The community of Terra Classic (LUNC) brought a 1.2% tax burn proposal dubbed as 1.2% Tax Parameter Change itself. The proposal stated the taxes to charge and burn against on-chain activities like transfers of LUNC and USTC across crypto wallets and different smart contracts.
The proposal anticipated to turn LUNC into a deflationary crypto asset. It is scheduled to receive votes until September 10th, 2022. Then it is expected to initiate by September 20th, after getting passed by TerraForm Labs.
Preparation for the possibility of rejection of proposal is also on the way where Terra rebels would unofficially create a website and app for desktop and mobile. These platforms would be enabled to burn the tax in case TFL does not agree with the proposal.
Widespread Support for Proposal
Prominent crypto asset exchanges KuCoin and Gate.io came in support of Terra Classic’s (LUNC) community. On September 7th, 2022, KuCoin announced the official support for the community’s tax burn proposal.
