⭐️ Terraform Labs to reopen Shuttle Bridge, destroy LUNA tokens
These developments indicate TFL’s proactive efforts to tackle Terra’s challenges and restore trust and stability within the ecosystem.
Terra has announced significant developments following a bankruptcy court order in Terraform Labs’ (TFL) Chapter 11 case. The court has authorized TFL to take crucial steps, including reopening the Shuttle Bridge and destroying a substantial amount of LUNA tokens, marking a pivotal moment in the company’s restructuring efforts.
In a post on X, the blockchain platform noted that as part of the court’s directives, TFL will reopen the Shuttle Bridge, allowing users to redeem sealed assets on Terra Classic.
🔸 Shuttle Bridge reopening
The Shuttle Bridge, an essential infrastructure for transferring assets between Terra and other blockchains, had been previously closed. TFL plans to transfer all assets held in the Shuttle Bridge wallet to a new wallet and introduce a simplified interface to facilitate the redemption process.
According to Terra, users will have a 30-day window to redeem their wrapped assets from the Bridge wallet. After this period, TFL intends to permanently close the Shuttle Bridge, and any remaining assets in the wallet will be destroyed.
🔸 Destruction of LUNA tokens
In a move toward reducing the circulating supply of LUNA LUNA$0.44, the court order has authorized TFL to cancel the distribution and destroy 150 million LUNA tokens obtained from Terra community funding. This destruction is part of a broader strategy to stabilize the value of LUNA and restore confidence among the community and investors.
Additionally, TFL will begin the process of deactivating the 125 million LUNA currently staked by 49 validators recommended by Terra. Once deactivated, these 125 million LUNA tokens, along with 2.5 million LUNA used for liquidity provision, will be destroyed.
