Rebirth of Terra

Following the crash of LUNC (formerly LUNA) and the algorithmic stablecoin UST, Terraforms Labs CEO Do Kwon addressed the community with a proposal dubbed “Rebirth of Terra”. The plan suggested ditching the current blockchain and starting a new chain with the same name.

2/ It has been inspiring to partake in the dynamic discourse regarding the best next steps for Terra. Taking feedback from the community and thoughtful proposals, I would like to suggest the following for the path forward.https://t.co/E13VI8bkLh

A thread on our reasoning:

As EWN reported, the revival plan gained steam as 65% of the voters favored the idea and proposal 1623 ultimately passed the governance vote. A crucial part of the plan also proposed an airdrop of new coins for previous holders of Terra’s tokens. 

According to the details of Terra’s supposed rebirth, 35% of the supply has been earmarked for investors who held LUNA before the price crash started. Allocations were also made for developers in the ecosystem and UST holders as well.

6/ Token distribution details can be found in the governance proposal, but to summarize:
● Community pool: 30%
● Pre-attack $LUNA holders: 35%
● Pre-attack aUST holders: 10%
● Post-attack $LUNA holders: 10%
● Post-attack $UST holders: 15%

Developers Migrate To LUNA 2.0 New Chain

Projects building on Terra Classic have also announced plans to migrate their protocols to the new Terra chain. Key names like Phoenix Finance, the flagship decentralized exchange on Terra, said it would continue development on Terra 2.0.

Notably, projects like Phoenix are set to receive an allocation of the new LUNA token to support their decision. 

1/ From the ashes, Phoenix Finance will rise.

However, not all previous protocols plan to build on the new chain. Lido, a well-known DeFi staking and lending platform said it would not move to Terra v2 following a community vote against migrating.

Lido on Terra v2 Update:

Following a discussion on the launch of Lido on Terra v2, the Lido DAO has voted to NOT support the Terra reboot.
