Terra Luna Classic Mulls Raising LUNC Burn Tax To 1.5%

Terra Luna Classic community members contemplate raising the burn tax from 0.5% to 1.5% amid the burn tax distribution and Tax2Burn proposal. The community remains divided on the proposal to increase the on-chain tax rate, fearing crypto exchange Binance may suspend the LUNC burn mechanism.

Terra Luna Classic Proposes To Revise On-Chain Tax to 1.5%

Terra Classic validator JesusisLord proposed increasing the on-chain tax rate from 0.5% to 1.5%. The validator also suggests keeping the burn tax unchanged until a total supply target of 10 billion LUNC is reached. This is similar to the community’s initial target set during the burn tax mechanism incorporation.

The 0.5% LUNC burn tax is currently split into 80% and 20%, with the 20% breakdown as — 10% to the community pool and 10% to the oracle pool. With the v3.1.3 upgrade for tax burn distribution successfully implemented, oracle pool will get 10% of the burn tax.

If the tax is increased to 1.5%, it will increase the burn tax to 1.2% from the current 0.4%. Also, it will increase the contribution to the community pool and the oracle pool, making all components boost by three times.

“We can expect a substantial increase in the rate of LUNC and USTC burns from the tax, the community pool funding rate, and funding to the oracle pool for long-term staking rewards,” said the Terra Luna Classic validator.

Notably, this proposal will not proceed for governance voting unless Tax2Gas is successfully implemented on-chain. Core developer Genuine Labs expects the Tax2Gas to go live in August.

Community Response To LUNC Burn Tax Rate

The Terra Luna Classic (LUNC) community remains divided over the proposal to increase the burn tax rate. While some members advocate for the potential benefits of a higher burn tax, others express concerns that major exchanges, such as Binance, might withdraw their support for the LUNC burn mechanism if the tax rate is raised.

This debate has sparked significant controversy within the community. Proponents of the increased tax rate argue that it could accelerate the reduction of the LUNC supply, potentially increasing the token‘s value. On the other hand, opponents fear that losing exchange support could diminish liquidity and trading volume, negatively impacting the token’s market presence.

Amidst this ongoing discussion, the community is closely monitoring updates related to the Tax2Gas initiative and the proposed changes to the burn tax. The outcome of this debate could have substantial implications for the future of Terra Luna Classic and its ecosystem.

LUNC Burn Boost

Raising the burn tax to 1.5% will increase the rate of LUNC and USTC burns from the tax, the community pool funding rate, and funding to the oracle pool for long-term Terra Luna Classic staking rewards.
