Binance Restores LUNC Deposits and Withdrawals on Terra Classic
Binance has restored deposits and withdrawals for Terra Classic’s LUNC token on the Terra Classic network, allowing users to move LUNC through the blockchain once again.
The restoration provides renewed access for users who want to deposit or withdraw LUNC using the Terra Classic network. Binance currently supports deposits with one block confirmation, while incoming transactions are expected to arrive in approximately one minute under normal network conditions.
The exchange also maintains a minimum deposit requirement of more than 13 LUNC.
Restored Network Access Supports LUNC Activity
The return of LUNC deposits and withdrawals on Terra Classic is important for maintaining access to the network and supporting continued activity around the token.
LUNC transactions on the Terra Classic network are subject to a 1.5 percent on chain transaction tax. A portion of this activity contributes to the ongoing reduction of the LUNC supply through burns.
With the total LUNC supply remaining near 6.45 trillion tokens, supply reduction remains an important focus for the Terra Classic community.
LUNC Burns Continue to Reduce Supply
LUNC burns continue to remove tokens from circulation as users and projects participate in activities that contribute to the burn mechanism.
However, the scale of the remaining supply means that sustained activity will be required for burns to have a meaningful long term impact.
The relationship between network activity and supply reduction remains a central part of the broader LUNC recovery narrative. Increased transaction activity can generate more tax revenue, which can contribute to additional token burns over time.
Staking Ratio Remains Around 14 Percent
Alongside the ongoing burn effort, LUNC staking remains another important part of the Terra Classic ecosystem.
Around 14 percent of the LUNC supply is currently staked. Staking reduces the amount of tokens immediately available for trading while allowing holders to participate in network security and earn staking rewards.
The combination of staking and token burns continues to support efforts to reduce the effective circulating supply over the long term.
Long Term Supply Reduction Remains the Key Focus
The restoration of LUNC deposits and withdrawals by Binance provides users with renewed access to the Terra Classic network. It also comes as the community continues to focus on reducing the large token supply through burns, staking and broader network activity.
While these developments can support the ecosystem, supply reduction is a long term process. With trillions of LUNC still in existence, sustained network usage and consistent burn activity will be necessary for the impact to become increasingly significant.
For the Terra Classic community, the latest Binance update represents another step in maintaining accessibility to the network while the ecosystem continues its broader efforts toward supply reduction and long term recovery.
Terra Classic Community Burns More Than 455 Billion LUNC
The Terra Classic community has now burned more than 455.27 billion LUNC, marking another major milestone in the network’s ongoing effort to reduce the token supply.
The latest burn activity continues to come from multiple sources, including daily on chain transactions, transaction taxes, exchange supported burn programs, and community initiatives.
LUNC Burn Activity Continues
According to the latest figures, approximately 52 million LUNC were burned in the latest daily activity, while the total amount burned over the past seven days reached around 497 million LUNC.
These burns are part of a broader long term effort by the Terra Classic community to reduce the circulating supply of LUNC. Every qualifying transaction contributes to the network’s burn mechanism, creating a steady source of supply reduction.
Binance’s monthly LUNC burn program also remains an important contributor to the overall burn total. In addition, exchange initiatives such as the upcoming WEEX burn campaign are adding further support to the community’s supply reduction efforts.
More Than One Million Active Wallets
Terra Classic continues to maintain a large user base, with more than 1 million active wallets connected to the network.
The network includes approximately 675,000 LUNC holders and around 151,000 stakers, highlighting continued participation from users who hold and stake their tokens.
Staking also plays an important role in the Terra Classic ecosystem by encouraging users to keep their LUNC within the network while supporting network security and validator operations.
Network Upgrades Support Long Term Development
Alongside the ongoing burn activity, Terra Classic continues to develop its underlying technology.
The Terra Classic version 3.5.0 upgrade introduced additional improvements, including no mint functionality. Network upgrades such as these are designed to improve the protocol and support the long term development of the blockchain.
The combination of supply reduction, staking participation, governance activity, and protocol development remains a key part of the Terra Classic community’s broader recovery efforts.
