Terra Classic (LUNC) Set To Undergo Core Upgrade, Price Soars Over 15%

Terra Classic core developer Joint L1 Task Force (L1TF) submitted Proposal 11511 for governance voting to upgrade the Terra Classic network to v2.0.1. This is a major upgrade on the LUNC blockchain, along with Cosmwasm v1.1.0 upgrade (parity) on May 31 to allow projects and builders across Cosmos and Terra (LUNA) to build on the Terra Classic chain.

Terra Classic Blockchain To Undergo Major Upgrade

After the Joint L1 Task Force developer team successfully completed the rebel-2 testnet to v2.0.0 last week, the Cosmos SDK v0.45.13 Columbus-5 and Tendermint v0.34.24 mainnet upgrade is scheduled at block height 12,812,900, estimated on May 17 at 14:03 UTC.

The upgrade includes features such as a minimum initial deposit for governance proposals that will prevent spam, upgraded Cosmos SDK and Tendermint, and enhanced code maintainability. All nodes and validators are required to install and run the current upgrade version v2.0.1 after the proposal passes.

Currently, Proposal 11511 “Proposal for v2.0.1 Upgrade” has received 99.5% votes in favor of the proposal, while only some voted “No” and “No with veto”. Moreover, major validators such as Allnodes, StakeBin, JESUSisLORD, Lunanauts, and SolidVote support the proposal. The proposal will end on May 15 and developers are already preparing for the upgrade as the community always passes such proposals.

This major upgrade is followed by The Cosmwasm 1.1.0 Parity upgrade on May 31. It will bring back utility to the Terra Classic network by allowing projects and builders across Cosmos and Terra Luna 2.0 to once again build on the Terra Classic chain.
