How Long It Would Take to Burn 6 Trillion LUNC Based on Current Burn Rates
This analysis reviews how long it may take to burn six trillion LUNC using simple historical averages from May 13, 2022 to November 25, 2025.
The timeline is evaluated under two scenarios. Scenario 1 includes all burns, including tokens previously held by Terra Form Labs. Scenario 2 excludes TFL burns to provide a purely community driven estimate.
Scenario 1: Including All Burns (Community + TFL)
| Time measured | 1,292 days |
|---|---|
| Total LUNC burned | 425,545,003,128 |
| Average daily burn | 329,369,197 LUNC/day |
| Remaining supply to reach 6T | 6,056,199,605,332 |
| Estimated days required | 18,387 days |
| Estimated years | 50.35 years |
| Estimated months | 4.2 months |
Key Calculations
| Daily burn rate | 425,545,003,128 ÷ 1,292 = 329,369,197 |
|---|---|
| Remaining supply | 6,481,744,608,460 − 425,545,003,128 = 6,056,199,605,332 |
| Days needed | 6,056,199,605,332 ÷ 329,369,197 = 18,387 |
| Years | 18,387 ÷ 365 = 50.35 |
| Months | 0.35 × 12 = 4.2 |
Scenario 1 Result: At the current average burn rate of 329 million LUNC per day, burning the remaining supply needed to reach six trillion would take about 50 years and 4 months.
Scenario 2: Community Burns Only (Excluding TFL)
| Time measured | 1,292 days |
|---|---|
| Total LUNC burned | 175,937,603,739 |
| Average daily burn | 136,174,616 LUNC/day |
| Target to burn | 6,000,000,000,000 |
| Estimated days required | 44,061 days |
| Estimated years | 120.7 years |
| Estimated months | 1,468.7 months |
Key Calculations
| Daily burn rate | 175,937,603,739 ÷ 1,292 = 136,174,616 |
|---|---|
| Days needed | 6,000,000,000,000 ÷ 136,174,616 = 44,061 |
| Years | 44,061 ÷ 365 = 120.7 |
| Months | 44,061 ÷ 30 = 1,468.7 |
Scenario 2 Result: At an average burn rate of 136 million LUNC per day, burning six trillion LUNC would take approximately 120 years.
Conclusion
These projections are based on simple historical averages. Future outcomes can change depending on network activity, new utilities, exchange participation, or adjustments to burn mechanisms. Under current conditions:
- Including TFL burns results in an estimated 50 year timeline.
- Excluding TFL burns results in an estimated 120 year timeline.
These calculations offer a baseline view of long term supply reduction in the Terra Classic ecosystem.
