Terra Classic (LUNC)

Luna Classic is the first native token of the Terra blockchain, released in August 2018. LUNC existed before the launch of the new chain — now branded Terra (LUNA) — and works with the original code of the Terra ecosystem. The primary function that the native token performed was to absorb the price deviation of the algorithmic stablecoin — $UST. The price of the UST stablecoin was pegged to the US dollar by minting and burning UST tokens to balance the supply and demand of the coin. In May 2022, UST lost its peg and collapsed. The UST stablecoin algorithm created trillions of LUNA tokens, fell into a hyperinflationary spiral, and reduced the value of the original LUNA token by 99%.

Terra (LUNA) and Terra Classic (LUNC) have the right to exist due to the implementation of a proposal called Terra Ecosystem Revival Plan 2. The essence of the plan is to split the current blockchain through forking,  creating a new chain in the ecosystem, and preserving the previous version. According to the recovery plan, the existing chain and token have been rebranded as Terra Classic. The new LUNA tokens were airdropped to existing holders of LUNA and UST before the depeg and the subsequent crash occurred.

The crypto markets trended sideways. The day’s top movers (at 9 am) were Wanchain and Mirror Protocol, soaring 66.65% since midnight. Over the last 24 hours, the 2100NEWS Total Index (NWST1100), which measures 1100 significant (by market capitalization) crypto assets’ performance, has fallen 0.11%, while Bitcoin has risen by 0.11% and Ether by 0.10%.

Mirror Protocol (MIR)

The mirror is a DeFi protocol powered by smart contracts on the Terra network that enables the creation of synthetic assets called Mirrored Assets (mAssets). mAssets mimic the price behavior of real-world assets and give traders anywhere in the world open access to price exposure without the burdens of owning or transacting real assets. The minting of mAssets is decentralized and is undertaken by users throughout the network by opening a position and depositing collateral. Mirror ensures that there is always sufficient collateral within the protocol to cover mAssets, and also manages markets for mAssets by listing them on Terraswap against UST.

Wanchain (WAN)

Wanchain is a distributed ledger that: achieves the interconnection and interoperability between different blockchain networks, completes records of cross-chain transactions, and maintains cross-chain transaction details. Wanchain supports cross-chain transactions between mainstream public chains, between private chains, and between public and private chains.
