Terraform Labs Sets Crucial October 30 Deadline For Terra Classic Users

As a seasoned analyst with years of experience navigating the volatile and ever-evolving world of cryptocurrencies, I find myself both intrigued and cautious about the recent developments at Terraform Labs (TFL). The reopening of the Shuttle Bridge interface for users of Terra Classic platform presents an opportunity, but also carries a sense of urgency.


Terraform Labs (TFL), the main organization responsible for the well-known ecosystem, has issued a substantial warning to users of its Terra Classic platform. This follows the historic crash of their algorithmic stablecoin UST and its associated cryptocurrency LUNA, which occurred last year and resulted in a market contraction that erased approximately $40 billion in value. At present, TFL is involved in Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings and is dealing with the consequences, as well as outlining transition plans such as major system upgrades and asset management strategies.

Terra Classic Users: Mark This Date In Your Calendars

On August 28th, Terraform Labs declared the resumption of operations for the Shuttle Bridge user interface. This important platform simplifies the process of moving wrapped versions of Luna Classic (LUNC) and TerraUSD Classic (USTC) between the Terra blockchain and other significant networks like Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain (BSC), and Harmony, making it easier for users to interact with these chains.

The announcement detailed the operational window for this service, stating: “The new Shuttle Bridge interface to redeem wrapped assets is now open. […] The bridge will remain open from now until 30 days after the effective date of the chapter 11 plan, which is estimated to be on or around 30 October 2024. Opening the bridge gives you the opportunity to redeem your assets and use them as you wish. Please ensure you redeem your assets as soon as possible to avoid any issues.”

This Terra Shuttle bridge on Terra Classic provides a unique chance to retrieve your blockchain assets and swap them for Terra Classic, but it also signifies a temporary period during which users can exchange their wrapped assets. After the bridge is closed, any remaining crypto assets within the contracts will be destroyed. Consequently, this is the last call for users before the bridge undergoes permanent closure. In simpler terms, the announcement suggests that Terra Classic users should take advantage of this opportunity to redeem their Terra Classic assets.

Yesterday, the company revealed through X that they are planning for what seems to be their final update on the blockchain, called Proposal 4818. This is part of the company’s larger plan to step back from active development within the ecosystem as they continue with their legal and financial restructuring.

“When Transport for London (TFL) completes its closure process, we will carry out Proposal 4818 as our last major update. Once TFL finalizes its agreement with the SEC and executes its Chapter 11 plan, it will no longer be capable of facilitating future updates to the chain.”

The announcement signifies a significant shift from development primarily by Terraform Labs towards community-led management and potential advancement of the blockchain framework. Moving forward, we anticipate community-based projects like Phoenix Directive (@phoenix_dir) to assume control over maintenance and operational duties concerning the blockchain as stated by TFL through X.

At press time, LUNC traded at $0.00008526.
