New Economic Policy for Terra Classic: Set of 4 Proposals to Align Incentives

Thanks for your feedback @MarkMcDonnell

When you say these projects will burn 1 Billion daily, could you show some on-chain transactions to justify these claims?

For example, this single staking transaction (MsgDelegate) has generated 1.48M LUNC in fees: Terra Finder

Likewise, this single wallet to wallet transfer (MsgSend) has generated 17.9K LUNC in fees: Terra Finder

A sample contract execution transaction (MsgContractExecute) has generated 19.7 LUNC in fees: Terra Finder

Could you present some transactions to prove otherwise that the contracts from these projects that you have mentioned are indeed generating high fees?

When tax vurn was reduced from 1.2% to 0.2% was done based on some “machine learning” charts showing that volune will go to the moon. We all know ot never happened.I am very skeptical LUNC will “easily” burn 1 billiion per day (we are waiting for long time for this to happen). If indeed some super nega extra dapps want to come to this chain they will be whitelisted (part of the current proposals). Some people are acting like LUNC is top 10 chain and everybody wants to build on it but reality is totally different (marketcap ranking shows it). Few people are willing to build on a chain going into oblivion. For now LUNC is hyperinflated and burning efforts along with utility should be main focus. All these 4 props are a good conpeomise

Agree,but:

  1. 0.5 percent is too less to cause dent in supply,we need 1.2 percent.

2.Majority volume is on CEX,I dont understand why any of the proposers never signal giving CEX a small % should they adopt burn tax on ALL BUY/SELL/CONVERT transactions.

I don’t care of we are burning 100 billion a day. Any and all burns will help.

Yes we need utility too. But this covers the apps.

We need a balance

It’s been 9 days since my last comment, since the lunc price has dropped by about 20%-30% and the value of the community pool has dropped by the same. New projects if they are under construction. Terraport doesn’t work until now. Even if it works in the future, people will only come for their money. No sane person would invest in it. If the price drops continue at the current level, we may have serious financial problems. Raising the tax to 0.5 is still competitive and would attract small investors. This would also solve the community pool issue. Still YES to all 4 proposals.

I totally agree with you but 0.5 is better than 0.2. there were some attempts to raise the tax back to 1.2 but those props were voted down unfortunately.

Yea. A shocker. We are in deep bear market. Have you seen the other chains?

Gladly, I use stakebin for overall daily burn amount but go to each individual burner to verify on places like lunc.tech or lunc dash for individual checks of transactions, burning is accelletaring from 20 million per day into the hundreds of millions per day right now!

Thanks for this information. I’ll try to integrate it into a single interface in the dashboard I am making.

Will try to put the price vs the circulation so that we get a better picture.

The acceleration is not positive. Lot of volumes now because price is crashing. Lots of traders getting out of their positions so it makes sense to see an increase of volumes and burns

@MarkMcDonnell Yes, burning does seem to accelerate, but it is likely that the additional burns are caused by an increase in volatility and not so much by dapp volume.

Even if we were to assume projects like DFLunc as a factor in the additional burns, here is the smart contract address for the CW20 DFC token: Terra Finder

A preliminary analysis of 1 hour sample data reveals that approximately ~164,000 Lunc was burned in an hour by DFCLunc. Extrapolating this to 24 hours implies a burn of just ~4 Million LUNC in 24 hours - which is quite insignificant (less than 5% of the total burns).

Would love to see some on-chain data proving otherwise.

Alot more burning can be done with efficient burn mechanism at lower prices, you could burn 15% more easily with simple algorithm at 0.2%, current burn mechanism is inefficient. Ths is being emplyed on other blockchains.

Fuel consumption is worse than pathetic and 15% won’t please anyone. There will still be issues with the community pool. LUNC is about to go bankrupt. There is currently $83,500 in the community pool, which is not even enough to pay L1. Development has practically stopped. I don’t know if you realize how serious the situation is.

Accept this proposal so that we don’t go bankrupt and then come up with whatever you want. But protect LUNC from insolvency. I ask you to. What do you think will happen in 2 months? At this rate, MAYBE we’ll raise money for L1 ONLY and wipe the community pools down to 0.

Burns are important but right now at lower levels boosting coins in OP and CP is important as if the price can rise we can bank some good coins now wait for the price to go up.

Edward Kim already addresses this. CP amount will go into exponential decline and never be empty, calculations have already been done on this matter.

That’s the Oracle Pool, not the Community Pool. And just because it won’t hit 0 doesn’t meant it’s not a problem - the OP rewards will get to a point where validators won’t have a financial incentive to keep their nodes open. Once that happens most will shut down and leave. This is a problem no one talks about or wants to address, despite it being an existential issue for the chain itself.

Why is it now impossible to see the voting results for validators from all stations? How can we observe the progress of the voting now?

@petes-fan-club is already shutting down his node.

I don’t know how Edward Kim counted it. This cannot be counted. Hypothetical situation. The LUNC price is ~ constant for 2 months. Suddenly in the 3rd in the 2nd half the price suddenly drops 30% like this week. Everything that was received and was in CP is worth 30% less. We will not make up for this loss in time. That’s why you need a safety airbag. I don’t know what Edward Kim’s assumptions were, maybe he assumed the price would hold ~constantly, and then that’s correct. But the reality has proved different price is falling and may continue to fall for a long time. It will never be completely empty, but the money will be definitely not enough, for example, in 2 months it will be $90,000 and then what will we do?
