Terra 2.0 Airdrop
Terraform Labs founder Do Kwon’s proposal to revive the Terra Ecosystem has been approved by the community.
“Terra 2.0 is coming,” Terra’s official Twitter account tweeted on Wednesday. “With overwhelming support, the Terra ecosystem has voted to pass Proposal 1623, calling for the genesis of a new blockchain and the preservation of our community.”
Called Terra Ecosystem Revival Plan 2, the plan will see the creation of a new Terra chain without an algorithmic stablecoin. The old Terra blockchain will be called Terra Classic, and its LUNA token will carry the ticker LUNC. The new chain’s token will be named LUNA.
Distribution of the incoming LUNA airdrop for existing LUNC token holders will be as follows:
- Community pool – 30%
- Pre-attack LUNA holders: 35%
- Pre-attack aUST holders – 10%
- Post-attack LUNA holders – 10%
- Post-attack UST holders – 15%.
Terraform Labs’ (TFL) wallet will also be removed from the whitelist for the airdrop, which is intended to make “Terra a fully community-owned chain.”

Seems like a third party is still needed when the shit hits the fan.
