2/ I understand the last 72 hours have been extremely tough on all of you - know that I am resolved to work with every one of you to weather this crisis, and we will build our way out of this.
Together.
3/ First, if you don’t understand how Terra’s peg stabilization mechanism works, here is a good overview:
4/ A review of the current situation: UST is currently trading at 50 cents, a significant deviation from its intended peg at $1.
5/ The price stabilization mechanism is absorbing UST supply (over 10% of total supply), but the cost of absorbing so much stablecoins at the same time has stretched out the on-chain swap spread to 40%, and Luna price has diminished dramatically absorbing the arbs.
6/ Before anything else, the only path forward will be to absorb the stablecoin supply that wants to exit before $UST can start to repeg. There is no way around it.
We propose several remedial measures to aid the peg mechanism to absorb supply:
7/ First, we endorse the community proposal 1164 to Increase basepool from 50M to 100M SDR *) Decrease PoolRecoveryBlock from 36 to 18 This will increase minting capacity from $293M to ~$1200M. station.terra.money/proposal/1164
This should allow the system to absorb the UST more quickly.
8/ More ideas will be discussed in the community forums at agora.terra.money
9/ With the current on-chain spread, peg pressure, and UST burn rate, the supply overhang of UST (i.e., bad debt) should continue to decrease until parity is reached and spreads begin healing.
11/ Naturally, this is at a high cost to UST and LUNA holders, but we will continue to explore various options to bring in more exogenous capital to the ecosystem & reduce supply overhang on UST.
12/ As we begin to rebuild UST, we will adjust its mechanism to be collateralized.
13/ The Terra ecosystem is one of the most vibrant in the crypto industry, with hundreds of passionate teams building category defining applications within. As long as these builders, TFL among them, continue to build - we will come out of this together.
14/ Terra’s focus has always oriented itself around a long-term time horizon, and another setback this May, similar to last year, will not deter the #LUNAtics. Short-term stumbles do not define what you can accomplish.
It’s how you respond that matters.
14/ Terra’s return to form will be a sight to behold.
We’re here to stay. And we’re gonna keep making noise.🌕

1/ This should be obvious, but the claim that I cashed out $2.7B from anything is categorically false
2/ Two contradictory claims seem to exist where:
1. Do’s wallets are doxxed, and he still owns most of his luna through the airdrop 2. Do dumped all his tokens to make billions
A lane should ideally be picked
3/ To reiterate, for the last two years the only thing ive earned is a nominal cash salary from TFL, and deferred taking most of my founder’s tokens because a) didn’t need it and b) didn’t want to cause unnecessary finger pointing of “he has too much”
1/ While most of our efforts had been spent on Terra 2.0 and making sure ecosystem developers can find a home after the depeg incident, we will soon be more proactive in communicating with the press & getting the right information out there.
2/ There's a lot of misinformation and falsehood out there, and we promise to do our part in making sure as much of it is correct as possible.
A few tips to help us engage:
3/ First, TFL's official media inquiry channel is comms at terra.money - many people have been messaging us in various languages, but if it is not in English we just wouldn't have the linguistics capability to respond.
1/ Terra governance prop #1623 to rename the existing network Terra Classic, LUNA Classic ($LUNC), and rebirth a new Terra blockchain & LUNA ($LUNA) is now live.
2/ It has been inspiring to partake in the dynamic discourse regarding the best next steps for Terra. Taking feedback from the community and thoughtful proposals, I would like to suggest the following for the path forward.
3/ Currently, these key precepts underpin most schools of thought:
- The #LUNAtic community is unparalleled in its passion
- The builder talent pool is broader and deeper on Terra than most ecosystems
- Terra’s blockchain is incredibly robust, as attested to by recent events
1/ I’ve spent the last few days on the phone calling Terra community members – builders, community members, employees, friends and family, that have been devastated by UST depegging.
I am heartbroken about the pain my invention has brought on all of you.
2/ I still believe that decentralized economies deserve decentralized money – but it is clear that $UST in its current form will not be that money.
3/ Neither I nor any institutions that I am affiliated with profited in any way from this incident. I sold no luna nor ust during the crisis.
