Despite all the failures, a part of Terra community led by Terra co-founder Do Kwon decided to stay and work on reviving the project. The enthusiasts subsequently launched Terra 2.0 with the promise of helping retrieving the lost funds.


According to data from CoinGecko, Terra’s (LUNA) market capitalization amounts to $152.7 million at the time of writing. The token has significantly tumbled amid the news of Terra money’s latest hack, losing 22% over the past seven days. The token is also down more than 70% over the past year.Terra (LUNA) seven-day price chart. Source: CoinGecko


Some online industry observers have expressed little to no sympathy to those affected by the latest issues on Terra due to its long history of issues.


“If you have a terra.money domain it deserves to be hacked,” one Redditor wrote in a thread discussing Terra money’s latest hack. “If you’re still in the Terra ecosystem, I have little sympathy for you,” another user on Reddit stated.
