Terra / LUNA Delegation Guide. Put your LUNA to work and stake with… | by Staked | Medium

Terra is a blockchain protocol that uses fiat-pegged stablecoins to power price-stable global payments systems.

Development on Terra began in January 2018, and its mainnet officially launched in April 2019. As of September 2020, it offers stablecoins pegged to the U.S. dollar, South Korean won, Mongolian tugrik and the International Monetary Fund’s Special Drawing Rights basket of currencies — and it intends to roll out additional options.
