In a recent update, crypto enthusiast WSB Trader Rocko spotlighted the newly released whitepaper for the USTC repeg initiative. The proposal aims to stabilize the Terra Classic (LUNC) ecosystem by introducing significant changes to its stablecoin structure.
This initiative seeks to address the failures of the original algorithmic model and reignite the Terra Classic utility. Rocko provided an in-depth analysis through a video, emphasizing the potential benefits and challenges of the repeg plan.
Key Highlights from the Proposal
The whitepaper proposes the creation of a Collateral Market Maker (CMM) as a replacement for the algorithmic market maker. The CMM introduces capital controls to stabilize the price of USTC and manage its collateral effectively. Key features include:
Collateralization Ratio (CR): Tracks the total USTC supply against yield-bearing deflationary collateral and implements mechanisms to lock the CMM during periods of under-collateralization, ensuring long-term stability.
Rebranding USTC: The plan involves swapping existing USTC for a new token, USTY, with USTC being restarted with zero supply. This rebranding strategy aims to address the volatility and lack of trust in the current system while retaining backward compatibility.
Utility and Rewards: The CMM will mint USTC under specific conditions to funding various ecosystem activities, including burning LUNC, rewarding validators, and generating yields for stakers.
Safeguards: The proposal includes a “kill switch” that locks all swaps during severe market stress, ensuring collateral value remains above predefined thresholds.

Rocko’s Insights
Rocko highlighted the importance of this initiative for Terra Classic’s future. He explained that without a functional stablecoin, LUNC’s growth potential is limited. He also emphasized the need for over-collateralization to prevent a repeat of past failures.
The proposed collateral mix includes yield-bearing assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Binance Coin, and stablecoins such as USDT.
While optimistic about the proposal, Rocko raised some concerns. Firstly, the introduction of USTY could confuse users and complicate branding efforts. Secondly, the feasibility of implementing the proposal within the existing Terra Classic framework requires validation from technical experts.
Finally, he stated that collateral growth and sustainability remain a significant challenge, especially without institutional backing.
Community and Ecosystem Impact
The proposal envisions leveraging decentralized oracles, such as Chainlink, for accurate price feeds and strategic burns to enhance token value.
This aligns with Terra Classic’s goal of fostering a community-driven, decentralized ecosystem. However, the effectiveness of these measures depends on broader market conditions, regulatory clarity, and community adoption.
Rocko also stressed the importance of garnering support from key players like Binance, which has been instrumental in burning LUNC. The success of the repeg initiative could unlock new opportunities for staking, yield farming, and validator incentives, revitalizing the ecosystem.
