Terra Classic 10x Gas Proposal Faced Roadblock

Proposal 12095 “10x Gas Fees” gained a significant amount of votes in favor as the Terra Luna Classic community considers it crucial. However, the community votes to reject the proposal considering a raise in gas fees is not required at present.

The proposal claims gas fees on-chain are extremely low, requiring only 3.74 LUNC for a transaction. Transaction spam attacks against our network are seen as feasible and economical to perform because of this situation. To prevent this, the proposal suggests raising gas fees by 10x.

The gas fees from transactions are split 50% to the community pool and 50% to staking rewards. Thus, the proposal asserts it would increase the costs of transaction attacks against the network. However, the proposal could have a notable impact on dapps and chain partners due to high fees.

The proposal has received 45% votes in favor and 48% “No” and “No with veto” votes. Current voting status by validators indicates 29 “Yes” votes, 10 voted “No” and 17 voted “No with veto”, along with 4 Abstain votes.

Terra Classic core developer Genuine Labs also submitted a proposal to counter peer-to-peer storm attacks on the Terra Classic chain by decreasing MaxBlockSize from 5mb to 2mb, the community passed the proposal.
