I heard about Luna token and I'm curious about its function and utility. I want to understand what role it plays and how it can be used.

    Terra LUNA served as the native token of the network, fulfilling dual roles as both a staking and governance asset.

    To participate in the governance process, users stake their LUNA tokens. This process earns them a seat in the governance structure and the opportunity to become validators, which in turn grants them rewards.

    Staking LUNA not only allows users to influence the direction of the network but also provides them with financial incentives.

    In addition to staking, users have the option to burn their LUNA tokens. This action is used to mint Terra's UST token, a stablecoin designed to maintain a constant value relative to a specific fiat currency.

    Alternatively, users can burn LUNA to mint a token tied to their local fiat currency, offering a decentralized and blockchain-based alternative to traditional financial systems.
