What does TerraClassicUSD do?
TerraClassicUSD (CRYPTO:USTC) is a decentralized stablecoin with a 1:1 USD peg, created by Terraform Labs. It rapidly gained popularity, reaching a peak market cap of $18 billion in May 2022. However, a crisis struck that month, causing a peg loss and significant price drop, leading to Terraform Labs halting Terra blockchain trading.
Presently, TerraClassicUSD is undergoing revival under the Terra Classic Core team, launching a new blockchain with a different consensus mechanism and no ties to Terraform Labs. The team's goals are to restore the USTC peg, foster a fresh community, and attract developers and projects. Despite its early stage, the Terra Classic project is community-driven and holds potential in decentralized finance.
