Terra Luna Classic Proposal For USTC Repeg

Proposal 12102 “The Ultimate Repeg Plan – A Community-Driven Repegging Proposal” is under voting stage on Terra Classic Station wallet. The proposal’s aim is to establish a resilient and community-driven mechanism focused on incrementally restoring and preserving the stability of the USTC peg.

The proposal is based on three mechanism. These are — stakers need to lock a specific amount of USTC along their LUNC delegations to fully earn their staking rewards and stakers must lock additional USTC when the price of USTC falls for full staking rewards. Also, after the repeg, stakers are not required to maintain the additional USTC balance to earn rewards and allow them to sell extra USTC at a profit.

The proposal hasn’t received much voting from the community, with 18% “Yes” votes. It saw high number of “No” votes at 78.45%. Validators such as Interstellar Lounge, JESUSisLORD, Community First LUNC and others have voted against the proposal, believing that the proposal holds no value. Whereas, LBUN Project, StakeBin, and other think the narrative can help repeg USTC.
