Today we’re super excited to announce support for Terra, a blockchain ecosystem to create stablecoin-based decentralized applications (dApps).

With the growth of cryptocurrencies in the space, stablecoins have become one of the most widely used types of tokens; they bridge the gap for conventional finance because their value is pegged with a fiat currency like USD, EUR, GBP. Stablecoins also have versatile usages - from a store of value like gold to the transfer of huge funds between individuals or organizations.

So here’s the issue: The current state of stablecoins, which are primarily US-based, is highly centralized and is thus flawed as the power exists within only a few hands and lacks the key benefits of decentralization.

Enter Terra: Terra empowers dApps by providing a world-class decentralized financial infrastructure for stablecoins fully pegged by their fiat counterparts. Terra is on a mission to power the innovation of money with its decentralized stablecoin cryptocurrencies, which can store value and transfer value.

Cryptocurrencies are tremendous, but volatility is one of the significant factors affecting their adoption. Many good projects have tokens but are left behind or fail due to poor tokenomics or high volatility. Terra eliminates this by providing intuitive and transparent ways to make their token policies with Terra stablecoins and instead focus on other significant areas of their application.

Terra protocol creates these stablecoins by using a combination of open market arbitrage incentives and decentralized oracle voting.

The Terra protocol runs on Tendermint, a proof-of-stake algorithm, and is powered by Cosmos SDK. Terra is very scalable and robust; it is designed in such a way that Terra stablecoins are meant to maintain the price in any market size and conditions.
