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.
3/ Currently, these key precepts underpin most schools of thought:
- The #LUNAtic community is unparalleled in its passion
- The builder talent pool is broader and deeper on Terra than most ecosystems
- Terraβs blockchain is incredibly robust, as attested to by recent events
4/ At the same time however, competing interests from varied stakeholders (e.g.,$LUNA holders, $UST holders, Terra builders, etc.) make it extremely difficult and unlikely to achieve consensus on a cohesive, congruent plan.
5/ It would be devastating for broader crypto adoption and advancement if we remain in entropy amidst opposing views, and as such I propose the following to chart the path forward for our ecosystem.
6/ The Terra chain as it currently exists should be forked into a new chain without algorithmic stablecoins called βTerraβ (token Luna - $LUNA), and the old chain be called βTerra Classicβ (token Luna Classic - $LUNC). Both chains will coexist.
7/ New $LUNA will be airdropped to $LUNC stakers, holders, residual UST holders, and essential app developers.
Also, TFLβs wallet will be removed from the airdrop, making Terra a fully community-owned chain.
8/ We believe this token distribution, in addition to best efforts by LFG to make $UST holders whole, best solves for the varying interests and time preferences for each stakeholder group, and most important, creates the most viable path to revive the Terra ecosystem.
9/ Terra 2.0 is focused on developers - developers will get an immediate emergency allocation of Luna tokens to fund runway, as well as a pool of tokens earmarked to align the interests of the base layer with its builders.
10/ Call to action: we encourage Terra developers to signal support & commit to build on the fork on public channels ASAP.
11/ TFL will be initiating a governance proposal for the network fork in the next few hours - if the proposal passes, then it will coordinate the fork with validators next Friday 05/27.
12/ The Terra community is my family.
I will always be here, no matter how hard it gets.
Let's build it back up again - together.

1/ Iβve spent the last few days on the phone calling Terra community members β builders, community members, employees, friends and family, that have been devastated by UST depegging.
I am heartbroken about the pain my invention has brought on all of you.
2/ I still believe that decentralized economies deserve decentralized money β but it is clear that $UST in its current form will not be that money.
3/ Neither I nor any institutions that I am affiliated with profited in any way from this incident. I sold no luna nor ust during the crisis.
2/ I understand the last 72 hours have been extremely tough on all of you - know that I am resolved to work with every one of you to weather this crisis, and we will build our way out of this.
Together.
3/ First, if you donβt understand how Terraβs peg stabilization mechanism works, here is a good overview:
1/ The LFG Council just voted to deploy 1.5B in capital (0.75B in BTC, 0.75B in UST) to allay market concerns around UST. Some more context on why and how:
2/ First, *LFG is not trying to exit its bitcoin position*.
The goal is to have this capital in the hands of a professional market maker such that:
1) Buy UST if price < peg 2) Buy BTC if price >= peg
thus significantly strengthening the liquidity around UST peg
3/ While buys and sells of UST are not meaningfully directional now, we felt it was valuable to have capital ready to be deployed in the current market.
As markets recover, we plan to have the loan redeemed to us in BTC, increasing the size of our total reserves.
2/ Across web3 teams struggle with intelligent allocation of user incentives to maximize acquisition, engagement and retention- this is because onchain data is (for now) limited in verifying user actions
3/ With expeditions, imagine an AR game where users can perform certain actions in meatspace to win nfts like collecting pokemon
And now imagine this becomes an open platform for any project or nft collection to incentivise targeted user behavior
1/ Five years ago, when I had the idea to create decentralized money for decentralized blockchains, all of crypto was running on centralized stablecoins.
Since then, the algorithmic stablecoin category created by $UST has become industry standard
