In a groundbreaking move, the Terra Luna Classic community has officially approved a proposal to burn a staggering 800 million USTC tokens. This proposal, initiated by the esteemed LUNC community member, Vegas, suggests blacklisting the Ozone Protocol wallet that holds these tokens, effectively freezing them instead of destroying them outright.

The Terra Luna Classic Community Passes 800 Million USTC Burn Proposal

Proposal 11832, titled "Proposal to blacklist wallet TERRA1QYW695VAXJ7JL6S4U564C6XKFE59KERCG0H88W," successfully achieved the "pass threshold" following a resounding "Yes" vote by the top validator, Allnodes. The proposal garnered a 54.07% majority in favor, with 30.51% opposing it, and a further 13.39% expressing dissent with a veto, while 2.03% abstained from voting. The community is currently grappling with the implications of freezing the wallet, as this could potentially result in a significant delay in the token burn process.

Of the 52 validators that participated in the voting process, an equal number, 21, favored and opposed the proposal, while some, including notable validators like Hexxagon, LuncLive, LuncGoblins, and Solidvote, chose to abstain from voting due to the proposal's significance.

Previously, the community had passed proposals aimed at persuading wallet owners to either transfer their USTC tokens to the community pool or burn them directly. Unfortunately, these diplomatic approaches failed, and the L1 development team is now poised to implement the blacklisting process.

The implications of this price movement are closely watched within the Terra Luna Classic community, given the significance of the USTC repeg.

(FAQs)

1. What does it mean to "burn" tokens in the cryptocurrency context?

Burning tokens refers to the deliberate and permanent removal of a certain number of tokens from circulation, reducing the overall supply. This can have implications on the token's value and ecosystem.

2. How does the blacklisting of a wallet affect the tokens it holds?

When a wallet is blacklisted, the tokens within it are effectively frozen and cannot be used or transferred. The tokens remain in the wallet but are rendered unusable.

3. Why did some validators choose to abstain from voting on the proposal?

Validators may abstain from voting on significant proposals when they are unsure about the implications or when the decision is particularly divisive. Abstaining ensures neutrality.
