๐ Big things are coming for #LUNC!
With Cosmos SDK 0.53 and Market Module 2.0 on the horizon, Terra Classic is entering a new era of development. These upgrades could unlock stronger interoperability, improved infrastructure, and powerful on-chain utility for the ecosystem.
Market Module 2.0 is designed to enable controlled on-chain swaps between $LUNC and stablecoins with strict governance rules โ avoiding the risks of the past while bringing real DeFi utility back to the chain.
The community has been waiting for this moment.
Builders are preparing.
Validators are upgrading.
If adoption follows the techโฆ LUNC could surprise a lot of people.
The foundation is being rebuilt.
The ecosystem is evolving.
And the future of Terra Classic is still being written.
๐ฅ Build.
๐ฅ Burn.
๐ฅ Believe.

The Office of the Terraform Labs Plan Administrator has filed a lawsuit against Jane Street, alleging insider trading, market manipulation, and deceptive trading practices that contributed to the May 2022 collapse of Terraform Labs.
The complaint details how Jane Street allegedly traded on material non-public information, executed a concentrated $85M UST sale minutes after a confidential liquidity withdrawal, and avoided substantial losses while investors suffered billions in damages.
This action seeks to recover value for creditors and hold Jane Street accountable for exploiting the ecosystem during one of the most consequential events in crypto history.

๐จ THE BIGGEST CRYPTO MYSTERY HAS FINALLY BEEN RESOLVED.
Who crashed Luna and UST to 0 and brought down the entire crypto market in 2022?
Jane Street.
The same Jane Street accused of "10AM manipulation" also front-ran the 2022 Terra collapse.
In February 2026, the Terraform Labs bankruptcy administrator filed a lawsuit in Manhattan.
They accused Jane Street of causing the Terra collapse.
For those who don't remember, UST depegged in May 2022.
This caused LUNA to hyperinflate due to its mechanism, and $40B was wiped out within days.
Later, the same collapse had a domino effect, which started a brutal crypto winter.
As per the lawsuit, UST depeg was a smart playbook by Jane.
Hereโs the timeline outlined in court:
โข In May, Terraform quietly pulls 150M UST liquidity from Curve
โข Minutes later, Jane Street allegedly dumps 85M UST
โข Panic spreads
โข Depeg accelerated, and a collapse happened.
The complaint also claims Jane Street had advance knowledge via a private group chat called โBryceโs Secret.โ
A Jane Street trader who was a former Terraform intern and provided insider information.
But that's not all.
The suit alleges Jane Street:
โข Avoided $200M+ in losses
โข Profited during the meltdown
โข Positioned themselves while retail was wiped out
Jane Street has denied everything and called the lawsuit โbaseless.โ
But the timeline indicates that Jane Street maybe behind all this.
And this begs a very important question.
What if the real culprit behind the October 10th crash is also Jane Street?
Wishing you good health and clarity ahead, Strath.
Taking time to pause and reflect is sometimes exactly whatโs needed to see the bigger picture.
Your vision about reducing fragmentation and building in a more coordinated way deeply resonated with me. Iโll continue pushing in that direction โ working to integrate whatโs scattered and make the ecosystem stronger as a whole.
All the best on what comes next.
It's time to say goodbye.
While I had to be absent due to illness in recent weeks, I was able to take a look at #TerraClassic โfrom the outside and with some distance.โ Or rather, at the behavior and interactionโand the lack thereof. None of the following would have made me give up if I had been in full health, but unfortunately, it is what it is. Perhaps there are a few thought-provoking ideas in the right direction, even without me.
I find it both sad and frustrating that a lot of people have learned nothing from the past in four years. If things don't go their way, they resort to attacks, hostility, or discrediting others.
The culture of discussion, if you can even call it that, is often, to put it bluntly, below par, at least in publicly visible areas; and in some cases, conspiracy theories and โfalse prophetsโ receive more support than sensible projects that could advance the chain. There is so often a lack of understanding for constructive and professional dissent that one might think Terra Classic was bathed in testosterone.
When Jay (formerly @HappyCatKripto) returned from his recovery phase, he told me that I might need to take some time off to see things as they really are. I didn't believe him and told him he was being negative and overly critical. Well, he was right, and I was wrong. And it took a forced break to finally see more clearly what is publicly visible.
To be clear, when I look at the entire Cosmos ecosystem, I see that Terra Classic is no worse off than other Cosmos chains. With a few exceptions, Cosmos is in a deep slumber in terms of user and community activity. It's so easy to say that Terra Classic has done everything wrong in recent years and that's why it is where it is. But the opposite is just as true. Terra Classic has done a lot of things right, which is why it is (still) where it is today.
And the future? When I look at all the social media channels, X, public, semi-public, and private (conspiracy!) Telegram groups I'm in... There are ideas, plans, discussions. Constructive, collaborative, not necessarily always innovative. But on the whole, they get lost in the shuffle and may never reach the masses. Because what makes sense isn't necessarily fancy. What's necessary isn't necessarily pleasant. The best solution isn't necessarily the fairest.
When we (yes, WE as chain via governance) decided to allocate liquidity for $LUNC/USDC to the DEXes, it was clear from the outset: it's either all or nothing. Was that the most sensible solution? Hell, no. The most sensible solution would have been to put everything into a DEX pool. But that would not have gone through governance. So the motto was: better a little than nothing.
And this is where a structural problem with the decentralized nature of Terra Classic, or rather the expression of it, becomes apparent. For me, it's not a lack of leadership, a lack of a fixed roadmap, or anything like that. For me, it's more the โI can do that (better)โ mentality that leads to fragmentation of users and capital.
Don't get me wrong. I am a strong advocate of the โfree for allโ idea on this chain. Everyone is free to build what they want. However, I question the wisdom of this, or rather, whether โbuildersโ are giving enough thought in advance to whether their projects make sense. Currently, Terra Classic has 4 (okay, 3.5) DEXes. TerraSwap, Terraport, Garuda DeFi, Astroport.
WESO could also be included, but at least publicly, it's not yet clear where that's headed.
Now let's take a simple example: LUNC/USTC pairs.
1. Astroport: $47,000 liquidity
2. Terraswap: $36,000 liquidity
3. Terraport (v3): $20,000 liquidity
In a single pool, that would be over $100,000 in liquidity, even at current prices. The price impact on swaps would be significantly lower, or in other words: for 2% slippage, you could perhaps make $800 in a trade instead of just $350.
The same applies to USDC. We have approximately $100,000 in liquidity spread across three DEXes because it's fair. But it's not the best for the chain. Because with this distribution, there is theoretically only one type of beneficiary: arbitrageurs. Theoretically. Because even they can only make profits when trading takes place, not when high slippage, etc., discourages people from trading.
And fragmentation affects not only liquidity, but also users. Each of the existing DEXes has different pools, different UX/UI, a different history, different parts of the community that trust (or don't trust) it (thanks a lot, you various scammers, for making it even harder for projects to gain trust). And it doesn't end with the DEXes. Terra Classic now has three aggregators, countless metrics pages (which are of course good for visibility from a marketing perspective), etc.
Terra Classic's strength is its weakness and will remain its weakness as long as builders do not coordinate or agree among themselves, and as long as we prioritize equal treatment over chain success. As harsh as that may sound. I am not in favor of a centralized chain, leadership, or something like a CEO. But it's finally time to put (hurt) egos aside. It's time for builders to get together and work together to bring out the best in their projects.
Generally speaking, in this market situation (not just related to TC), any paid marketing is money down the drain. The same goes for external consultants and the like (why do you think most ice cream parlors are closed in winter?). The only ones who have the means and opportunity to put this chain in a reasonable position are those who build, validate, and invest here. Only then would the chain really benefit when the market finally moves in the โrightโ direction.
For me personally, I have reached the point where health, strength (and, downstream, finances) are not enough to continue doing what I have been doing so far. I will fulfill my commitments, which are the development of MM2.0 and CMM at the L1 level, as well as support for the deployment of SDK 0.53.
terra-classic.io will of course remain in place and functional as before, including GitHub management of the site. The @Galactic_Shift TCG will also go live when it is possible, but the validator will be sunset at March 31st.
All this is not meant as a rant, but rather food for thought, my perspective after my first real break in four years. I would have made a similar statement if I had been able to continue. Not everything is negative; there are some bright spots, people who continue to fight to keep this chain alive.
I think L1 is in good hands with @orbit__labs. And who knows, maybe everyone involved will eventually be mature and reasonable enough to work together in a way that creates more than just a fragile snapshot that will be torn apart by the next ego. Maybe at some point, the sum of all the parts will add up to a great picture instead of just a pile of puzzle pieces.
I would wish that for everyone who has invested years of their life, energy, and commitment.
Good luck and success.
Cheers.

