical mismatch between the original vision of Luigi and its evolved reality. What started as a simple AI Agent project has grown into a broader technology suite, encompassing trading tools and advanced automation that no longer align with its original branding.
Maintaining two separate ecosystems would split resources, dilute team focus, and confuse the value proposition to the community. Reform already has an established, growing platform with clear areas of expertise: Market Making, Liquidity Provision, and Education. Integrating Luigi into Reform allows the project to operate under a unified vision, strengthening both technical execution and community engagement.
By consolidating ecosystems:
- Development efforts can be streamlined under a single team and roadmap.
- Token utility is simplified, creating a clear economic model centered around RFRM.
- The DAO treasury grows immediately through Luigi’s existing assets.
- Additional revenue streams are unlocked via LuigiBot’s user fees, enhancing the sustainability of the Reform ecosystem.
- Marketing and branding become more effective, as all efforts are directed toward one ecosystem and one narrative.
Ultimately, the proposed merger is not only an operational decision but a strategic one, ensuring that the combined ecosystem remains competitive, innovative, and aligned with long-term goals.
The Longer Explanation of the Proposal
Luigi, one of the core contributors behind Reform, initially launched a standalone AI Agent token during a period of high public interest in that narrative. While the project began as a simple experiment, it quickly gained unexpected success, reaching a $4 million market capitalization and drawing significant attention.
Rather than limiting Luigi to its original concept, the team expanded its ambitions. Development began on LuigiBot, a Telegram-based grid trading tool integrating AI features, designed to provide practical trading utilities beyond the original AI Agent vision.
As Luigi’s scope broadened, it became clear that maintaining Luigi as a separate ecosystem created inefficiencies. Managing two distinct brands, teams, and token economies would strain resources, split community attention, and slow down overall growth. Integrating Luigi into Reform presents a better path forward: one ecosystem, one token, and a clear shared mission.
The proposed transition will work as follows:
- A snapshot of Luigi token holders was taken before posting of this proposal.
- Shortly after the approval, the team will publicly announce that Luigi tokens are no longer supported and advise users to avoid further purchases.
- As the team holds no supply or liquidity, trading may continue naturally, but new buyers will not be eligible for the RFRM airdrop.
- Within one week after the approval of the proposal, the Reform claiming portal will open, allowing Luigi holders to claim an equivalent USD value in RFRM tokens.
Following the transition:
- LuigiBot and the AI Agent will continue to operate under the Luigi brand, but officially powered by Reform.
- The Luigi treasury, currently valued around $50,000 and actively managed through grid trading, will be merged into the Reform DAO treasury and managed under IPR3.1 guidelines.
- User fees generated by LuigiBot after costs will be treated as Reform DAO revenue and can support RFRM buybacks, operations, or further development.
This merger brings four major benefits to the Reform ecosystem:
- Utility Expansion: LuigiBot becomes an official Reform product, adding new use cases for RFRM holders, particularly following the beta release.
- Team Consolidation: All development efforts are unified, eliminating fragmentation and enabling faster delivery of new features.
- Treasury Growth: The Reform DAO treasury immediately strengthens through Luigi’s trading assets and can expand further through strategic grid trading operations.
- New Revenue Streams: LuigiBot’s ongoing fee generation will enhance Reform’s financial sustainability, creating a healthier long-term environment for the ecosystem.
By absorbing Luigi into the Reform platform, the community ensures that innovation, treasury growth, and ecosystem expansion continue under one powerful and cohesive structure—centered around the RFRM token.
Budget
No additional budget is required for this proposal. The Reform tokens will be paid from the Reform Launch Incentives multi signature wallet.
