Community Backing Fuels Progress
The Terra Classic community has demonstrated its commitment through several actions:

Potential Price Impact
- While LUNC initially rose upon the proposal announcement, recent market fluctuations, including Bitcoin’s price drop, have impacted both LUNC and USTC.
- However, the ongoing development focus and community support suggest the potential for continued price rallies in the future.
Upgrade Implementation and Timeline
- If approved by validators and the community, the Terra Classic chain will halt on March 25, 2024, at block height 17309500, to facilitate the upgrade implementation.
The Terra Classic community’s proactive approach to network upgrades and token value restoration is a positive indicator for the future. The proposed upgrade, if approved, has the potential to significantly enhance the network’s functionality, security, and appeal to developers.