Nobody saw me clock in early
Nobody saw me working late nights
Nobody saw me doing endless research on Solana validators
Nobody saw me drafting 30 posts about the new product and scrapping 29
Nobody saw my hard work
Cuz I don't do any of that
What a time to be aliveโฆ
Some people are scared of the economic situation ,the truth is that nobody has a crystal ball. And when you see someone acting like theyโre winning while youโre notโฆ chances are theyโre just selling a story.
Weโre all in the same boat. You win, I win.
Wars start, wars ending, crazy rumours everywhere , even talk of breakthroughs against cancer, amazing if true. The world is moving fast.
Heyโฆ maybe 2026 is the year.
Stay safe.

Dear #LUNCcommunity,
Iโve been mostly offline due to a medical procedure and recovery. Itโs taking longer than expected, so my activity has been limited. Recovery is progressing, just slower than planned. Thanks for the patience and to those who checked in.
I'll not reply to messages as quick as usual. Sorry for that. See you soon.
Cheers.
@stablefeng@cz_binance Terra Classic is barely on life support. Only #Binance burns introduced by @cz_binance keep it alive.
Once they pull the plug (which can happen any moment) it's over.
The entire $LUNC community has nothing but respect for CZ.
Without Binanceโs support, we wouldnโt still be here today.
Thank you for standing with us.@cz_binance
