Terra completes network update, bridging LUNA with Cosmos, Solana, and Polkadot

  • Terra’s upgrade to Columbus 5 is on, expected to bring more scalability and features for projects. 
  • Columbus 5 is Terra’s most significant one yet since it introduces a new “burn” policy. 
  • The wormhole, or the bridge between Terra to Solana projects, goes live with Columbus 5. 

The Terra ecosystem undergoes major changes with the arrival of Columbus 5. The upgrade brings a slew of developments and features to the protocol. 

Columbus 5 is here, Wormhole and Burn policy to be live soon

Terra’s most significant upgrade yet has been set in motion at 3:30 AM GMT on September 30, 2021. The upgrade is bringing three critical changes to Terra. There is a planned upgrade to Stargate, integration of IBC protocol, Ozone, Wormhole and a new burn policy. 

These changes are expected to influence the growth of the ecosystem positively. 

The most-awaited addition is the ‘Burn policy’. Traders and speculators have awaited the implementation of burn in LUNA.

Proponents expect this new policy to have a similar impact on LUNA as it did on the Ethereum ecosystem, pulling tokens out of the circulating supply by burning them. Furthermore, it is expected to have a positive impact on LUNA price by creating scarcity across exchanges.
