The independent Terra Classic development company TerraCVita has secured an additional $2 million for its anticipated decentralized finance project Terraport, including the eagerly anticipated decentralized exchange (DEX).

The group announced this in a brief post today and stated that it obtained the funds from delegators for TerraCVita and LUNC Community Italia through private sales. Recall that TerraCVita disclosed a limited private sale for delegators of the anticipated DEX token “TERRA” at a discounted price on Wednesday.

The sale comes to a close with today’s announcement. The TerraCVita validator has 1,728 distinct delegates, whereas LUNC Comunity Italia has 672 unique delegates, according to data from Smart Stake Analytics.

TerraCVita announced today that it would conduct two public sales within the next five weeks. Notably, the group has started a special Twitter account and pledged to publish the project whitepaper asap.

Predictably, the news was well received by the Terra Classic community. Rex Harrison, often known as Rexzy, a senior member of TerraCVita, praised the fundraising and called it an important accomplishment in the current market. Rexzy views it as proof that the community is receptive to funding initiatives and believes in the development team.

However, it was previously announced that $1 million in funding had been obtained through private sales.

It’s important to note that the group has been hyping the release of a Terra Classic DEX for over three months, with a Q1 2023 launch date announced. The project might start in late February or early March, depending on when two additional public sales are scheduled over the next five weeks.

Rexzy has promoted the DEX as a Terra Luna Classic (LUNC) furnace. Details on this will probably be provided to the community in the proposed whitepaper.
