The development group behind the Terra Classic revealed that Rebel Station, its Terra Station alternative, is now in the pre-production phase and operating fully independent of Terraform Labs’ infrastructure.
The group revealed this in a tweet yesterday, noting that it will enter full production on the receipt of multiple hardware components.

Rebel Station is in the Pre-Production Phase
Terra Rebel has been giving updates on the Rebel station for a while and also recently said that the test has started on its critical infrastructure.
It said it had purchased the required equipment for its TFL independent infrastructure in January.
The updates come despite the controversy surrounding the use of about $150k in community pool funds allocated to it for the project.
Recall that a Terra Classic validator LUNC DAO alleged that the funding had gone to the group’s Discord moderators and other non-technical members, citing insider sources. PSX-TX (@PSX_TX), a passive Terra Rebels member, appeared to compliment the claims from LUNC DAO, taking up the Terra Rebel Twitter handle to release a legal assessment indicating that the actions of the group potentially exposed it to fraud charges.
Later on, the group was asked to cease work and refund the $150k in community pool funding. However, it appears to have ignored these calls, regaining control of its Twitter account on Dec. 29 and issuing no response to the accusations.
Notably, the initial Terra Rebels’ request for funding had come under scrutiny from influential members of the community who described it as vague.
However, the recent comment of the Terra Rebel concerning its Terra Station alternative has prompted concerns about using the $150,000 in community funding, with several community members requesting receipts.
