As for design updates, Station embraced the new Blossom and Moon themes, and users now have the option to switch to these in the settings. In terms of competitions, Andromeda initiated its testnet competition, the Andromeda Galaxy Testnet, rewarding 100K ANDR to developers who assist in testing new technology.
In the realm of governance, Confio’s Community Pool spend proposal passed with 77% approval, supporting the development of CosmWasm and other projects beneficial to Terra. Neptune Finance’s proposal for an audit reimbursement from the Community Pool also passed, receiving 87% approval.
One of the biggest news was the announcement of an Alliance between Carbon and LUNA. Shortly after this, Carbon’s governance whitelisted stLUNA and ampLUNA as stakable Alliance assets, enabling additional yield for LUNA Alliance stakers. On a similar note, Prism Protocol disclosed its plan to integrate the Alliance module and whitelist LUNA as an Alliance asset upon its chain launch.
However, summarizing a month of Terra’s events is challenging, and some points may have been missed or require correction. Therefore, community feedback is always appreciated. The dynamism and progress within the Terra community during May have undoubtedly set an exciting tone for the coming months.
