The Terra Classic community has in total burned over 226 million LUNC tokens in January amid the push to increase the burn rate. Also, the total LUNC tokens burned by the community has reached over 38 billion LUNC tokens. Moreover, the total LUNC tokens staked has reached almost 903 billion, with staked supply ratio of 13.14%.
Cremation Coin shared the burn transaction on Twitter, noting the commitment to the community. However, the project commits to burn billions in LUNC tokens and needs the community’s support. It plans to burn 10% of the project’s total transaction volume in LUNC every week.
“Another 16,455,507 LUNC gone! Great job, but we can do better! We need everyone talking about this project’s potential! New website on the way, AMA tomorrow, staking coming! You better get on now before it takes off.”
The project’s total burns now account for 28,694,091 LUNC, which would have already made it the 19th largest burner on LUNC Penguins portal. However, an earlier 12 million LUNC burn was not counted due to technical reasons. At the time of writing, the Cremation Coin is the 23rd largest LUNC burner, more than Terra Classic influencer Classy Crypto.
LUNC price currently trades at $0.000172, up 2% in the last 24 hours. The trading volume has jumped over 40% in the last 24 hours.
