Terra (LUNA), also known as Terra 2.0, is a hard fork of Terra Classic (LUNC). It is a new blockchain and split off from the old Terra Classic blockchain. LUNA, the upgraded version of Terra Classic, is based on a recovery plan by founder Do Kwon and was set up partly to compensate people that were impacted by the Terra Classic crash. The main difference with Terra Classic is that it is not backed by Terraform Labs or Do Kwon, but 100% owned by the community. In addition, LUNA is no longer linked to a stablecoin, but does use the Layer 1 technology of Terra Classic.
MoreTerra 2.0 wants to be an important link in the Cosmos ecosystem. Users can send their assets to Terra 2.0 for clustering, options, refracting and lending/borrowing. Terra makes use of the proof of stake (pos) concept.

Terra (LUNA) is a blockchain protocol that evolved from Terra Classic. Terra Classic (LUNC) was linked to the algorithmic stablecoin UST (now TerraClassicUSD or USTC). Terra Classic crashed in May 2022 when UST lost its value and fell below $1. Founder 'Do Kwon' failed to get UST back to $1, causing the price of LUNA to plummet as well. This resulted in the launch of a new Terra chain, where the old Terra coin was renamed as Terra Classic.
