Project USTX: Transforming USTC into a Revolutionary Gas Token for Cross-Chain Interoperability
In a bid to revitalize the synthetic USD component of the Terra Classic blockchain, USTC, a groundbreaking proposal known as Project USTX has emerged. This initiative aims not only to re-peg USTC to the dollar but also to redefine its purpose, transforming it into a Gas Token that facilitates cross-chain interoperability and transaction processing.

USTC has long lingered without achieving a true re-peg of its assets to the dollar. While several ideas for its relaunch have been proposed, none have been fully fleshed out until now. Project USTX introduces a comprehensive plan to not only re-establish USTC’s peg but also to create an entirely new ecosystem built upon this synthetic dollar.

The central idea of Project USTX is to utilize USTC as a Gas Token, serving as the first true contracts functionality bridge between Terra Classic and chains outside of the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) framework. This groundbreaking functionality allows Solidity-based contracts to seamlessly communicate with any WebAssembly (WASM) launched contract on USTC supporting chains.
The proposal outlines several compelling use cases for this innovative approach
- Access to Existing Services: USTX will enable Terra Classic to access well-established services on the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), such as CurveDAO, ChainLink, and Ethereum Classic.
- Compatibility for EVM Projects: Existing EVM projects and software can become compatible with IBC without the need for a fork, migration, or rewrite.
III. Enhanced Transactional Power: By using USTC as the gas, the transactional power of USTC increases, leading to heightened demand and greater stability in its price.

- Attracting New Developers: Interoperability makes Terra Classic more attractive for developers looking to transition into non-EVM space, opening the gateway to new development on IBC development chains.
- Support for Advanced Mechanisms: Project USTX allows Terra Classic to support new-world-proof mechanisms such as Optimism, ZK-SNARKS, and indirect sharding without requiring an entire chain fork.
The proposed intermediary software acts as an optimistic canary, facilitating seamless data transfer between chains and unlocking a myriad of possibilities for developers, enterprises, and the broader blockchain community. As Project USTX unfolds, it has the potential to revolutionize cross-chain interoperability, positioning Terra Classic as a frontrunner in the evolving landscape of blockchain technology.
