'Terra 2.0 is coming', LUNA's official Twitter account posted on Wednesday as the hot crypto project is set to launch the next version of its digital token after a drastic failure a few weeks back which sent the entire crypto universe in a tizzy.
The new token is set to launch on May 27, as per its blog post on Terra Ecosystem Revival Plan 2. It will effectively create a new Terra chain without the algorithmic stablecoin. The old chain will be called Terra Classic (token: $LUNC), and the new chain will be called Terra (token: $LUNA).

New LUNA tokens will be airdropped across LUNA Classic stakers, LUNA Classic holders, residual UST holders, and essential app developers of Terra Classic, it said in a Tweet.
The world's biggest crypto exchange Binance also supported the news as it tweeted, "The Terra community just passed a vote to ‘Rebirth Terra Network’. We are working closely with the Terra team on the recovery plan, aiming to provide impacted users on Binance with the best possible treatment."
A few weeks back Terra's stable coin UST became unpegged to fiat and leading to a 100 percent fall in the value of its native token LUNA. The crash of these two coins has been compared to a mini 2008 financial crisis within the crypto eco-system, with their collapse having a knock-on effect on other digital coins and projects, wiping billions of dollars off the market.
