Guide: LUNA 2.0 Airdrop
On May 28, 2022, Terraform Labs began the process of airdropping new LUNA tokens to holders of the old LUNA, now called Terra Classic (LUNC). In this guide, we’ll take a look at the particulars of the airdrop, plus the purpose and utility of LUNA 2.0.
LUNA Airdrop Details
According to Terra’s official documentation, the airdrop distribution was broken down into 5 different categories: community pool (30%), pre-depeg LUNA holders (35%), pre-depeg aUST holders (10%), post-attack LUNA holders (10%), and post-attack UST holders (15%).30% of the airdropped tokens were made immediately available to both pre and post-attack LUNA and aUST holders at the start of the new Terra blockchain, while the remaining 70% is expected to be distributed over the next two years. The cliff and vesting periods are longer for those who held over 10K LUNA before UST’s de-peg.
That’s a lot of numbers and percentages, but the main takeaway is this: if you held LUNA or deposited UST into the Anchor protocol before the de-peg, or if you held LUNA or UST after the de-peg but before the post-attack snapshot taken on May 27th, you should have received a portion of the airdrop. The rest will be distributed over the next two years (four if you held over 1 million LUNA).
Medium user MC provided helpful tables for airdrop eligibility and the chains, bridges, and exchanges that were supported in their post about the Terra 2.0/LUNA airdrop.
However, the airdrop has not gone as smoothly as planned. Some users have reported not receiving the correct amount of tokens. This is after exchange listings and airdrops have been completed. Terra’s developers are aware of the issue and are working on a solution according to the official Terra Twitter account, though just what the solution will look like or any timeline is unknown.
LUNA 2.0 Purpose and Utility
The most immediate use of the new LUNA token will be for staking. All airdropped LUNA will automatically be staked to help secure the network. In addition, the vested LUNA that will be available to holders after the 6-month cliff will be staked as soon as it becomes available according to the vesting schedule detailed in the section above.The secondary purpose of LUNA 2.0 is the potential rehabilitation of Terra’s image in the eyes of investors. A successful relaunch and airdrop could do wonders for a company (Terraform Labs) and an ecosystem that has a long way to go to recapture the trust of its users and a top-10 ranking among cryptocurrencies. Legal issues surrounding the collapse of UST/LUNA could make the rebrand easier said than done, however.
Unlike the original LUNA, now LUNC, there is no tie to a stablecoin like UST. The original model saw LUNA as collateral for UST and it was burned when demand for UST rose.
Without a stablecoin planned for the new Terra ecosystem, staking LUNA will be the primary use case for the immediate future.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the success guarantee work?
If our approach to the market doesn’t beat the overall crypto market during your subscription, we’ll give you a full refund of your membership fee. No questions asked. For quarterly and monthly subscribers this is applicable once your subscription runs for 6 consecutive months.
