Terra

Terra launched in January 2018 to facilitate the mass adoption of cryptocurrencies by creating digitally native assets that are price-stable against the world’s major fiat currencies. It was born with the support of the Terra Alliance, a group of fifteen large e-commerce companies in Asia that have 45 million users and collectively process $25 billion in transactions every year. The hope is that being backed by such a massive payment network, Terra will be able to offer merchants significantly cheaper transaction fees, which could lead to it being the first blockchain payment network to reach the scale it deserves—an infrastructure that would encourage the invention of far more powerful products and use cases.
