Terraform Labs co-founder Do Kwon has proposed an ‘ecosystem revival plan’ following the collapse of the algorithmic stablecoin UST and its related asset, LUNA.
<h2><strong>UST Is Not Coming Back, Founder Says</strong></h2>
In a forum post published <a href="https://agora.terra.money/t/terra-ecosystem-revival-plan/8701" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Friday</a>, Do Kwon proposed the idea for a restart of the Terra blockchain ecosystem.
<blockquote><em>"The Terra community must reconstitute the chain to preserve the community and the developer ecosystem," Kwon wrote in the post.</em></blockquote>
Kwon argued that Terra (LUNA) has been diluted to such a degree that its joint ecosystem with TerraUSD (UST) can no longer be rebuilt, even if UST’s peg somehow recovers.
<blockquote><em>"While a decentralized economy does need decentralized money, UST has lost too much trust with its users to play the role."</em></blockquote>
UST was the former third-largest stablecoin pegged to the US dollar, while LUNA was a governance token that provided support for UST’s peg. Both the coins have collapsed by 84% and 99% this week, respectively.
<h2><strong>Compensating the Terra Community</strong></h2>
Kwon, therefore, suggests forking the Terra chain, and resetting network ownership to just 1 billion tokens, down from over 6 trillion LUNA tokens currently in circulation.

Specifically, 40% of the newly distributed tokens would go toward LUNA holders who held the asset before the depegging event. While 40% would go towards UST holders on a pro-rata basis at the time of the new network upgrade.

Meanwhile, 10% would be allocated to LUNA holders just before the chain halted operations and the remaining 10% would go toward the development pool.
