The Terra Luna Classic price has crept up by 1% in the past 24 hours, following the emergence of a proposal to merge its ecosystem with that of the newer Terra 2.0 platform.

The latest news on this proposal is that it will happen at some point next month, although this remains provisional, given that it's dependent on the reopening of the IBC bridge, which will
