About LUNC
Terra Classic (LUNC) is the original token of the Terra blockchain protocol, launched in 2018 with the goal of creating a decentralized and stable financial system. Initially designed to support a stablecoin called TerraUSD (UST), which was pegged to the value of the US dollar, LUNC was intended to provide a fast, secure, and scalable platform for decentralized applications and DeFi protocols. However, in May 2022, the UST stablecoin lost its peg, causing a significant decline in the value of LUNC. As a result, the Terra network was forked, and a new chain called Terra 2.0 was launched, which does not support the UST stablecoin and has a new token called LUNA. Although the Terra Classic network is still operational, it is no longer supported by the Terra team, and the use of LUNC is not recommended due to the associated risks.
