🌖 Terra Luna Classic’s Proposal for a Core Team

The Terra Luna Classic (LUNC) community is currently engaged in voting on a crucial proposal aimed at establishing a core team responsible for overseeing the chain’s developments and other key decisions.

This proposal comes in the wake of the disbandment of the core developer group Joint L1 Task Force (JL1TF) in March. The proposed core team would comprise key individuals, including developers and contributors, appointed by the community.

Proposal Details
The text proposal (no. 12093), titled “Establish a Terra Classic Team,” is currently up for voting on the Station wallet for the Terra Luna Classic community. If it gets approved, this proposal would be paving the way to establish a permanent team to be remunerated monthly from the community pool. It is also expected that the team is would work directly for the Terra Classic blockchain. This distinguishes it from Terraform Labs, serving Terra (LUNA). Details about the roles, salaries, responsibilities, and the number of developers will be determined in a proposal that is to follow, depending upon the governance approval of this initial proposal.

🌖 Ethena Labs Creates Controversy with High Return Strategy and Compared to Terra

Ethena’s token has sparked mixed reactions within the crypto community since its public launch in February. Stakeholders who stake USD for at least seven days are currently enjoying an annual return of approximately 37%.

This high return enabled the total value locked (TVL) on the protocol to rise from $178 million to $2.3 billion in just 60 days.

However, such high returns often come with inherent risks, reminiscent of Terra’s UST, which paid out around 20% to stakers before its collapse.

Unlike asset-backed stablecoins such as Tether (USDT) and USDC, which derive their value from reserves such as the dollar or US government debt, USDe operates as a synthetic stablecoin.

The USDe’s $1 value is maintained through a financial strategy known as cash and carry trading, which involves simultaneously purchasing an asset and shorting its derivative to capture the funding rate.

Although this trade is considered relatively safe in traditional finance, it is not without risks, especially regarding market volatility and currency issues.

Folkvang CEO Mike van Rossum expressed cautious optimism about the strategy, while highlighting potential pitfalls including issues with currency management and trading in volatile markets.

Ethena users mint USDe tokens by depositing stablecoins such as USDT, dai (DAI) and USDC, and can then stake them to earn returns.

To achieve these returns, the protocol uses various strategies revolving around cash and carry trading and takes advantage of positive funding rates on perpetual coins such as Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).

Despite concerns, crypto whales have shown their confidence, with recent data showing a significant amount of money being deposited into Ethena’s governance token (ENA), which remains locked for seven days or more.

But analysts like Arca’s Jeff Dorman warn about the risks of relying on market forces to generate returns.
