Breaking: Do Kwon proposes Terra revival, including token redistribution plan
The co-founder of Terraform Labs Do Kwon has proposed to preserve the Terra ecosystem after the historic de-pegging of its algorithmic stable coin , UST, and the resulting death spiral that brought LUNA to zero.
Kwon said on Friday that the Terra community must reconstitute the chain and preserve the developer ecosystem. This came in as a response to the validator group who were discussing the possibility of bringing a fork to the Terra chain and shall compensate the LUNA and UST holders who were not willing to sell their holding during the last week’s collapse.
The proposition of resetting the network ownership to 1 billion tokens was also made by Kwon. These tokens were proposed to be distributed among UST and LUNA holders as well as to the community pool to fund the development. 40% of the newly distributed tokens shall be given to the LUNA holders who held the asset before the de-pegging event. The other 40% shall go to the UST holders on a pro-rata basis at the time of the new network upgrade. 10% of it shall be given to LUNA holders just before the chain stops operations and the remaining 10% shall belong to the development pool.
