Terra Classic new project DFLunc, gaining popularity for its massive LUNC burn mechanism, has burned almost 2 billion LUNC tokens in two weeks. The DeFi protocol was launched in April to deflate LUNC circulating supply more rapidly by burning billions of tokens. With the massive LUNC burn by the protocol, the total LUNC burn surpassed 57.8 billion.
DFLunc Burns 2 Billion Terra Classic Tokens
Binance burned 1.27 billion LUNC as part of its monthly LUNC burn mechanism on May 1. Until now, Binance has burned 31.83 billion LUNC tokens.
DFLunc on May 12 shared on Twitter that it has burned over 1.6 billion LUNC, overtaking Binance’s 1.27 LUNC burn. The Terra Classic community burned almost 2 billion LUNC through DFLunc Protocol as it begins to attract attention. The DeFi protocol consists of multiple smart contracts to deflate LUNC supply through a continuous burn mechanism.
DFLunc Protocol is also a validator for Terra Classic that allows users to mint its DFC token only by burning LUNC tokens. It utilizes two smart contracts based on CosmWasm — DFLunc and CW20-DFC. Users burn LUNC by paying USTC as protocol fees to mint DFC tokens. Staking more through the validator burns more LUNC by the DeFi protocol.
The protocol has divided its plan into different stages that ultimately aimed toward the growth of its validator on the Terra Classic chain.
As per the transactions seen by CoinGape Media, the protocol is still burning LUNC through its contact address. The total burn by the community has now reached 57.8 billion LUNC tokens.
