Hi everyone, I assume most of the community has seen the news of the SEC charging Do Kwon and TFL with f-raud.
As a member of the LUNC community, though independent as a blockchain from TFL and LUNA V2, we are presently reliant on their infrastructure, and from Jared_TFL’s estimates from an AMA, from what I remember, was about $1M in monthly server costs they cover for us (about 6B LUNC worth per month). They said it could be significantly cheaper but rather was around the costs they were incurring. I don’t know of other cost estimates to run LUNC’s infrastructure at a more cost efficient level.
Whether you agree with the particular team or not, having independence in infrastructure from TFL may soon not be a luxury, but a requirement. Having TFL being involved in USA SEC legal proceedings could cause big problems to their financing and safe operation, possibly putting our infrastructure at risk.
Basically with the current LUNC community pool funding rate of gas fees only, we are looking at around 6.2-7M gain in LUNC per day (with USTC included) or about 210M per month. With a 50/50 split of 0.2% tax (which is likely to pass), we have about 25M per day so 750M per month. A total combined of around 960M per month.
It looks like we need more than this.
If we raised the burn tax to 0.8% we could have a 75/25% split which would bring 0.6% burn 0.2% CP or about 50M per day or 1.5B per month funding, plus gas is 1.71B per month.
If we kept the 50/50% split and raised the burn tax to 0.8% we would be looking at 0.4% rate for CP, or about 100M per day, 3B per month, with gas 3.21B per month total.
We might need to be seriously considering some higher funding rates soon.
Now these figures are subject to change as if LUNC went up in value the amount of LUNC needed to cover costs would be less, and volumes can also change during a price rise resulting in more coming into the community pool.
I’m interested to hear your thoughts on this matter. Regards, Christopher.
