Terra (LUNA) is a public blockchain protocol that emerged from Terra Classic. Terra Classic is home to the algorithmic stablecoin TerraClassicUSD (UST). It's now-renamed LUNC token collateralized UST, which crashed in a bank run in May 2022. That devalued LUNA to virtually zero and caused a launch of a new chain resulting in Terra Classic and Terra.

The new Terra blockchain continues the legacy of Terra Classic without the UST stablecoin. It will keep building with the help of the LUNA community dubbed “LUNAtics” and evolve the world-class UX and UI that brought Terra Classic up to second place in total value locked (TVL) at its peak. Many DApps have agreed to migrate to Terra to continue their functionality.

Terra will continue without its algorithmic stablecoin UST and aims to preserve the Terra ecosystem with hundreds of developers working on different decentralized applications. The LUNA token will be airdropped across Luna Classic stakers, holders, residual UST holders and essential Terra Classic app developers. Terra removed the wallet of Terra Foundation Labs for the airdrop event, making Terra a fully community-owned chain.

The Terra blockchain is secured using a proof-of-stake consensus algorithm based on Tendermint, in which LUNA token holders stake their tokens as collateral to validate transactions, receiving rewards in proportion to the amount of LUNA staked. Terra will incentivize network security by providing staking rewards of 7% annual inflation. This is to align the interest of validators with the long-term success of the Terra ecosystem.

It has a circulating supply of 127,475,474 LUNA coins and the max. supply is not available.
