Open source development is transparent, and I would urge media to check if a single line of code by your "experts" has ever made it into production.” He said, "While TFL intends to continue supporting and building on the Terra 2.0 network, it is not by any means a "TFL-led" chain - we consciously bowed out of airdrop allocations and all the decisions are being made by various community groups, albeit in a rocky fashion."

This lawsuit is unrelated to the recent collapse of the Terra ecosystem. Nor is it related to the criminal investigation into Kwon and Terraform Labs by South Korean authorities. (CoinDesk)
