After denying many proposals related to raising LUNC burn and burn tax, the Terra Luna Classic community finally decided to increase the LUNC burn tax. The move came as LUNC price fell below $0.000010 last week, reaching levels of last May when TerraUSD (UST) and LUNA prices collapsed drastically.
Meanwhile, some Terra Classic influencers have hinted at proposals coming in June to restore LUNC burn tax to the initial 1.2% level. However, the community may have to convince Binance CEO “CZ” before making these decisions as Binance warned to revoke its LUNC burn mechanism.

Binance May Support Raising LUNC Burn Tax
Some believe the burn tax should be raised permanently to the initial 1.2% as introduced by core developer Edward Kim. Binance will completely agree with it as the burn tax was never the reason for reducing the LUNC spot and margin trading fees contribution to 50%, but Proposal 10983 to contribute funds to the community pool from burn tax.
Increasing the burn tax is likely to increase Binance LUNC burns and overall LUNC burn rate. Meanwhile, a new project burned 1.5 billion LUNC tokens in two weeks, comparatively larger than Binance’s 1.2 billion LUNC burn in a month.
LUNC price currently trades at $0.00008917, down 1% in the last 24 hours. The 24-hour low and high are $0.000087 and $0.000091, respectively.
