full version at coingape

Terra Luna Classic community members contemplate raising the burn tax from 0.5% to 1.5% amid the burn tax distribution and Tax2Burn proposal. The community remains divided on the proposal to increase the on-chain tax rate, fearing crypto exchange Binance may suspend the LUNC burn mechanism.

Terra Luna Classic Proposes To Revise On-Chain Tax to 1.5%

Terra Classic validator JesusisLord proposed increasing the on-chain tax rate from 0.5% to 1.5%. The validator also suggests keeping the burn tax unchanged until a total supply target of 10 billion LUNC is reached. This is similar to the community’s initial target set during the burn tax mechanism incorporation.

The 0.5% LUNC burn tax is currently split into 80% and 20%, with the 20% breakdown as — 10% to the community pool and 10% to the oracle pool. With the v3.1.3 upgrade for tax burn distribution successfully implemented, oracle pool will get 10% of the burn tax.

If the tax is increased to 1.5%, it will increase the burn tax to 1.2% from the current 0.4%. Also, it will increase the contribution to the community pool and the oracle pool, making all components boost by three times.

“We can expect a substantial increase in the rate of LUNC and USTC burns from the tax, the community pool funding rate, and funding to the oracle pool for long-term staking rewards,” said the Terra Luna Classic validator.

Notably, this proposal will not proceed for governance voting unless Tax2Gas is successfully implemented on-chain. Core developer Genuine Labs expects the Tax2Gas to go live in August.
