ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) regulations for crypto assets aim to address their environmental impact (e.g., energy-intensive mining), promote transparency, and ensure ethical governance practices to align the crypto industry with broader sustainability and societal goals. These regulations encourage compliance with standards that mitigate risks and foster trust in digital assets.

Consensus Mechanism | Terra 2.0 is a Layer 1 blockchain developed with the Cosmos SDK and utilizes the Tendermint BFT (Byzantine Fault Tolerance) consensus protocol. This architecture allows Terra 2.0 to act as a standalone blockchain within the Cosmos ecosystem and benefit from Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) to enable seamless interactions with other blockchains. The Tendermint BFT consensus protocol implemented in Terra 2.0 combines a classic Byzantine fault tolerance approach with a Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) system. Validators are selected by staking LUNA tokens and are responsible for validating transactions and creating new blocks. |
Incentive Mechanisms and Applicable Fees | Terra 2.0, validators are incentivized through staking rewards, which are distributed to maintain the network's security and functionality. These rewards are derived from a combination of transaction fees (referred to as gas fees), seigniorage (if applicable), and other network-specific revenue sources. Validators share these rewards with delegators, who stake their LUNA tokens by delegating them to validators. Transaction fees in Terra 2.0 are paid in LUNA, the network's native token. These fees are calculated based on the computational resources required to process transactions, such as smart contract execution or token transfers. The fee structure follows a 'base fee plus priority fee' model, where users can pay an additional fee to prioritize their transactions during periods of high network congestion. Fees serve two purposes: they prevent spam attacks by adding a cost to every transaction and provide financial rewards to validators for processing transactions. |
