According to an update from Terraform Labs, the startup behind the Terra (LUNA) protocol, up to $15 million in capital has been injected into its ecosystem with the aim of boosting liquidity for blue-chip assets like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).
Terra (LUNA) and Cold Start Solution
The capital was specifically injected into Astroport and Ura, the Terra community Decentralized Exchange (DEX). Also, the capital deployment was spread across 11 pools on both Astroport and Ura although this is not all the funds Terraform Labs plans to disburse to its protocols.
“Fostering a thriving application economy requires significant capital, and with TFL’s recent liquidity injection, Terra has the kindling to blaze a path forward,” the X post reads.
Markedly, the Terra (LUNA) protocol had a cold start challenge before now but the capital injection solves this problem with ease. It achieves this by providing ample liquidity for users to acquire and trade the named blue-chip assets. Additionally, it will enable developers to build powerful and exciting Decentralized Finance (DeFi) applications on top of them.
To further take advantage of the latest liquidity deployment, Terraform Labs is inking partnership deals with several projects. It has gone as far as making an open call to teams that are interested in leveraging blue chip liquidity to build DeFi on Terra (LUNA).
This capital injection is bound to mark a significant milestone for the Terra ecosystem as it coincides with the period when DEX aggregators are in dire need of the best place to execute trades for their growing user bases. In the coming weeks, it is likely that the Terra ecosystem will see a sizable jump in its transaction volume which will in turn trigger higher yield for LUNA stakers.
As liquidity grows with time, Terra expects to become the home of blue-chip assets on Cosmos.
More Updates on the Broader “Terra” Brand
Apart from the $15 million capital injection, a couple of other new developments are being recorded on the broader Terra brand.
Last week, the Terra Luna Classic (LUNC) community approved a major proposal for the v2.3.0 upgrade. Additionally, the proposal to stop the minting of USTC was passed by the community.
An overview of all the happenings at Terra is a clear indication that the protocol is making efforts to regain its position in the market following the collapse of 2022. It is worth noting that LUNA is the forked chain while community members chose to retain ownership of the LUNC protocol.
The ecosystem development of both chains are independent of each others.
