What is Terra (LUNA)?

Terra, a blockchain protocol, uses fiat-pegged stablecoins to improve payment systems. According to its white paper, it seeks price stability and broader adoption of fiat currencies with the censorship-resistant Bitcoin (BTC) to provide reliable and cost-effective settlements.

The Terra project began in January 2018. Its mainnet was officially launched in April 2019.

Terra's native token, LUNA, is used to stabilise stablecoin prices in the protocol. Furthermore, token holders can vote on governance proposals, granting LUNA the status of a governance token.

Terra was founded in January 2018 by crypto enthusiasts Daniel Shin and Do Kwon.

The total supply of LUNA tokens is one billion. If the number of tokens exceeds the supply, the excess tokens are burned to balance the supply. It can be traded on exchanges such as Huobi, Bitfinex, and others.
