Chris Amani, CEO of Terraform Labs, the developer of Terra blockchain, asked the community to take the reins as the firm plans to dissolve its operations
The firm, according to Amani, plans to sell its projects in the Terra ecosystem including Pulsar Finance, Station Wallet and Enterprise DAO.
This follows Terraform's massive $4.47 billion settlement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission related to the UST algorithmic stablecoin, which dramatically collapsed in 2022.

Curve founder Michael Egorov is currently borrowing $95.7M in stablecoins (mostly crvUSD) against $141M in CRV, across 5 accounts on 5 protocols.
Based on current rates, Egorov is paying $60M annualized in order to keep his positions open on Llamalend.
This is because there is almost no remaining crvUSD available for borrowing against CRV on Llamalend. 3 of Egorov’s accounts already make up over 90% of the borrowed crvUSD on the protocol.
The CRV price has decreased by 26% in 24 hours.
