The Story before Terra 2.0
-
Terra Nework was in a really good moment, with both the LUNA increasing their price (Governance Token) and the UST(Terra Stablecoin), but their fall was preconceived.
In May 7 UST suffers large amount of swaps dropping their price.
-
Which forces the Luna Foundation Guard (The pilar of UST peg) to loan BTC and recover the UST price to 1$, but in the end the UST nevers pegs again.
This makes Luna price starts to crumble, and in the end during May 12 Luna price reach a floor price collapsing.
-
In the end, the cryptocurrency economy suffers $300 billion in loses and the Terra Network developers forked their project as Terra 2.0 without UST this time, only LUNA.
- It was by the governance proposal 1623, voted by Terra Classic users the main reason to create a new terra.

Knowhere Marketplace in Terra
> The only one at the moment - Knowhere


🔍 Knowhere Analysis🔍
As the only Marketplace, activity really starts low, being the first marketplace didn’t help much so maybe they didn’t have enough collections.
In August 2022 their activity increase with users and sales, in the end of the month and thanks to the rise of LUNA Price, September activity is really stable, with a lot of users and sales.
But is in October 2022, the best Month for this marketplaces, reaching spikes in Sales, Users and $USD Volume.
Sadly in November the activity drops but mantain the same numbers as when their popularity rises in August.
Whats the reason behind the boom in October?, the only way to see is by Collections! but as a guess the effect of Halloween and the boom of NFTs between other chains such as Art Gobblers in Ethereum or NFT Reddit Avatars in Polygon during may have an effect on the NFT Market in Terra 2.0.
Maybe in December with Christmas and New Collections the boom from October can appear again.