LUNC Market Activity
At the time of writing, LUNC is trading at approximately $0.0000478, with a market capitalization estimated between $263 million and $265 million.
Daily trading volume remains around $9 million to $10 million, showing continued market activity despite the relatively low token price.
While burns alone do not determine the future price of LUNC, supporters view a sustained reduction in supply as an important part of the network’s long term strategy.
The Long Term LUNC Burn Strategy
The Terra Classic burn effort has developed into a combination of community activity, transaction based burns, exchange programs, and protocol level mechanisms.
With more than 455.27 billion LUNC burned, the community has already reached a significant milestone. Continued participation from holders, traders, validators, exchanges, and other ecosystem participants could keep the burn mechanism active over the long term.
For Terra Classic supporters, each additional LUNC burned represents another step toward reducing the overall supply while the network continues to develop its technology and ecosystem.
The Luna Classic staking ratio is beginning to show signs of improvement, with more LUNC now being locked through staking.
As of August 18, approximately 908,681,271,185 LUNC is staked on the Terra Classic network. This represents a staking ratio of 14.08% of the total LUNC supply.
The latest figure marks a modest increase from August 7, when the Luna Classic staking ratio stood at approximately 14.03%.
Around 3 Billion LUNC Added to Staking
Since August 7, the amount of staked LUNC has increased by roughly 3 billion LUNC, while the staking ratio has climbed by about 0.05 percentage points.
Although the increase is relatively small, it indicates that some LUNC holders are choosing to lock their tokens through staking rather than keeping them available for immediate trading.
Staking removes tokens from the active market supply for the duration they remain bonded. This can reduce the amount of LUNC readily available for trading while allowing holders to earn staking rewards.
Why the Staking Ratio Matters
The staking ratio is an important metric for the Terra Classic ecosystem because it shows how much of the LUNC supply is committed to network staking.
A higher staking ratio can indicate stronger participation from the community and greater commitment to network security.
For LUNC holders, staking also provides an opportunity to earn rewards while contributing to the operation and security of the Terra Classic blockchain.
However, staking should not be viewed as a direct indicator of future price performance. The LUNC price continues to depend on broader market conditions, demand, ecosystem development, token supply changes, and overall activity across the Terra Classic network.
Despite the latest increase, the current staking ratio remains relatively modest compared with the overall LUNC supply.
With 14.08% of LUNC currently staked, more than 85% of the supply remains outside staking.
The recent increase could become more significant if the trend continues over the coming weeks. Sustained growth in the staking ratio would indicate that more holders are committing their LUNC to the network.
What Comes Next for LUNC Staking?
The next few weeks will be important for determining whether the recent increase represents the beginning of a broader recovery in LUNC staking participation or simply a short term fluctuation.
For now, the latest data shows a gradual increase in both the number of staked LUNC and the overall staking ratio.
With 908.68 billion LUNC now staked and the staking ratio reaching 14.08%, Luna Classic staking participation is showing a small but positive move from the levels recorded earlier in August.
More Than 1 Million USTC Burned in the First 18 Days of August
More Than 1 Million USTC Burned in August
More than 1 million USTC has been burned during the first 18 days of August, marking another notable reduction in the USTC supply.
According to the latest burn data, a total of 1,032,623 USTC has been burned from August 1 through August 18. The figure is based on the available daily burn data, with August 18 still ongoing at the time of reporting.
The daily figures show that USTC burn activity has varied throughout the month, with several days recording significantly higher burn volumes.
USTC Burn Activity During the First 18 Days
The highest daily burn during this period was recorded on August 14, when 130,306 USTC was burned.
Other notable daily burns included:
August 5: 116,679 USTC
August 1: 113,960 USTC
August 4: 94,996 USTC
August 2: 93,341 USTC
August 6: 87,821 USTC
These larger burn days contributed significantly to the total recorded during the first 18 days of August.
At the other end of the range, some days recorded much smaller amounts. August 8 saw 2,486 USTC burned, while August 13 recorded 4,088 USTC.

August 18 Burn Data Is Still Incomplete
The reported total of 1,032,623 USTC represents the burn activity recorded through the available data for August 18.
Importantly, August 18 has not finished yet. This means the final burn figure for the day could increase as additional burn activity is recorded.
