The original name of Terra LUNA Classic is Terra (LUNA); the notorious project built on Cosmos that attempted to provide the ultimate algorithmic stablecoin UST (now USTC). After UST completely lost its peg in May 2022, the project was abandoned by developer team, but a group of Terra’s loyal supporters have picked up from there and continued the work.
LUNC remains the back-up token for USTC, meaning that an increase in LUNC value could eventually lead to the repeg of USTC. The latest move by Terra Rebels, people who are working for the revival of LUNC, is to introduce and pass the 1.2% tax burn proposal, which aims to effectively remove 1.2% of each LUNC transaction from the circulating supply. The tax is not imposed on swapping activities between USTC and LUNC. Several centralized exchanges (CEXs) have subsequently implemented the new mechanism.
Following the depegging event of USTC (back then UST) in May 2022, LUNC (formerly LUNA) was minted constantly to bring USTC value back to the US$1 mark. However, the plan got derailed when LUNC supply skyrocketed from 340 million to 6.2 trillion within a few days without USTC being saved. The current supply of Terra LUNA Classic stands at nearly 7 trillion tokens; and if a hypothetical 400 million LUNC is to be burned everyday, this mechanism would take almost seven years to get rid of the first 1 trillion LUNC tokens. More actions are therefore needed to speed up the process.
