Since Terra’s collapse in May 2022, LUNC has faced fragmentation, unclear governance, and no clear vision. Community proposals often conflict, and decision making is slow. This adds to the volatility and makes it hard to attract developers.
A strong and visible leader or leadership team could bring:
1. Clarity and Coordination
Key figures can help align the strategy across token burning, development, and ecosystem growth.
2. Credibility
A trusted leader can build confidence, attract skilled people, and rebuild trust in the project.
3. Momentum
Even imperfect leadership is better than no direction. It helps move the project forward, which is important for a token with weak fundamentals.
Two names are often mentioned: Do Kwon and CZ (Changpeng Zhao, founder of Binance). But who is better for LUNC?
1. Do Kwon: The Founder’s Return?
Background
Do Kwon co-founded Terraform Labs and led Terra until UST crashed. After the collapse, he introduced “Revival Plan 2,” which created a split between Terra Classic (LUNC) and Terra 2.0 (the new LUNA).
A. Pros
Founder legitimacy: He understands system architecture and technical debt from day one.
Governance familiarity: Early proposals had his influence, giving LUNC a backbone.
B. Cons
Legal baggage: Facing international legal proceeding.
Trust deficit: His role in the collapse means many see him as a liability, not a savior.
2. CZ: The Industry Titan?
Background
Changpeng Zhao, co-founder and former CEO of Binance, has deep crypto influence. Although he stepped down in Nov 2023 and served four months in prison for money‑laundering, he remains a major strategic advisor globally.
A. Pros
Brand boost: His name adds instant credibility and visibility.
Resource-rich: Binance has burned LUNC tokens and remains engaged in LUNC’s burns
Operational know-how: He’s scaled Binance through tumultuous markets, this experience could leverage LUNC.
B. Cons
Community pushback: Several proposals to appoint him sparked backlash for appearing unserious or overly centralized.
Conflict of interest: As Binance advisor, his strategic goals may not align perfectly with LUNC’s decentralizing ethos.
So who is better :
1. Do Kwon has technical knowledge but legal risks.
2. CZ has resources and trust but no deep link to LUNC’s core.
3. The best option may be a mix CZ as advisor and a trusted team to lead development.
