Binance To Support Terra Luna Classic Core Upgrade

Binance in an official announcement on September 12 revealed support for the Terra Luna Classic network upgrade. The v2.2.1 core upgrade will happen at block height 14514000 on September 12 at 10:15 UTC, according to the countdown.

The crypto exchange will suspend deposits and withdrawals of tokens through the Terra Classic network an hour before the upgrade. However, the spot and margin trading of LUNC and USTC on the Terra Classic (LUNC) network will continue to operate normally during the upgrade.

“Binance will handle all technical requirements involved for all users. We will reopen deposits and withdrawals of tokens via the Terra Classic network once we deem the upgraded network to be stable, and we will not notify users in a further announcement.”

CoinGape Media earlier reported that the proposal received unanimous support from the Terra Luna Classic community, with 99.85% “Yes” votes. In total 50 validators participated in the governance voting and 49 voted in favor of the proposal. Top validators including Allnodes, Interstellar Lounge, HappyCattyCrypto, Stakely, 1maxfee, and others support the proposal.

The v2.2.0 core upgrade includes cosmos SDK upgrade, tendermint migration to CometBFT, IBC-go to v6, and wasmd. The upgrade also implements key changes earlier passed through governance voting including splitting the burn tax to the distribution module.
