Community Update — November 2023
November was an exciting month for the Terra ecosystem, marked by a flurry of strategic moves by Terraform Labs (TFL), including its acquisition of Pulsar Finance and deployment of substantial blue chip liquidity on Astroport, Ura, and White Whale. This $17.65M capital infusion led to a notable spike in on-chain activity, but the momentum didn’t stop there: Terra integrated its new FeeShare module, AllianceDAO dropped updates on the soon-to-launch Alliance NFT collection, and Enterprise DAO v2 introduced cross-chain treasury functionality.
