Terraform Labs celebrates the third and second anniversary of its mainnet launch in April. With the debut of Mirror Protocol, Anchor Protocol, and Terra Station mobile, as well as a number of key partnerships and integrations and new investors, Terra has progressed significantly over the past year. Furthermore, the Terra ecosystem is ecstatic to see the flood of creative builders and motivated & knowledgeable community members.
On the product side, the team has also been working nonstop to incorporate community feedback and improve the user experience on Anchor (more details on specific features are below). Anchor Protocol, which was launched last month, has already secured more than $970 million in stablecoin deposits and bLUNA collateral value.
The team is getting ready to release Mirror V2, with a list of new features accessible here, as well as celebrating $ MIR’s listing on Binance and Huobi. It’s also been a privilege to be featured on Breaking Banks, the top fintech podcast, as well as Bloomberg, among other noteworthy publications.
