Hey, today we’ll take a look at some new projects that will further expand the reach of the TERRA ecosystem by adding new features and investment opportunities to early adopters, thus facilitating the growth of the entire blockchain.
Consider this a simple primer on the most interesting project coming to TERRA, and see if you wanna be an early adopter.
STARTERRA - LAUNCHPAD
The purpose of STARTERRA is to have a gamified launchpad for IDOs, featuring NFTs and staking, with play-to-earn mechanics too. The launch was less than brilliant, but no matter what, keep an eye on them.
Status: Live, airdrop for Luna stakers (09/09/21)

ANGEL PROTOCOL - PERPETUAL CHARITY ENDOWMENTS
The main idea behind Angel Protocol is to program revenue into charity projects, thus creating a donation system that works through Anchor earn compound interest, immediately giving a % to the charitable organizations and a yearly 15% from ANC 20% yield. It’s an interesting take on automatizing and optimizing donations, and I genuinely believe it can do good and make blockchains have a better rep.
Status: In development, Airdrop to Anchor and Luna stakers; stakers using the Angel Protocol validator will get a second airdrop too.

SPAR FINANCE - DECENTRALIZED ASSET MANAGEMENT
Pretty simply, Spar Finance is a tool to manage investment pools, akin to a decentralized edge fund. The concept is already around with stuff like Dhedge, and it will be a first of the TERRA environment
Status: In development, airdrop to LUNA and MIR (governance) stakers. Due to COL-V and Audit mainnet will go live around October, airdrop will happen afterwards
Whitepaper/Litepaper: TBA; being released as soon as mainnet is live

APOLLO DAO - YIELD OPTIMIZER
Yield farming with reactive reward rates to avoid overly rewarded early investors followed by them dumping tokens afterwards. It will also feature boosted rewards for some pools on a weekly basis and nft boosters.
Status: In development
Whitepaper/Litepaper: TBA, further info at https://apollodao.medium.com/

TALIS PROTOCOL - DAO MARKETPLACE
Another pretty interesting project, aiming at creating a more artist-friendly NFT marketplace, with less focus on making products pure speculative assets, and more pure work of art. It’s remarkable, and while a ton of people would rather prefer making without any other inherent value, having the chance to print-on-demand a piece you just bought is pretty cool, alongside the idea of a more direct approach between the client and the artist. And NFTing real products is an interesting take on the relation between the uniqueness of art and its reproducibility in the modern age. Oh and they have no fees if you delegate LUNA through them. Check them out.
Status: In development (Q4/2021-Q1 2022), airdrop for TERRA stakers with bonuses if delegating to Talis validator

ORION.MONEY - STABLECOIN BANK
This one will try to give a solid yield on your stablecoins deposits while also allowing you to spend them through a native app. It aims at bringing ethereum-based stablecoins to Anchor thanks to a cross-chain approach, helped by the new COL-V cross-chain capabilities and WORMHOLE.
Status: In development

MARS.PROTOCOL - BORROWING AND LENDING PROTOCOL
Aiming at being a fully decentralized banking protocol, with borrowers and lenders, it will feature uncollateralized borrowing and dynamic interests to incentivize otherwise under-rewarding assets.
Status: TBA; main site being developed

Yet, there are a ton of projects around, so it might be sensible to start investing in the terra ecosystem ASAP.
Anyway, have fun and get some nice gainz! See you soon!
