    Luna and Wrapped Luna are two different versions of the same token, each operating on a different blockchain. Luna is the original token on the Terra blockchain, while Wrapped Luna is an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum blockchain. The main purpose of Wrapped Luna is to enable Luna holders to access the Ethereum DeFi ecosystem. By wrapping Luna as an ERC-20 token, it becomes compatible with Ethereum-based applications and can be traded on decentralized exchanges. This provides more liquidity and flexibility for Luna holders, allowing them to take advantage of the opportunities in both the Terra and Ethereum ecosystems.
