LUNC Chain Update: Tax2Gas to Impact NFT Marketplaces
The upcoming LUNC chain update, which will introduce a significant change to the tax2gas mechanism, is set to have a profound impact on the NFT marketplace. The new system will shift the tax burden entirely to the contract executor, regardless of whether they are the recipient or sender of funds.

How the New Tax System Works
Under the current system, taxes are typically deducted from the sent funds during transactions. However, the new tax2gas implementation will enforce a different approach.
- Bid Placement: The bidder will pay the tax for placing a bid.
- Bid Withdrawal: The bidder will continue to pay the tax for withdrawing their bid.
- Bid Denial: The NFT owner, as the contract executor, will be responsible for paying the tax on the refunded amount.
- Bid Acceptance: The NFT owner will bear the tax burden for all pending bids that need to be refunded.
This change can have substantial implications, especially for NFTs with multiple bids. Accepting a higher bid while there are several lower pending bids could result in a significant tax payment for the NFT owner.
Additional Tax Implications
The update will also require NFT holders to maintain a sufficient LUNC balance in their wallets to cover potential tax liabilities. Even actions like withdrawing staking rewards or bidding on NFTs will necessitate having enough LUNC to cover the associated taxes.

Broader Implications for P2P Markets
The potential consequences of this tax change extend beyond the NFT marketplace. Any peer-to-peer (P2P) platform that involves bidding or scenarios where the contract executor is not the direct recipient or sender of funds could be affected.
Community Concerns and Adaptations
The LUNC community has expressed concerns about the potential impact of this update on NFT marketplaces and other P2P platforms. Marketplaces may need to adjust their fee structures or bidding mechanisms to accommodate the new tax system.
NFT holders should also be aware of the increased tax burden and plan accordingly. It is essential to monitor the implementation of the tax2gas update closely and make necessary adjustments to trading strategies.
As the LUNC chain continues to evolve, the community must stay informed about such changes and their potential consequences.
