Terra Luna Classic LUNC USTC

A proposal to burn all 8 million TerraClassicUSD (USTC) in the community pool is recommended by popular Terra Luna Classic community member and validator VegasMorph. The move comes amid the renewed narrative to burn 800 million USTC from Risk Harbor Multisig Wallet, which was also initially suggested by VegasMorph. Will this bring a recovery in prices as the community looks to burn all idle tokens in wallets?

USTC Burn From Terra Luna Classic Community Pool

VegasMorph took to X to reach out to the wider Terra Luna Classic community about a proposal to burn USTC in the community pool. The proposal aims to burn nearly 8 million USTC through a spend proposal to burn address. Currently, the community pool has 7.95 million USTC, as per StakeBin data.

The rationale behind this proposal is to consider burning all USTC in the community pool as they are not currently required for community initiatives. The community pool has a substantial amount of 3.3 billion LUNC. This is enough to cover the on-chain activities and manage other costs.

“By taking the initiative to burn this amount of USTC, we demonstrate our commitment to self-sufficiency and the responsible management of community resources. This action not only aligns with our community’s vision for deflation but also sends a powerful message that we are proactive in shaping the future of Terra classic,” said VegasMorph.