The current total should therefore be viewed as the latest available figure rather than the final August 18 result.
Continued Reduction in USTC Supply
USTC burns permanently reduce the amount of USTC in circulation. While daily burn amounts can fluctuate considerably, the cumulative burn figure provides a broader view of ongoing supply reduction.
With more than 1 million USTC already burned during the first 18 days of August, the activity adds to the cumulative effort to reduce the USTC supply.
As the month continues, additional burn activity could further increase the August total.
Conclusion
A total of 1,032,623 USTC has been burned during the first 18 days of August, according to the latest available data.
August 14 recorded the highest daily burn at 130,306 USTC, while August 18 currently stands at 49,773 USTC. Since August 18 is still in progress, the final figure for the day may be higher.
The latest data highlights continued USTC burn activity throughout August and provides another measure of ongoing supply reduction within the Terra Classic ecosystem.
Over 1.4 Billion LUNC Burned in 17 Days as Burn Activity Remains Strong
More than 1.4 billion LUNC was burned during a 17 day period, according to the latest burn figures. The data shows continued burn activity across the Terra Classic ecosystem, with several days recording significant amounts of LUNC burned.
The total burn for the period reached approximately 1.47 billion LUNC.
Daily LUNC Burn Activity
Burn activity varied considerably from day to day. The largest daily burn was recorded on Day 1, with 306.83 million LUNC burned.
Day 17 also recorded a notable increase, with 151.54 million LUNC burned. Other significant daily burns included 164.02 million LUNC on Day 5 and 129.11 million LUNC on Day 6.

Burn Activity Remains Consistent
Although the daily figures fluctuated, LUNC burns continued throughout all 17 days. The data shows that burn activity was not concentrated around a single day, with multiple periods recording tens of millions of LUNC burned.
The combined total of approximately 1.47 billion LUNC burned during the period adds to the ongoing reduction of the LUNC supply.
What the Latest Burn Data Shows
The latest figures highlight continued participation in LUNC burning across the Terra Classic ecosystem. While daily burn amounts can vary depending on network activity and other factors, the 17 day data demonstrates sustained burn activity.
The highest daily figures came at the beginning and end of the period, while several days in between recorded burns ranging from approximately 29 million to 110 million LUNC.
With more than 1.4 billion LUNC burned in just 17 days, the latest figures provide another update on the ongoing Terra Classic burn activity.
Note: The figures above are based on the supplied 17 day burn data.
Luna Classic, known by its ticker $LUNC, remains one of the most closely watched community driven cryptocurrency projects in the Terra ecosystem.
For investors, the question in 2026 is no longer simply whether LUNC can recover from its previous collapse. The more important question is whether Terra Classic can rebuild utility, increase network activity, reduce supply, and create a stronger foundation for long term demand.
LUNC remains a highly speculative cryptocurrency, and there are no guarantees that its price will increase. However, several factors continue to support the investment thesis for investors who believe in the long term development of Terra Classic.
1. LUNC Has an Active Blockchain Ecosystem
LUNC remains the native token of the Terra Classic blockchain. It is used within the network for staking, governance, and other blockchain functions.
Terra Classic operates as a proof of stake blockchain, with validators responsible for securing the network and processing transactions. LUNC can be delegated to validators to participate in staking and earn network rewards.
This gives LUNC utility beyond simply holding the token for speculative purposes.
For an investment thesis to remain sustainable over time, token utility is important because demand can be supported by actual network participation rather than speculation alone.
2. LUNC Holders Can Participate in Governance
One of Terra Classic’s important characteristics is its community governance system.
Staked LUNC holders can participate in governance by voting on proposals that can influence the direction of the blockchain. The Terra Classic governance documentation describes a system in which community members submit proposals and staked holders participate in voting.
This means LUNC ownership can provide more than exposure to price movements. It can also provide participation in decisions affecting the network.
Active governance has remained visible throughout 2026, with proposals and discussions covering subjects such as network upgrades, interoperability, staking, developer initiatives, token supply and the future development of Terra Classic.
3. The LUNC Burn Narrative Remains Important
One of the biggest reasons investors continue watching LUNC is its long term supply reduction strategy.
