If you still hold LUNC, USTC, or have been paying close attention to the Terra chain's movements, the upcoming 7 days' market changes should be watched carefully. On January 16, 2026, Terraform Labs (TFL), as a legal entity, will officially announce its exit from the stage. 🚨
Don't be swayed by the hype of "project shutdown." Many people see "the project team is withdrawing" and start to associate it with a Rug Pull disaster. Here’s a key clarification: TFL's collapse involves the legal entity, not the Terra chain itself. Tokens like LUNC, USTC, and LUNA 2.0 are still operating on the chain, with no impact on trading and transfer functions. This is the bottom line—remember this and don't let panic in the community influence your judgment.
The real focus is on the ecological restructuring after "TFL's complete exit." Terra is shifting from a "founder-led model" to "100% community-driven governance," which is a significant change in the crypto space. It's not just about slogans; this is a double-edged sword. Last year, the Solana ecosystem experienced a similar case—after the founders left, the community took over operations, and the market cap reached over a billion USD. But as you can see, not every project can replicate this success.

Stay alert to the upcoming developments. TFL's exit doesn't mean the project is dead. Don't be led by panic.

Community self-governance sounds great, but in reality, it's often a mess...

Confident in the Terra community takeover, but honestly, the odds of betting correctly are not high... This time, it's really a test of the community's governance ability.

Another story of "the project team has withdrawn," but the chain is still running. This point needs to be clarified; don't listen to the nonsense from those people in the group.
Community governance sounds good, but the question is: is the Terra community reliable?
Is there still someone taking over LUNC...

Community governance? Sounds good, but can it really work once TFL withdraws?
