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.
4/ We are currently working on documenting the use of the LFG BTC reserves during the depegging event. Please be patient with us as our teams are juggling multiple tasks at the same time.
5/ There are multiple proposals on Agora on the best steps to move forward for the community – after having read many of them, I’ve put down my thoughts of what I think the best steps are: agora.terra.money/t/terra-ecosys…
6/ What we should look to preserve now is the community and developers that make Terra’s blockspace valuable – I’m sure our community will form consensus around the best path forward for itself, and find a way to rise again.

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
2/ When I started @terra_money in 2017, I was surprised to find that the crypto"currency" industry was mostly working on building 1) niche apps or 2) better servers (making Ethereum faster) and almost noone working on building better currencies
This is still true today
3/ Terra's place in the wider crypto community can be pretty confusing - purely by accident, Terra is now:
- One of the largest smart contract platforms by TVL, usership and devs
- A decentralized stablecoin protocol sprawling across multiple chains
- A collection of DeFi apps
1/ It’s interesting that cockroaches only come out when the night is darkest.
This thread should help you understand what’s been going on & how the protocol(s) have responded recently:
2/ The Terra economy continued to be put under extreme test, with both Terra and Luna undergoing sharp contractions. Remember that idiot in the tg rooms that used to ask “well, what if everyone starts selling stablecoins and Luna at once?”
That scenario has indeed happened.
3/ First and most important: $UST stability - how did we do?
Recall that Terra’s stability mechanism allows arbs that manifest when price($UST) - $1 < swap_spread
$UST price has indeed been trading at _exactly_ the on chain swap_spread