Token burns permanently remove coins from circulation. In general, reducing supply can support scarcity when demand remains stable or increases. However, a burn by itself does not guarantee that a cryptocurrency will rise in value. Demand remains a critical part of the equation.
For LUNC, the long term investment thesis therefore depends on two factors working together:
Supply reduction and increasing demand.
If Terra Classic can increase network usage while continuing to remove LUNC from circulation, the supply dynamics could become increasingly relevant over the long term.
4. Terra Classic Continues to Develop in 2026
Another reason investors continue to monitor LUNC is the amount of development and community activity surrounding the network.
The Terra Classic Agora forum shows active discussions and proposals throughout 2026, including the Market Module 2.0, multi hop IBC routing, Hyperlane related initiatives, developer education, USTC development and other ecosystem proposals.
Not every proposal will succeed, and community proposals should not automatically be treated as confirmed developments. However, ongoing development demonstrates that the Terra Classic ecosystem remains active rather than abandoned.
For long term investors, continued development can be an important indicator of whether a blockchain still has the potential to attract users, developers and applications.
5. Staking Adds Utility to LUNC
LUNC can be staked with validators to help secure the Terra Classic network.
According to Terra Classic documentation, staking requires users to delegate Luna to validators, while validators participate in consensus and network security. Delegators can receive staking rewards in return for supporting the network.
Staking creates an additional reason to hold LUNC rather than simply trade it.
For investors with a long term approach, staking may also provide an opportunity to earn network rewards while maintaining exposure to the asset. However, staking does not eliminate the risk of the underlying token losing value.
6. The Risk and Reward Profile Is Different From Large Cryptocurrencies
LUNC is not comparable to Bitcoin or other established large capitalization cryptocurrencies from a risk perspective.
Its market structure, history and supply make it a significantly more speculative asset.
That is also why some investors are interested in it.
A relatively small cryptocurrency market capitalization can potentially produce large percentage changes during periods of increased demand. However, the reverse is also true. A decline in demand can produce substantial losses.
Investors should therefore focus on market capitalization rather than the number of zeros in the LUNC price.
A low token price does not automatically mean that an asset is undervalued.
7. LUNC Has a Large and Established Community
Community strength remains one of Terra Classic’s most distinctive characteristics.
Since the Terra ecosystem crisis, the future of Terra Classic has increasingly depended on community participation, governance, validators, developers and independent ecosystem contributors.
The continued activity visible through Terra Classic governance forums in 2026 suggests that a dedicated community remains involved in shaping the network’s direction.
A strong community cannot guarantee a successful cryptocurrency project, but it can contribute to development, liquidity, awareness and ecosystem growth.
8. The Real Investment Thesis Is Long Term Utility
The strongest reason to consider LUNC in 2026 should not be based solely on the hope that the token returns to a particular price.
A more realistic thesis is based on network development.
For LUNC to perform strongly over the long term, Terra Classic needs to continue building useful infrastructure, attract users, increase transaction activity, strengthen interoperability, maintain developer participation and create sustainable demand for the token.
At the same time, continued supply reduction could strengthen the scarcity side of the equation.
The combination is much more important than burns alone.
What Could Make the LUNC Investment Thesis Stronger?
The investment case for LUNC would become more compelling if Terra Classic can demonstrate measurable growth in several areas.
Higher on chain activity would indicate greater network usage.
More applications and developers could increase the utility of the blockchain.
Greater liquidity and broader exchange support could improve market accessibility.
Continued token burns could gradually reduce supply.
Successful governance and technical upgrades could improve the network’s competitiveness.
These are the metrics investors should watch rather than focusing only on short term price movements.
The Risks Investors Should Understand
Investing in LUNC carries significant risks.
The Terra ecosystem has a difficult history, and the recovery of Terra Classic is far from guaranteed. Competition among blockchain networks remains intense, and developing technology does not automatically translate into user adoption or token appreciation.
The largest risk is that network demand does not grow quickly enough to support the long term investment thesis.
Another important risk is the size of the LUNC supply. Even with ongoing burns, the supply remains substantial. This means extremely high price targets require correspondingly large market capitalization unless supply is reduced dramatically.
