Terra Luna Classic Community Moves Closer To Burning 800 Million USTC

The Terra Luna Classic community has officially passed the proposal related to burning 800 million USTC. The proposal by popular LUNC community member Vegas proposed to blacklist Ozone Protocol wallet containing 800 million USTC, freezing the tokens rather than destroying them without authorization. Traders reacted immediately to the proposal’s passing, increasing prices.

Terra Luna Classic Community Passes 800 Million USTC Burn Proposal

Proposal 11832 “Proposal to blacklist wallet TERRA1QYW695VAXJ7JL6S4U564C6XKFE59KERCG0H88W” has surpassed the “pass threshold” after top validator Allnodes voted “Yes” to the proposal.

The proposal received 54.07% “Yes” votes, while 30.51% decided to vote “No.” It also received 13.39% No with veto and 2.03% Abstain votes. The community is unclear on whether freezing the wallet is the right thing as this may significantly delay the burn.

Among 52 validators that participated in the voting, 21 favored the proposal and 21 voted No and No with veto. It is a major proposal and that’s why some popular validator such as Hexxagon, LuncLive, LuncGoblins, and Solidvote chooses to vote “Abstain.”

“Directly changing the blockchain state and destroying funds goes against blockchain ethos. Blacklisting allows for a reversible action, enabling fund recovery through governance if valid reasons are provided by the wallet owners.”

The community earlier passed proposals to approve 800 million USTC burn, but the idea to use diplomacy to persuade the wallet owners to transfer to the community pool or burn the funds directly has failed. The L1 development team will promptly implement the blacklisting process now.
