In a significant development for Terra Luna, the bankruptcy court has issued a new order authorizing several crucial actions for Terraform Lab (TFL).

Here’s what you need to know about these changes and their potential impact.

Shuttle Bridge Reopens for Limited Time

The court’s order allows Terraform Lab to reopen the Shuttle Bridge, a platform used for redeeming wrapped assets on Terra Classic. This will allow users to access their assets through a new, more secure interface. 

1/ Dear Terra community,

We would like to inform you about a recent bankruptcy court order in TFL’s chapter 11 case authorizing TFL to do the following: 1) Reopen the Shuttle bridge for the redemption of wrapped assets on Terra Classic; 2) Undelegate & burn the 150M LUNA…

The Shuttle Bridge will remain operational for up to 30 days after TFL’s Chapter 11 plan becomes effective. After this period, the bridge will be permanently shut down, and any remaining assets will be burned. The Chapter 11 plan has not yet been approved and is expected to take effect no earlier than late September 2024.

This timeline coincides with the General Bar Date for filing claims, which is set for August 9, 2024, at 5:00 p.m. ET. This deadline is crucial for creditors with claims against TFL that arose before January 21, 2024, or against TLL that arose before July 1, 2024.

Transfer and Burn of LUNA Tokens

In compliance with a settlement with the SEC, TFL will also begin the process of transferring 125 million LUNA tokens from 49 validators, as recommended by the Terra Delegation Committee.

Additionally, 25 million LUNA tokens designated for liquidity provisioning will also be burned. This move aims to reduce the circulating supply of LUNA and manage the token’s value.

Impact on Terra Classic and LUNA Market

These actions reflect TFL’s efforts to restructure and address financial obligations during the bankruptcy proceedings. They hold significant implications for the Terra Classic community and LUNA’s market dynamics, potentially influencing the token’s value and the broader ecosystem.
