The Terra Classic (LUNC) blockchain does not rely on energy-hungry mining. Instead, it uses a modern system called Proof of Stake (PoS) to keep the network secure, fast, and fully decentralized.
What is Proof of Stake in LUNC?
Proof of Stake is a consensus mechanism where participants lock up their LUNC tokens to support the blockchain. These participants are divided into two roles:
● Validators create and verify new blocks.
● Delegators lend their voting power by staking with trusted validators and earn a share of the rewards.
This process not only secures the blockchain but also gives every LUNC holder a voice in important decisions.
Why Does It Matter?
● By staking LUNC, token holders do more than earn rewards. They help:
● Protect the network against attacks by giving validators an incentive to act honestly.
● Support governance by voting on proposals that decide the future of Terra Classic.
Drive long term stability through an efficient system that consumes far less energy than mining.
Validators who misbehave—such as going offline or attempting to cheat—face penalties known as “jail,”.
Built for the Cosmos Ecosystem
Terra Classic runs on Tendermint BFT, a Proof of Stake engine used in the Cosmos network. This makes it compatible with other blockchains in the ecosystem and gives it room to grow through future integrations.
The Bottom Line
Proof of Stake is not just a technical feature. It is the backbone of LUNC’s revival, allowing the community to secure the network, earn staking rewards, and influence governance decisions—all while building on scalable technology.
