The biz rose to prominence outside cryptocurrency circles in 2022 when the value of TerraUSD dropped from $1 to just nine cents โ a disaster given the digital currency was promoted as a "stablecoin" that would maintain its value, in this case by matching the US dollar.
But its protocol โ which aimed to ensure TerraUSD's price would remain stable โ failed miserably in part thanks to its underlying blockchain being unable to scale as scared investors sent demand for transactions soaring.
