Abstract

The introduction of

NFTs (non-fungible tokens)⁠

has forever altered the way we use

blockchain technology⁠

. From the humble beginnings of

Ethereum⁠

, when the introduction of

dAPPs⁠

transformed the world completely. To support the next wave of tokenized commodities, the ability to own and run something unique was the next step. To this end, the

Hex Gorilla⁠

team, along with the

Talis Protocol⁠

, decided it was

Terra ($Luna)⁠

to develop our visions. The inherent stableness of

$UST⁠

and the development environment of the

Rust programmable language⁠

lend themselves to the adoption of the most innovative and ambitious projects we have seen. With low transaction fees and a robust community of early adopters, this silent sleeper chain has quietly gained a

34.32 billion market cap⁠

within the overall cryptocurrency and blockchain development arena. Ranked currently at

#9⁠

in the most valuable ecosystems in our community, it is hard to believe the

Terra mainnet⁠

was launched on April 24th, 2019. While others, like Ethereum, launched years earlier on July 30, 2015,

Cardano⁠

(

ADA⁠

) on September 27, 2017, and going back even further, you have

Tether⁠

($USDT) in 2015,

Stellar⁠

(

XLM⁠

) in 2014,

Dogecoin⁠

(

DOGE⁠

) in 2013, and

Litecoin⁠

(

LTC⁠

) in 2011. The world was changed forever when

Satoshi Nakamoto⁠

unveiled his whitepaper title, “

Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System⁠

." in 2008. In 14 short years, we went from being able to theoretically send money anonymously to each other to a system that is hard to define and even more difficult to keep up with its rapid development and innovation. With the mitigation and necessary relief of

Ethereum’s growing congestion⁠

and almost

prohibitively high transaction fees⁠

, we find the rise of layer 2 solutions like

Polygon⁠

Arbitrum⁠

Optimism⁠

, and

X-Dai⁠

. With all this activity and various innovative projects, it’s no wonder Terra came along and changed it all.
