Terra Classic (LUNC) is the original token of the Terra blockchain before the May 2022 collapse of the UST stablecoin. After the crash, the original chain was rebranded as Terra Classic while a new Terra chain (LUNA) was launched. LUNC still has an active community of traders and holders who believe in its revival through token burns and on-chain governance. LUNC was one of the most-discussed crypto assets in Africa during and after the 2022 crash. African investors can buy and sell LUNC on Bitget and Bybit.
