This burning mechanism aims to reduce the overall supply of LUNC, potentially leading to increased scarcity and a subsequent rise in price. The Terra Luna Classic community has heavily advocated for such measures following the dramatic crash of the original Luna token earlier in 2023.

The burn process involves sending LUNC tokens to an inaccessible wallet address, effectively taking them out of circulation. Binance collects a portion of trading fees on LUNC transactions and allocates them for burning, demonstrating their commitment to supporting the revival of Terra Luna Classic.
This development comes amidst ongoing efforts to rebuild trust and value within the Terra Luna Classic ecosystem. While the long-term impact remains to be seen, the community seems optimistic about Binance’s continued support and the potential for LUNC’s price to recover.
