Binance Switches to Monthly Terra Classic (LUNC) Burn

After burning 1.26 billion Terra Classic (LUNC) tokens in the fifth batch of the weekly burn mechanism, Binance changed the rules to burn LUNC on monthly basis. Therefore, Binance will burn trading fees on LUNC spot and margin trading pairs from October 30-November 29 on December 1.

Binance will calculate total trading fees on LUNC spot and margin trading pairs to be burned from the previous month on the first day of every month. The subsequent on-chain burn transactions and monthly report will be updated on the next day.

The amount of LUNC burned continued to decline amid low trading and passing multiple proposals, which affected sentiments. The crypto exchange burned over 5.5 billion Terra Classic (LUNC) tokens in the first batch and 1.26 billion Terra Classic (LUNC) tokens in the fifth batch on October 31.

The community passed Proposal 5234 which effectively reduced the tax burn from 1.2% to 0.2%. Terra Classic saw an increase in validators after the volunteer developer group Terra Rebels announced proposals for new validators and increase utility on the Terra Classic blockchain.

Moreover, the community has passed Proposal 8813 for establishing the Terra Grants Program managed by Edward Kim, a lead developer at Terra Rebels. The program receives 1.6 million USTC for running the program.
