The LUNC price has continued to consolidate this week as fans brace for a major 410 billion token burn milestone. Terra Luna Classic was trading at $0.000061 on Friday, a few points below the weekly high of $0.000073. It has dropped by 64% from its highest point in December of last year.

Terra Luna Classic Token Burn Nears 410 Billion Milestone
Third-party data shows that over 409.4 billion Terra Luna Classic have been burned since inception. Since the weekly token burn is rising by over 304 million a week, the figure will cross the psychologically important 410 billion milestone either this month or in June.

A token burn occurs when tokens are moved into an inaccessible address. The goal is usually to reduce the number of tokens in circulation and make the network deflationary. These burns also help boost holder value, especially in projects with staking features.

The biggest LUNC burner was Terraform Labs, which has incinerated over 249 billion tokens since its inception. Most of these burns occurred during the bankruptcy process in 2024.

Binance has also been a major LUNC burner, incinerating over 72 billion. It does this by incinerating part of the fees that it collects monthly from the project. The other top burners are DFLUNC Protocol, LunaticsToken, and MEXC.

Terra Luna Classic is what remains of the popular Terra Protocol, which collapsed in 2022 after its algorithmic stablecoin lost its peg, resulting in losses of over $40 billion for investors. After this collapse, LUNC became a community project as the team migrated to Terra 2.0.
