    • Staking: Users stake LUNA to validators who record and verify transactions on the blockchain in exchange for rewards from transaction fees.
    • Governance: Token holders can participate in treasury governance and stakers can participate in proposals and voting.
    • Paying Fees: Users use LUNA for processing transactions and storing data.
  • The project consists of the following major components working in conjunction:
    • Terra Core: the official Golang reference implementation of the Terra protocol.
    • Terra Station: Terra station is the official wallet of Terra, allowing transactions, smart contract testing and interactions, and other functions.
    • Terraform Labs (TFL): an entity that facilitates the development of Terra, and maintains Terra station (explorer), Terra Core, and other technical infrastructures etc.
