Terraform Labs (TFL), the company behind the Terra blockchain, has announced that Proposal 4818 will be the final chain upgrade implemented before winding down operations. This decision comes in the wake of TFL’s settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and its ongoing Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings.
As part of the settlement, TFL is required to close its business within 30 days of judgment. The implementation of Proposal 4818 will mark a significant turning point for the Terra blockchain, as TFL will no longer be able to support future upgrades.
Upcoming Bankruptcy Hearing and Asset Sales
Terraform Labs is scheduled for a crucial Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization hearing on September 19. The outcome of this hearing will determine whether the company can restructure its operations or face liquidation.
TFL has been actively selling off key assets to meet its financial obligations. These actions are a direct result of the Terra ecosystem’s collapse in 2022, which led to the substantial $4.5 billion settlement with the SEC.
Shuttle Bridge Reopens Temporarily
In a recent development, the court has granted TFL permission to reopen the Shuttle Bridge, a platform used for redeeming wrapped assets on Terra Classic. This temporary reopening will allow users to access their assets through a new, more secure interface. However, the Shuttle Bridge is expected to be permanently closed once TFL’s Chapter 11 plan becomes effective.
With TFL’s operational support coming to an end, the responsibility for maintaining and managing the Terra blockchain will shift to community-driven initiatives like the Phoenix Directive. This transition represents a move towards decentralized governance, empowering the community to shape the future of the Terra ecosystem.

Implications for Terra Classic and LUNA
These actions have significant implications for the Terra Classic community and the LUNA token. The transition to community-driven governance could potentially influence the value of LUNA and the broader market dynamics within the Terra ecosystem.
As Terraform Labs continues to navigate the complexities of bankruptcy proceedings and the transition to community-driven governance, the future of the Terra blockchain remains uncertain. The upcoming bankruptcy hearing and the implementation of Proposal 4818 will undoubtedly play a crucial role in shaping the fate of this once-prominent cryptocurrency ecosystem.