Investors should also remember that cryptocurrency markets can experience extreme volatility. LUNC can move sharply in either direction based on market sentiment, Bitcoin trends, liquidity, news and speculation.
Is Luna Classic a Good Investment in 2026?
Luna Classic could be an interesting speculative investment for investors who believe in the future of the Terra Classic ecosystem and understand the risks involved.
The case for LUNC in 2026 is based on several factors: an active blockchain, staking utility, community governance, ongoing development and the continued effort to reduce token supply.
However, these factors do not guarantee price appreciation.
The most important question is whether Terra Classic can transform continued community activity and development into sustainable real world network usage and demand for LUNC.
That is ultimately what will determine whether the long term investment thesis succeeds.
Final Thoughts
The 2026 LUNC investment story is not simply about hoping for a massive price recovery.
It is about whether Terra Classic can continue rebuilding itself through development, governance, ecosystem growth, staking participation and supply reduction.
For investors willing to accept substantial risk, LUNC represents a speculative bet on the potential revival and continued development of the Terra Classic network.
The opportunity is significant, but so is the risk.
Investors should conduct their own research, evaluate their risk tolerance, and avoid treating any LUNC price prediction as a guarantee of future performance.
USTC burn activity continued throughout the first two weeks of August, with nearly 1 million USTC burned between August 1 and August 14.
According to the latest figures, a total of 912,969 USTC was burned during this 14 day period.
USTC Burn Activity From August 1 to 14
The total burn of 912,969 USTC represents continued progress in reducing the amount of USTC in circulation.
From August 1 through August 14, the cumulative amount of USTC burned reached 912,969 USTC.
This puts the two week burn total close to the 1 million USTC milestone.
Why USTC Burns Matter
USTC burns reduce the overall supply of USTC by permanently removing tokens from circulation.
While the amount burned over a specific period can vary, tracking cumulative burns provides a way for the community to monitor ongoing supply reduction.
The latest figure shows that USTC burn activity remained active during the first half of August, with nearly 1 million USTC burned in just two weeks.
USTC Burn Total
Between August 1 and August 14:
Total USTC burned: 912,969 USTC
With the total approaching 1 million USTC, USTC burn activity remains an important metric for the Terra Classic community to track.
Further burn activity will determine how quickly the cumulative total continues to increase in the coming weeks.
Terra Classic recorded more than 1.2 billion LUNC in burns during the first two weeks of August 2026.
From August 1 through August 14, a total of 1,264,275,836 LUNC was burned. The figure represents continued reductions in the circulating supply of LUNC through various burn activities across the Terra Classic ecosystem.
The latest burn activity brings attention to the ongoing effort to reduce the large LUNC supply through permanent token removal.
More Than 1.26 Billion LUNC Burned
According to the reported burn data, Terra Classic recorded 1,264,275,836 LUNC burned between August 1 and August 14.
This averages approximately 90.3 million LUNC burned per day during the 14 day period.
Burns permanently remove LUNC from the available supply. Terra Classic’s burn tax system is one mechanism through which taxable transactions can contribute to burns, with the tax module routing the burn portion for permanent removal.
Why LUNC Burns Matter
LUNC has a large token supply, making supply reduction an important part of the Terra Classic community’s long term efforts.
Every LUNC that is permanently burned reduces the number of tokens remaining in circulation. However, the impact of burns should be considered alongside other factors such as network activity, transaction volume, demand and overall market conditions.
A higher burn rate means more LUNC is being removed from the supply over a given period. Sustained burn activity can therefore become an important metric for the Terra Classic ecosystem to monitor.
August Burn Activity Continues
The 1.26 billion LUNC burned from August 1 to August 14 shows that burn activity has remained active during the opening weeks of August.
While a two week figure does not determine the future burn rate, continued monitoring can provide a clearer picture of how burn activity develops throughout the month.
For the Terra Classic community, the latest figure represents another significant amount of LUNC permanently removed from the supply.
Key Takeaway
A total of 1,264,275,836 LUNC was burned from August 1 through August 14, 2026, taking the two week burn total above 1.2 billion LUNC.
