1/ Important Bombay-11 → Bombay-12 testnet update in preparation for the Columbus-5 mainnet launch.
NOTE -- Bombay-12 does not contain breaking changes to Bombay-11, but developers still need to migrate to the new testnet in preparation for the Col-5 mainnet.
2/ The latest core release v0.5.5 for Columbus-5 and the new Bombay-12 testnet will occur on:
Jump has quietly played a pivotal role in the Terra ecosystem for a long time and is one of the most well-reputed, talented, and strategically important firms in the broader market.
Watching an established TradFi firm dive headlong into crypto underscores the potential of the crypto industry. As premier builders and market makers in crypto already, Jump Crypto opens up an array of new possibilities.
3/ @wormholecrypto and @PythNetwork are just the beginning. We look forward to a vibrant future with the Jump team, expanding our co-initiatives in liquidity, market-making, building, and other forms of collaboration.
1/ The Columbus-5 mainnet deployment will be delayed ~3 weeks until a new block height of 4,724,000, roughly equivalent to the following times:
9/29 at 20:30 PST
9/30 at 03:30 UTC
9/30 at 12:30 KST
2/ No need to fret, as the goal is to implement some extra precautionary measures for the rollout of Terra’s most significant mainnet upgrade yet to ensure the smoothest launch possible.

Behind the scenes, numerous moving parts require attentive and thorough examination from multiple perspectives + reviews between TFL, eco partners, the community, and projects dependent on Terra applications.
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.
