Luna Classic (Former Terra)

Luna Classic (LUNC) is the native token of the original Terra blockchain, which was launched in 2018. Previously, there was an exchange relationship between LUNC and UST, an algorithmic "stablecoin" intended to have a constant value of $1. After UST depegged from $1 in May 2022, the price of LUNA and UST crashed. As a result, the Terra community voted to create a new blockchain. The original Terra blockchain and LUNA token were rebranded as Terra Classic and Luna Classic. The goal of Terraform Labs, the firm that developed the new and old Terra blockchains, is that the protocols and applications of the Terra Classic network will migrate to the new Terra 2 blockchain. As of June 2022, the future utility of the original Terra blockchain is uncertain.