The figure highlights the continued role of burn activity in reducing the Terra Classic token supply and remains an important metric for the LUNC ecosystem as August progresses.
LUNC and USTC Community Pool Reserve Proposal: What Are the Benefits If Passed?
A new Terra Classic governance proposal aims to establish reserve ceilings for the Community Pool at 7 billion LUNC and 60 million USTC.
The proposal does not immediately transfer any funds. Instead, it establishes a policy where the Community Pool would retain funds up to these levels, while eligible surplus above the ceilings could eventually be routed to the Oracle Pool through separate governance approved transfers and, later, automated software.
If passed and successfully implemented, the proposal could provide several benefits for the Terra Classic ecosystem.
1. A Large Community Reserve Would Remain Protected
One of the main benefits is that the Community Pool would continue to maintain a substantial reserve.
The proposed ceilings would retain 7 billion LUNC and 60 million USTC in the Community Pool. These funds would remain available for development, infrastructure, emergencies and other community approved spending.
At the proposal snapshot, the Community Pool held approximately 8.47 billion LUNC and 61.93 million USTC. This means most of the existing reserves would remain untouched.
This creates a balance between using excess reserves and maintaining financial flexibility for future needs.
2. The Oracle Pool Could Receive Additional Funding
The proposal’s main purpose is to address the different directions of the Community Pool and Oracle Pool.
While the Community Pool has grown significantly, the Oracle Pool has declined. Between August 2023 and August 2026, the Oracle Pool’s LUNC balance fell from approximately 192.14 billion to 39.27 billion, while its USTC balance declined from approximately 658.8 million to 124.86 million.
Routing eligible Community Pool surplus to the Oracle Pool would provide an additional source of reward inventory.
The transferred funds would not be distributed immediately. They would enter the Oracle Pool and be released gradually according to the existing Oracle reward system.
3. It Could Strengthen Oracle Participation
Oracle voting is an important function of Terra Classic because validators provide price information that the network uses.
The Oracle Pool provides rewards to qualifying validators that successfully participate in Oracle voting, with rewards also reaching their delegators.
Additional funding could therefore help maintain the reward inventory used to incentivize Oracle participation.
The proposal does not guarantee higher staking rewards or APR. However, its objective is to create a more sustainable source of Oracle reward funding when the Community Pool has reserves above the established ceilings.
4. The Policy Could Create a More Predictable Treasury System
Currently, the Community Pool does not have an on chain retained balance ceiling.
The proposal introduces a clearly defined boundary.
Below the ceiling, the Community Pool continues operating normally. Once the balance exceeds the ceiling, only the eligible surplus can be considered for routing to the Oracle Pool.
This gives the community a clearer framework for deciding how much treasury capital should remain available and when excess reserves can be redirected.
5. Future Automation Could Reduce Repeated Governance Votes
Initially, transfers would require separate governance proposals for LUNC and USTC.
However, the long term goal is to introduce software that can check the Community Pool periodically and automatically route eligible surplus according to governance approved limits.
This could reduce the need for repeated manual proposals whenever the Community Pool grows above its reserve ceiling.
The automation would still operate under governance controlled parameters, including individual asset ceilings and transfer limits.
6. The Proposal Does Not Change the LUNC Burn Tax
Another important point is what the proposal does not change.
It does not modify the current 1.5% burn tax, gas prices, tax parameters or exemptions. It also does not mint or burn LUNC or USTC.
The proposal is therefore focused specifically on how excess Community Pool reserves could be used.
7. The Initial Transfers Would Be Controlled
The proposal does not give an automatic transfer of the entire surplus.
Each initial LUNC and USTC transfer would require its own governance proposal, fresh balance calculations, safety buffers and technical checks.
For USTC, additional conditions must also be confirmed before a transfer can proceed.
This staged approach allows the community to review the actual amount being transferred before funds move.
What Could This Mean for Terra Classic?
If passed and implemented successfully, the proposal would create a system where the Community Pool can maintain a large reserve while excess funds can help support the Oracle reward system.
The key idea is not simply moving Community Pool funds. It is creating a long term framework:
Maintain a substantial treasury reserve, identify excess funds and use eligible surplus to strengthen Oracle rewards.
