Introducing Week #5’s winners and a special new format for the next 2 weeks!
Check out the details below 👇
2/ After the first 5 weeks of the community content bounty program, we’ve discovered some truly talented content creators part of the #LUNAtics fam. We’ve also received some valuable feedback, which has contributed to internal discussions about modifying the program.
3/ In that light we’d like to introduce a new format for weeks #6 and #7 -- a 2-week, open-ended topic bounty pooling both weeks’ prizes ($3K total) into one bounty.
Winning submissions will be awarded as follows:
1st Place -- $1,800
2nd Place -- $700
3rd Place -- $500
4/ Topic -- Open-ended.
Create a research-oriented or insightful piece of written content on a topic of your choosing related to Terra in a meaningful way.
5/ We’re leaving the topic open-ended to encourage a wide variety of submissions from multiple creative and insightful perspectives.
The bounty program’s success so far has spotlighted many talented community members with diverse styles, insights, and opinions.
6/ With this bounty, we wish to further incentivize community content creators with a more lucrative and “blank canvas” style bounty where writers produce something original that will resonate through the community as a landmark piece of Terra content.
7/ Submissions can range from the more technical to the raw imaginative. As long as your content involves Terra in a meaningful way, the canvas is yours to fill.
Impressing the community is the only directive.
8/ We also wanted to extend the submission deadline to 2 weeks to encourage more thoughtful, detail-oriented, and referenced long-form content per the feedback received.
9/ As a result, please share your submissions in the Google Form link below by no later than Friday, 08/20 at 5 PM PST. Winners will be announced on the following Wednesday, 08/25.
14/ Congratulations to all of week #5’s winners! $UST reward payments will be rendered to the addresses provided in the Google Form.
As for the next bounty…
15/ We encourage the #LUNAtics to galvanize each other in submitting the highest-quality content.
Whether it’s you individually, a shy friend, or someone whose talents you’ve witnessed first-hand but who is reticent to showcase them, the time is now.
16/ The Terra community is laden with hidden talent waiting for the right opportunity to present itself.
This bounty is the first step in a new series of initiatives to locate and catalyze those hidden gems.
17/ Even if you don’t win, it's a chance to showcase your skills, knowledge, and talent.
Several Terra community members have been picked up by the likes of TFL, @Delphi_Digital, and other reputable companies simply by taking the initiative and proving their skillset publicly
18/ In a market rife with opportunity, take your shot. Working full-time in the Terra ecosystem is the opportunity of a lifetime. It’s also fun as shit.
We’ll gladly spotlight those ambitious contributors competing for Terra’s landmark content title.
Let the games begin 😎🌗

With V2 now live and the Guardian set supporting Terra on mainnet, inter-chain DeFi between @ethereum, @solana, @BinanceChain, and Terra can realize its full potential.
2/ TFL will be converting its Shuttle bridge implementations to Wormhole, meaning that the Terra -- ETH and Terra -- BSC Shuttle bridges will be migrated to Wormhole, which will remain available on the Terra Bridge UI just with different back-end functionality.
3/ Solana will be added to the Terra Bridge UI as well, utilizing Wormhole. Stay tuned for further updates.
Eventually, the goal is for Terra Bridge to serve as the unified front-end for inter-chain transfers between Terra and other chains, including both Wormhole and IBC.
1/ Community Bounty Program -- Announcing last week’s winners and the new bounties!
Thanks, everyone for your submissions! The quality is excellent and we encourage the continued diversity in both perspectives and content format (e.g., animated video, written content, etc).
1/ Introducing the latest issue of Terra’s Project Spotlight, a special edition covering our valued partner network and one of the most fascinating application-specific blockchains in the Cosmos ecosystem -- @SecretNetwork!
2/ Secret is built on the Cosmos SDK and Tendermint, and is the only permissionless smart contracts platform to offer “privacy by default.” Secret Contracts allow queries from other application-specific chains in Cosmos to verify data integrity without sacrificing privacy.
3/ Known as “computational privacy,” Secret enables applications on the network to utilize encrypted data on the network without ever exposing the data itself -- even to network nodes. This supersedes the “transactional privacy” of most privacy-oriented public blockchains.
1/ We’re thrilled to introduce Terra’s new $150M Ecosystem Fund, which will propel Terra towards its next adoption phase; augmenting an accessible, cross-chain DeFi supersystem targeting mainstream adoption -- supported by the amazing #LUNAtic community.
2/ The onset of dozens of projects on Terra has induced the need to bolster the ecosystem’s capital & resource base to support its exponential growth effectively, culminating in the Ecosystem Fund to guide the development of Terra towards a brighter future.
3/ The Ecosystem Fund serves as a capital foundation for builders to access the resources of the industry’s leading investors to manifest their vision for apps, protocols, & tooling on Terra. Accepted applicants will unlock a line of communication with the ensemble of investors
1/ Announcing the community content bounty program’s winners and the new bounties for the next week!
First, we’d like to thank everyone for their submissions. The quality across the board was excellent, and we encourage writers who didn’t win to keep sending submissions.
1/ In our fourth issue of Terra’s Project Spotlight, we’re thrilled to introduce @pylon_protocol -- a yield-based saving, payment, and launchpad platform built on Terra.
2/ Pylon is the 5th app incubated by the TFL team, following Chai, Mirror, Anchor, & Nebula. Pylon similarly infuses itself with the theme of “looking outwards,” where adoption, accessibility, & use cases that appeal to the average user are powered by Terra’s DeFi ecosystem
3/ The idea enshrined in Pylon is to swap “payments-in-principal with payments-in-cashflow” using Anchor’s high-yield, low-volatility deposit rate.
Anchor’s ability to unlock new dimensions for user engagement with products and services is powerful.
