The Terra Classic community is preparing for a supply shock that
the LUNC coin could soon face. This is based on a court settlement
that has mandated Terraform Labs to burn the tokens in their
possession. Court Orders LUNC Burn As Part Of Terraform Labs
Settlement Terraform Labs is set to carry out LUNC burns as part of
its $4.5 billion settlement with the US Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC). These burns must be carried out before the end of
this month, or Terraform Labs will have to pay a fine. According to
the SEC, the crypto firm must burn or destroy private keys in its
possession of wallets holding these LUNC coins. Related

Could Reach $230,000 If It Follows This Structural Path Based on
the deadline, the LUNC burn may occur this week. Ahead of the burn,
Terra Classic community members have also been told to withdraw
their assets locked on the Shuttle Bridge, as it will also be
closed during the LUNC burn and never be opened again.
Terraform Lab’s imminent LUNC burn is undoubtedly a positive for
the coin, as this could provide much-needed bullish momentum and
lead to a significant price surge. Moreover, this aligns with the
Terra Classic community’s mission to remove as many coins as
possible from circulation to revive LUNC. They believe this
deflationary mechanism could help send the coin back to its current
all-time high (ATH) of $119. LUNC Metrics data shows that 135.54
billion coins have been burned since these token burns began on May
13, 2022. Meanwhile, 303.6 million coins have been burnt in the
last seven days. However, the community still has a lot of work to
do, considering that LUNC still has a circulating supply of 6.76
trillion. Other Steps Taken By The Terra Classic Community In
addition to LUNC burns, the Terra Classic community has taken other
steps to help revive the coin and restore it to its glory days.
This includes developing proposals to improve the LUNC ecosystem
and promote the coin’s adoption. The most recent proposal is
from OrbitLabs to remove the forked mainline modules from the Terra
Classic blockchain. The proposal states that this will help improve
maintainability, reduce technical debt, and align with the broader
Cosmos ecosystem. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Breaks Out
Of Symmetrical Triangle, Next Stop $3,400? OrbitLabs further
highlighted the current situation in the LUNC ecosystem to show why
this proposal is necessary. According to them, the Terra Classic
codebase uses several forked versions of Cosmos modules to
accommodate its unique features. This has led to the codebase
diverging from the upstream modules and increasing maintenance
costs. Therefore, this new approach will help ensure that the
Terra Classic blockchain is current with the latest securities and
features from the Cosmos development team. This will help massively
reduce maintenance costs and time. At the time of writing,
LUNC is trading at around $0.0000925, down over 2% in the last 24
hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image
