1/ The markets chose violence this weekend.
Terra's honeymoon phase is over. The platform's stability mechanism was not merely tested... the market tried to destroy it. Terra survived.
And now we're more confident than ever that building on Terra is the right move. Here's why:

1/ Terraβs first step towards building the interface to Web3 is complete.
Weβre thrilled to announce the launch of Station π° β an interchain wallet that simplifies the often complex process of interacting with multiple blockchain networks.
5 reasons we're so excited to be building $MARS:
1. As the first pure credit protocol on the
@terra_money
blockchain, it will be a foundational money lego that will bolster the entire Terra ecosystem... and eventually all of crypto.
Borrowing + lending done right.

We get one question more than any other: what's the difference between
@mars_protocol
and
@anchor_protocol
?
Let's break down what they are and how they work.
π§΅π
T-minus 10 days until the Mars lockdrop is scheduled to begin.
It will go through 2 phases before the full protocol launches on or around March 7.
In the 𧡠below, letβs look at exactly what functionality we expect when Mars goes live π
Imagine if Airbnb only let hosts stay at each othersβ housesβ¦
There would be tons of places to stay, but little demand to stay in them
Thatβs how most credit protocols work todayβ¦ you add tokens to the protocol before you can borrow other tokens

Q: Why deposit in the lockdrop when I could just deposit $UST in
@anchor_protocol
and earn 20% yield?
A: Everyone needs to do their own risk-reward analysis. However, letβs explore some potential advantages to participating in the lockdropβ¦
π§΅π
The Mars UI will shortly be released and rewards will be claimable.
However, the Terra nodes Mars connects to are experiencing very high traffic which will cause elements in the interface to update slowly.
Please be patient or try again later.
