As proposed on Terra Agora discussion forums in November, Terra blockchain switched to Columbus-4.1 on January 1, 2021. This “soft fork” upgrade was executed at blockheight 1200000 (approximately Fri Jan 01 2021 09:00:00 GMT+0000 (UTC) ). Why was this upgrade required? The rationale for this intermediary update is to better support Terra smart contracts and Dapps that are scheduled to ship in 2021, including: 1) Inclusion of a new CosmWasm contract caching layer, which enhances contract read and write performance on the Terra blockchain by 100x. 2) CosmWasm logging whitelist feature, increase in CosmWasm message size limit and upgrades in WASM staking querier 3) Significantly improve support for more complicated contracts like bLuna and Anchor. More details here: https://agora.terra.money/t/terra-core-v0-4-1-soft-fork-upgrade-recommendation/262 Following the network upgrade, exchanges may have to suspend LUNA withdrawals and deposits until they switch to Columbus 4.1. We appreciate your patience and apologise for any inconvenience this transition may cause.

Hi everyone, excited to start off the week with a cool partnership announcement! Terra has partnered with Nexo, the leading cryptocurrency lending platform, to offer new decentralized financial products like instant loans and interest programs denominated in the Terra stablecoin. That means Terra holders will soon be able to use Terra as collateral for Nexo’s instant credit lines, or enjoy high interest rates of up to 8% on their Terra holdings. We also plan to top Nexo’s 8% interest rate with additional returns, funded by Terra’s seigniorage model. More details will be shared through the media, and we will share key articles as they come out. In the meantime, check out our podcast interview with Nexo about Terra and the partnership: https://borderlesscrypto.com/daniel-shin-terra/ 안녕하세요! 테라가 암호화폐 담보대출 서비스 기업 넥소(Nexo)와 파트너십을 체결했습니다. 이번 파트너십을 통해 스테이블코인 테라의 활용 범위를 넓히고, 전통 금융 시장과 블록체인 업계가 만날 때 열리는 새로운 가능성과 기회를 보여주려고 합니다. 파트너십을 통해 테라 보유자는 넥소에서 테라를 담보로 대출을 받을 수도, 예치하면 최대 8% 이자 수익을 얻을 수도 있게 됩니다. 여기에 더불어, 테라는 넥소가 제공하는 최대 8% 이율에 시뇨리지로 발생하는 수익을 추가 제공하는 방법도 모색 중입니다. 더 자세한 사항은 곧 공식 보도자료를 통해서 공유드리도록 하겠습니다. 궁금하신 분들은 넥소와 함께 녹화한 팟캐스트(영문) 한 번 들어보시기 바랍니다: https://borderlesscrypto.com/daniel-shin-terra/

Starting off the week with some exciting news! We have secured a significant investment from $1.5 billion US hedge fund Ulysses Capital. They were extremely impressed with how well our payment service is doing in Korea (100k users in 10 days!), and we are excited to have them on board. Korean press has caught wind of it, and we are sharing a quote from Ulysses for our global fans: “Terra has already proven that it can deliver on its vision to build an open financial platform through its successful launch of a payment service in Korea. Just within its first 10 days, the blockchain-powered payment app has already amassed over 100,000 users,” said Joon Lee, Representative of Ulysses Capital. “We believe that Terra will continue to grow its market share not just in Korea, but also across Asia where it has a long list of eCommerce partners eager to help drive mass adoption.” > Press (Korean): https://www.decenter.kr/NewsView/1VKJJUTTTN/GZ02

Dear Terrans, many have been asking to share our thoughts on Facebook’s Libra, so here it is! Facebook published its mission for Libra, and it sounds very similar to the one we set forth to accomplish a year ago — build a stable and widely adopted global currency and an open financial system. In that light, we see Libra as a strong validation for the innovation crypto can bring. And we were delighted to see so many similarities in their token design. But one critical aspect that Libra lacks is what we consider to be Terra’s key competitive advantage relative to fiat: seigniorage. We’ve figured out a growth hack and predict that it will be expensive for Libra to create strong user incentives without seigniorage.

Dear Terrans, today, we announce a breakthrough partnership with Korean mobile payment service CHAI, which is currently available on TMON — one of Terra’s key partners and one of the largest eCommerce platforms in Korea. It’s the perfect match; CHAI provides the infrastructure of a payment gateway to offer secure transactions and convenient settlements with merchants, and by adding Terra’s blockchain technology, we can start rebuilding the payment stack on the blockchain to simplify the legacy payment system. Similar to PayPal, you can download the CHAI app, add your bank account, and start using it on TMON. Service is currently limited to those who have a Korean phone number and bank account, but we hope to share more exciting news for our global fans soon. CHAI will quickly become available to all of Terra’s eCommerce partners, and we are excited to start pushing millions — if not billions — in transaction volume 🙂 > Read our Medium blog post for more details: https://bit.ly/2WG5beD > CHAI on Google PlayStore: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=finance.chai.app > CHAI on Apple App Store: https://itunes.apple.com/kr/app/chai/id1459979272?mt=8 안녕하세요, 테라가 국내 간편결제 앱 차이(CHAI)와 파트너쉽을 맺었다는 소식을 드디어 전합니다! 많은 분이 테라엑스를 기다리고 있었겠지만, 테라는 온라인 결제 서비스 자격요건을 미리 갖춘 국내 파트너와 협업하는 것이 더 빠르게 시장에 진입하는 길이라고 판단해서 소식을 알리게 되었습니다. 현재 차이는 티몬 앱에서 사용 가능하고, 파트너쉽의 일환으로 테라 얼라이언스를 적극 활용해 차이의 사용처를 극대화할 예정입니다. 또한, 다양한 프로모션으로 여러분을 찾아갈 계획이니 많은 응원 부탁드리겠습니다. 추가 협업 포인트들은 내부 논의를 진행하면서 차차 업데이트하도록 하겠습니다. 더불어 동남아 진출에 대한 소식과 새로운 이커머스 협업들에 대한 소식들도 곧 전할 수 있도록 노력하겠습니다. 차이가 궁금하신 분들은 티몬 앱에서 만나보시거나 아래 앱 다운로드 링크를 사용해주시기 바랍니다. 13일 목요일부터 첫 결제 5천원 할인과 함께 매일매일 최대 10% 할인받을 수 있는 프로모션도 진행하니, 한 번 사용해보세요: > 구글 플레이스토어: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=finance.chai.app > 애플 앱스토어: https://itunes.apple.com/kr/app/chai/id1459979272?mt=8
