ClassyCrypto Leads Terra Classic (LUNC) Burn Initiative

On December 21, Terra Classic influencer ClassyCrypto officially announced burning 100% of its LUNC validator commission in a tweet. The burn included funds from Classy’s Crypto Sphere validator commission of almost 8 million LUNC tokens, YouTube ad revenue, and other sources.

After a 0.2% burn tax, ClassyCrypto reported burning close to 13 million LUNC tokens. Additionally, he disclosed the specifics of sending LUNC to the burn address. It displays a transaction fee of 25,575 LUNC tokens along with the 12,787,487.63 LUNC tokens that were sent to the burn address.

“I also burnt all of the ad revenue our LUNC videos on YouTube have generated this month. Our LUNC focus is burning.”

Other members of the Terra Classic community thanked ClassyCrypto for keeping his word and supporting the community’s burn effort.

Classy’s Crypto Sphere validator is switching to a 100% commission-burned model, ClassyCrypto tweeted on Tuesday. In order to better serve the community, it will “move toward a 100% non-profit model.” He disclosed the intent to burn several billion LUNC tokens in 2023.

Up to this point, the Terra Classic community has burned more than 36.231 billion LUNC tokens. With over 20 billion LUNC tokens burned, Binance, a cryptocurrency exchange, is responsible for the majority of the burn. Additionally, the community’s burn tax has burned more than 11 billion LUNC tokens.
