Meet the Guys Still Clinging To the Terra Luna That Do Kwon Abandoned
Pedro, known online as “Vegas,” spends much of his day monitoring Terra Luna Classic while working as a head brewer. He was heavily invested in Terra when it collapsed in 2022, and now helps coordinate developers, community chats, and support issues almost nonstop. He still believes the chain can recover, despite constant infighting and public accusations, which he says are part of decentralized politics. Terra Luna Classic survived Terraform Labs’ abandonment after Do Kwon’s fraud-driven collapse of Terra, with the original chain continuing under community control. Early rebuilding efforts included the Terra Rebels and proposal 3568, which added a 1.2% burn tax to transactions, but internal disputes over funding and control fractured the group. Many developers have since left. Even so, new projects like lending protocol Juris and other community efforts continue. LUNC has seen some modest gains, but remains far below its peak. For many holders, the project is less about price than shared trauma, camaraderie, and the hope of an unlikely comeback.
