Yesterday, several people in the Terra Luna Classic (LUNC) community voiced bewilderment after noticing a green candle appear on StakeBin, a website that allows users to follow the supply of LUNC.
Some people in the community were shocked to learn from the candle that the chain had approximately 200 million LUNC minted.

As a result, the Terra Rebels, a separate group of programmers who maintain the Terra Classic network, have had to specify that the newly created LUNC is the result of the community’s acceptance of proposal 5234. Notably, core developer Tobias Andersen AKA Zaradar published a passage from an essay written by fellow core developer Edward Kim in which he forewarned the community not to be taken aback when they saw a green candle on the chart.
On October 17, the community approved Proposal 5234, which cut the on-chain burn fee from 1.2% to 0.2%. Additionally, it reserves 10% of the burn after each LUNC chain epoch (about seven days) for the community pool in order to support network development. This 10% needed from the overall burn is minted and delivered to the community pool, as Kim noted in the Medium blog post explaining his choice to support the proposal during the governance vote process.
The initial astonishment was increased by the fact that several community members were not aware that the proposal would collect seigniorage on all burns, not just the burn resulting from the on-chain fee. Although Kim’s article does a fantastic job of collecting this information, several community members don’t seem to agree that it is true. Some people, according to comments, think that the Binance burn and any other volunteer fires started by members of the community and supporters should be prohibited.

ReXx of the Terra Rebels, in particular, has already offered a straightforward solution to the issue, stating that the neighborhood can propose to take the difference out of the community pool and send it to the burn address.
It is important to remember that the community approved proposal 5234 in the hopes of gaining back lost on-chain volume and accelerating LUNC Burns. Sadly, It’s revealed that while on-chain volume has increased, the rate of burns from the on-chain fee has drastically decreased.
