Terra Classic
Crypto Overview
Overview
Terra Classic (LUNC) is the original Terra blockchain that existed before the May 2022 collapse of the Terra/LUNA ecosystem. After the collapse, the original chain was renamed to Terra Classic, while a new chain (LUNA) was created. LUNC continues to operate independently with its own community and development efforts.
Purpose and Utility
Originally, Terra Classic was designed as a dual-token system with LUNC (formerly LUNA) working alongside the UST stablecoin. The primary utility was to serve as a governance token and stabilization mechanism for the UST stablecoin. After the collapse and separation from the new Terra chain, LUNC's current utility includes governance of the Terra Classic blockchain, staking for network security, and serving as a medium of exchange.
Business Model and Development
The current Terra Classic ecosystem is maintained by community developers and validators. The project has implemented several changes including a 1.2% tax burn on all on-chain transactions to reduce supply, staking mechanisms, and governance proposals. The development activity is primarily community-driven, with various improvement proposals being implemented.
Real-World Adoption
The network maintains active users and validators, though at a significantly reduced scale compared to its pre-collapse state. The primary usage currently centers around trading, staking, and governance participation. Several exchanges continue to support LUNC trading and staking.
Token Distribution
The token distribution was significantly affected by the collapse and subsequent hyperinflation event. Current distribution is more decentralized due to the original team's departure to the new Terra chain. The project is now community-owned and operated.
