Terra will ‘fork’ into new blockchain with a new luna token

Earlier this month two linked cryptocurrencies called terraUSD and luna imploded. The prices of both tokens went down to a few cents or less in under a week, and people who bought the digital currencies lost almost all of their investment.

This week, a community of luna and terra holders voted to make a new blockchain. The vote passed, and the @terra_money Twitter account said Friday that Block 1 of the new blockchain had been produced. The new blockchain is called terra, while the original one will be called terra classic.

A new luna cryptocurrency will exist on the new blockchain. The original luna token, renamed luna classic, will remain on the old terra classic blockchain along with the terraUSD algorithmic stablecoin.

Both luna classic and terraUSD are still trading for almost nothing, with luna classic worth well under a penny. Terra is holding an “airdrop” giveaway where luna and terraUSD holders could receive the new luna cryptocurrency to incentivize the new blockchain.
