Near Terraform Labs announced Chris Amani was appointed as the interim chief executive officer (CEO), replacing co-founder Du Kwon.
Terraform Labs Promotes Former COO Chris Amani to Director and Interim CEO
Chris Amani, a seasoned leader with over two decades of experience in the technology industry, has been selected as the interim CEO for Terraform Labs. Amani brings valuable insight and expertise to this new role, having served as Chief Operating Officer (COO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) since joining the company in 2021.
Previously, Amani held leadership positions at leading technology companies such as MongoDB, Electronic Arts and Zynga. His deep understanding of TfL’s operations and strategy will enable him to address the company’s current challenges and advance its mission.
The decision comes as Kwon faces possible extradition from Montenegro to South Korea or the United States, where he is currently serving a prison sentence.
Navigating troubled waters: Terra’s comeback plan
Terra, which is known for its TerraUSD and Luna cryptocurrencies, suffered a major blow in May 2022 when the collapse of its stablecoin sent shockwaves throughout the crypto market.
Co-founder Do Kwon’s legal troubles further worsened the situation, with allegations of misleading investors and alleged involvement in illegal transactions during the collapse.
Amidst these challenges, Chris Amani expressed his commitment to revitalize Terra Blockchain and focus on developing applications that provide real utility.

TfL’s turnaround plan includes executing a clear vision for Terra’s role within the wider Web3 ecosystem, which Amani and the team are dedicated to implementing.
The new CEO emphasized the importance of community collaboration and shared goals during this rebuilding phase. With about 40 employees, the company will continue to operate without Do Kwon’s leadership as he focuses on addressing his legal matters.
The team is optimistic about its ability to salvage the position and is actively working on plans to take the company forward. Nevertheless, the legal issues surrounding Do Kwon’s involvement in the collapse have been a significant issue of concern.
Terra’s recovery plan is not devoid of its complications, but Team Terra remains determined to restore the value of the Classic ecosystem.
In his statement, Aman said, “The process will not be easy, but we have a clear vision for where Terra fits within the broader Web 3 ecosystem and we are highly focused on executing against that vision. We look forward to sharing more details on this soon”
The plan includes reducing node syncing times, creating the TeraUSD testnet, developing yield generating applications, and implementing a reward system for developers.
