Confidence among the developer team seems to be solid, as all issues reported during the testnet phase have been successfully resolved. Validators involved in the rebel-2 testnet provided valuable feedback that is likely to ease the mainnet upgrade process.
As for community opinion, initial voting suggests overwhelming support for the upgrade, with a staggering 99.65% casting “Yes” votes. Despite the widespread approval, a minority voice of concern has emerged, pointing to the hiccups experienced during the last upgrade, specifically its impact on decentralized applications and projects, such as Astroport.
On the financial front, Terra Classic is trading at a modest $0.00006, but with a robust 24-hour trading volume of $44,246,318, and a market cap of $352,183,886, which puts it at rank 87 on CoinMarketCap. Meanwhile, Terra trades at $0.414794, with an impressive trading volume of $227,009,472 USD, and a market cap of $151,951,018 USD, ranking at 150.

Investor interest seems to parallel community sentiment, leaning in favor of the impending upgrade.

It is seen as a potentially transformative event for the Terra Luna Classic ecosystem.
