✓ Explain how it works and what is Terra stablecoin
The Terra bridge is aimed at setting up a structure for easy and permissionless transfer of assets
What are Terra stablecoin
The crypto market is always in motion, getting rising and falling, this is called Volatility. Terra stablecoins were designed to minimise the effect of volatility on cryptocurrency. The main cryptocurrency of terra is called LUNA
. The terra USD called UST is a terra stablecoin. The coins were made for the aim of maintaining stability of prices by the use of alogarithm, it was also designed for very low fee transaction and very fast swap transaction between one cryptocurrency and the other.
Some Terra ststablecoins are
USD(UST)
Rank 24
Price $1.00
Marketcap 8,542,644,389
Circulating supply 8.533.
TerraKRW(KRT)
Rank 680
Price $0.00008891
Marketcap $38,037,24
Circulating supply 342.773KRT
Others are
TerraJPY, TerraCNY, TerraEUR, TerraGBP etc.
You have 1500USD and you want to transform it into UST. Explain in details and take the price of the updated LUNA token
From the screenshot above, it displays that the price of TerraUSD (UST) is $1.00
1USD=1UST
This automatically means that
1500USD=1500UST
Lets go over Terra LUNA
The price = $71.14
If 1UST=$71.14LUNA
then, 1500UST = 1500÷71.14
=$21.09
This is to firmly say at the time of my assignment, 1500USD is equivalent to 21.09LUNA
✓ Now you have those 1500 USD and you want to make profit since 1UST=1.07USD, explain in details and take price of updated LUNA token
Since 1UST = 1.07USD
1500USD = 1500×1.07
=1605
To get the profit we will be subtracting the invested USD from the new gotten USD
1605-1500 = 105USD
Let's convert USD into LUNA
Remember, 1LUNA = $71.14
Therefore, to get the amount of LUNA for 1605USD, divide 1605USD by the current price of LUNA
1605USD÷ 71.14
=22.56LUNA
This means that if 1UST = 1.07USD, then 1605USD is equivalent to 22.56LUNA