At the same time, the proposal keeps ordinary Community Pool spending under governance control and does not change the LUNC burn tax or total supply.
Conclusion
The potential benefit of the LUNC and USTC Community Pool Reserve proposal is a more structured approach to managing Terra Classic’s treasury reserves.
The proposed 7 billion LUNC and 60 million USTC ceilings would preserve a significant Community Pool reserve while creating a mechanism for eligible excess funds to support the Oracle Pool.
If the later manual transfers, software development and governance approvals are successfully completed, the system could provide a recurring and more automated way to strengthen Oracle reward funding without immediately using the Community Pool’s core reserves.
The proposal itself, however, does not transfer funds or activate automation. Those steps require separate governance and technical approvals.
Terra Classic Proposal Seeks to Set LUNC and USTC Community Pool Reserve Ceilings
A new governance proposal on Terra Classic has entered the voting stage, seeking to establish fixed reserve ceilings for the Community Pool and potentially redirect excess funds to the Oracle Pool.
The proposal would set the Community Pool reserve at 7 billion LUNC and 60 million USTC. Any balance above these levels could be transferred to the Oracle Pool through separate governance decisions.
Proposed Community Pool Reserve Limits
The proposal establishes two reserve ceilings:
Asset
Proposed Community Pool Ceiling
LUNC
7 billion
USTC
60 million
The purpose is to maintain a substantial reserve for future community needs while preventing the Community Pool from holding significantly more funds than the proposed target.
Community Pool Holds Funds Above the Proposed Limits
At the snapshot referenced by the proposal, the Community Pool held approximately 8.47 billion LUNC and 61.93 million USTC.
This means the balances were approximately:
1.47 billion LUNC above the proposed ceiling
1.93 million USTC above the proposed ceiling
These excess amounts could potentially become the subject of future transfers to the Oracle Pool.
The Proposal Does Not Automatically Transfer Funds
Passing the reserve ceiling proposal would not immediately move the excess LUNC or USTC.
Instead, the proposal would establish the policy for how much the Community Pool should retain.
Separate governance proposals would still be required to approve the initial transfers to the Oracle Pool.
The proposal also leaves open the possibility of implementing an automated mechanism in a future software upgrade.
Why Redirect Funds to the Oracle Pool?
The proposal comes as the Oracle Pool has experienced a significant decline in its LUNC balance.
The Oracle Pool plays an important role in Terra Classic by supporting rewards for validators and delegators participating in Oracle voting.
According to the proposal, the Oracle Pool’s LUNC balance declined from approximately 192 billion LUNC in 2023 to around 39 billion LUNC in 2026.
Redirecting excess Community Pool funds could therefore provide additional resources to the Oracle Pool and help support Oracle related rewards over time.
What Happens to the LUNC?
The proposed transfer would not burn LUNC.
Instead, excess LUNC held by the Community Pool would be moved to another pool within the Terra Classic ecosystem.
Once in the Oracle Pool, the funds could contribute to rewards for qualifying validators and their delegators participating in Oracle voting.
As a result, the proposal should be viewed as a fund allocation measure rather than a supply reduction mechanism.
What This Could Mean for Terra Classic
The proposal is designed to balance two objectives.
First, the Community Pool would continue to maintain a significant reserve of LUNC and USTC for future ecosystem needs.
Second, funds above the proposed reserve levels could be put to use supporting the Oracle Pool rather than remaining in the Community Pool.
If approved and followed by separate transfer proposals, the approach could shift excess community funds toward supporting Terra Classic’s Oracle infrastructure and its participants.
Key Takeaway
The new proposal seeks to establish 7 billion LUNC and 60 million USTC as the Community Pool reserve ceilings.
Based on the proposal’s snapshot, the Community Pool held approximately 1.47 billion LUNC and 1.93 million USTC above those proposed limits.
However, these funds would not be transferred automatically if the proposal passes. Separate governance approval would be required for the transfers.
Ultimately, the proposal is focused on how Terra Classic manages its existing community reserves, with the potential to redirect excess funds toward the Oracle Pool and strengthen its reward system.
