The Terra Classic community plans to relaunch the UST
The community Terra Classic studies the relaunch of the stablecoin UST, theUSTC (terraUSD Classic), making improvements to address initial design issues.
The proposals include token buybacksof the one-way swapsTHE staking and the introduction of “algorithmic peg divergence fee” to discourage selling below the peg. The objective is to avoid the “death spiral” of stablecoins algorithms, a common problem for these tokens, and to maintain the peg on all USTC trading pairs.
A USTC staking tool is also offered to attract capital to the token, increase its capitalization and maintain its price. Members of the Terra Classic community believe that decentralized stablecoins are essential to creating a truly decentralized economy and are seeking an alternative to centralized stablecoins such asUSDT of Tether or theUSDC of Circle.
However, the future of Terra Classic and the stablecoin USTC remains uncertain, as there is no guarantee that the proposals will lead to a successful relaunch of the project or overcome regulatory hurdles related to algorithmic stablecoins.
