LUNA lives again - Terra 2.0 rises like "Phoenix" from the ashes

 


Do Kwon , the founder and CEO of Terraform Labs, has announced the official restart of the Terra blockchain, i.e. Terra 2.0, which will rescue or revive the recently collapsed cryptocurrency Terra ( LUNA ) and the related stablecoin TerraUSD (UST). target.


On the one hand, Kwon's recovery plan provides for the existing Terra blockchain to be subjected to a so-called hard fork, i.e. a split from which a new strand can emerge, and on the other hand LUNA should be assigned to existing crypto investors of the project, with the basis for this distribution is intended to serve as a snapshot from before the crash of LUNA and UST. The latter measure is intended to ensure that investors who have suffered damage are compensated for their losses.



The Terra 2.0 mainnet was launched today, May 28th, appropriately under the name Phoenix-1 and is already producing blocks. In addition, node services, wallets and explorers should also go online shortly.


In line with the original proposal that brought up the distribution of LUNA to existing investors , the Terra CEO now confirms that they should have received their new LUNA funds credited by now:


"To see your LUNA balances (also referred to as LUNA2 on some crypto exchanges), all you have to do is log into your Station Wallet and refresh the page [in the browser]."

Users migrating via the Inter‐Blockchain Communication Protocol (IBC) need to set up a corresponding station wallet under the same ledger and then follow the wallet creation instructions.


In this context, Kwon also shared the link to the official portal where Terra users can view their current wealth. As Cointelegraph reported, several crypto exchanges are using so-called airdrops to support the recovery of Terra.


The plan provides that all crypto investors who owned Terra Luna Classic (LUNC), TerraUSD Classic (USTC) and/or Anchor Protocol UST (aUST) before the crash will also receive tokens.


Among the blockchain projects helping to revitalize Terra, market-leading crypto exchange Binance ’s BNB Chain ( BNB ) is at the forefront. However, not entirely altruistically, because they want to provide financial support as well as help crypto projects that want to get away from the old Terra blockchain.


Gwendolyn Regina, BNB Chain's chief investment officer, tells Cointelegraph that her blockchain network is keen to attract successful developers and projects that have previously operated in the Terra ecosystem:


“There are many talented creators and developers in the Terra ecosystem, so our support is specifically aimed at helping these developers and development teams to continue their projects on the BNB Chain. So we are primarily interested in supporting developers and projects so that no future potential is lost.”

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

  Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin...

Phishing attack on popular crypto sites tries to empty wallets

  Several major crypto sites such as Etherscan, CoinGecko, DeFi Pulse, and others report malicious pop-ups scammers use to try to trick users into connecting their MetaMask wallets. The phishing attack came from a domain displaying the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) logo. "We are investigating the root cause of this attack to fix the threat as soon as possible," CoinGecko founder Bobby Ong tweeted. The phishing attack appears to have been triggered by a malicious ad script from Coinzilla, a crypto ad network, according to CoinGecko. Etherscan also advises its users not to confirm any transactions that may appear on the website. The attackers attempted to use the hype around the “bored monkeys” non-fungible tokens (NFT) to gain access to the cryptocurrencies of unsuspecting website visitors. Although the websites affected by the scam attempt have reacted in the last few hours and deactivated the advertising pop-up, it is still recommended not to connect your MetaMask wallet to ne...

Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs stolen through phishing on Instagram

  Bored Ape Yacht Club ( BAYC ) developers announced on Monday that hackers have hijacked the official Instagram page of the popular NFT collection and posted links to a fake airdrop. Crypto enthusiasts who connected their MetaMask wallet to the rogue website subsequently had their Ape NFTs stolen. Apparently, the attack was planned to coincide with the one-year anniversary of the BAYC collection. This increased the "perceived credibility" of the phishing link. About 100 NFTs are said to have been stolen in the phishing attack . According to CoinGecko data , the minimum price for a BAYC NFT is 139 Ether ( ETH ) or $400,726. So if reports are correct, over $40 million worth of NFTs were stolen in the attack. These numbers are only the lowest estimate, however, as they are based on the lowest price.  At the time of writing, it was still unclear how the hackers gained access to BAYC's official Instagram account. Social media users have pointed out the importance of two-fact...
