Crypto exchanges welcome Terra’s LUNA chain
Terraform Labs’ sister tokens LUNA and UST witnessed the first “crypto bank run '' in history after the algorithmic stablecoin depegged. Co-founder Do Kwon wasted no time in coming up with a revival plan for LUNA, without UST, proposing a new chain.
While the community has criticized the hard fork, Terraform Labs considers it a “genesis”, birth of a new Terra LUNA chain that does not share history with the previous blockchain.
Cryptocurrency exchanges that previously delisted or pulled support for Terra’s LUNA, during the event of the crash have welcomed the new chain. The world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange Binance was among the first few platforms to delist Terraform Lab’s tokens from the futures exchange.
Binance recently revealed that they are working “closely” with Terra on the LUNA 2.0 recovery plan.
The Terra community just passed a vote to ‘Rebirth Terra Network’.

What you need to know about Terra 2.0
After its rebirth, Terra 2.0 will be joined by projects from Terra Classic. A confirmed list of projects is:
- Astroport
- Prism
- RandomEarth
- Spectrum
- Nebula
- Cosmos
The new network will inherit the community of developers and users. Funds will be distributed to pre and post attack LUNA and UST holders, set aside and locked in community pools, at Genesis.
Terra 2.0 will abandon the history of transactions from the old Terra chain, the Classic. All LUNA (set aside for airdrop) will be automatically staked to Terra validators to preserve network security. Users can reap staking rewards or unbond their tokens.
After unlocking the first 30% of their tokens, users will not receive any additional LUNA until six months later, this is a 6-month cliff.
Terra 2.0 launch is accompanied by a big move in Binance Coin
Cryptocurrency analysts at FXStreet have identified a possible big move in Binance Smart Chain’s token BNB. Though Binance Coin is still within the corrective trend channel, analysts have set a bullish target for BNB price recovery.
