Terraform Labs CEO Do Kwon’s plan to create a new blockchain “without the algorithmic stablecoin” TerraUSD (UST) has the support of 85 million community votes.

In a proposal opened to the Terra community on Wednesday, more than 91% of votes at the time of publication were in favor of “rebirthing” the Terra network — roughly 85 million out of 93 million, with up to 284 million votes yet to be cast. The proposal needs roughly 188 million votes in favor to pass before the window closes on May 25.

At the time of publication, the biggest validator to come out in support of the proposal is Terra infrastructure provider Orbital Command, holding 1.39% of the voting power. Major validators with more than 2% of voting power have not yet made a decision, including cross-chain stablecoin bank Orion.Money with 8.63%.

The governance proposal Kwon drafted on Monday called for a new chain named Terra not linked to UST, using the token LUNA. The “old” blockchain would continue to support “residual UST holders” and operate under the name Terra Classic (LUNC).

Despite the overwhelming approval of the proposal at the time of publication, many on social media seem to be against forking Terra. Some users
