Terra's new token dubbed LUNA will launch on May 27.
Almost two weeks ago, Terraform CEO Do Kwon proposed a plan to save Terra after the significant crash of Terra (LUNA) and TerraUSD (UST). On May 25, the initiative was given the green light as it received much support from the crypto community.
The announcement arrives as Terraform prepares to relaunch its protocol on Friday, replacing the old Terra Classic (LUNC) chain with the new Terra (LUNA) chain. The proposal will basically build a new Layer-1 Terra blockchain without its algorithmic stablecoin.
