The Terra Luna Classic (LUNC) community is beginning to explore potential changes to its current staking model, as there is growing sentiment that the existing structure might be hindering broader adoption. As indicated by the well-known LUNC advocate, the Crypto News Portal on X, the existing staking model, which requires users to wait 21 days before being able to withdraw staked tokens, could be a significant limitation. The platform has raised a proposal to revise this model, suggesting a possible reduction in the waiting period for withdrawals to encourage more participation in the staking process.

Terra Luna Classic Staking Model and Proposed Adjustments
According to a post by Crypto News Portal on X, users who stake their LUNC tokens currently face a mandatory 21-day waiting period before they can withdraw any staked tokens. This period has been highlighted as a barrier, particularly when it comes to attracting new users and encouraging further adoption of LUNC staking. At the moment, there are approximately 1 trillion LUNC tokens staked, which is a substantial portion of the 5.44 trillion LUNC tokens in circulation.
The platform argues that the current waiting period is too restrictive and could discourage potential stakers from participating in the LUNC staking ecosystem. To address this, the proposal suggests reducing the 21-day waiting period to more reasonable levels, though specific time frames for this “reasonable” period have not been defined. This proposal was directed at the broader Terra Luna Classic community, and reactions have been mixed. Many users are in favor of adjusting the waiting period, while others are cautious about making changes to a system that has functioned in its current form for some time.
However, some community members, such as an X user named Vivid BNB, argue that patience is a critical element of the LUNC ecosystem. They suggest that although the staking period may seem lengthy, it doesn’t necessarily mean that stakers won’t achieve their financial goals in the long run. This perspective emphasizes the importance of maintaining the current model as a stabilizing force for the network.
Other Developments in the Terra Luna Classic Ecosystem
Beyond the discussions surrounding staking, the Terra Luna Classic ecosystem has been in the spotlight for several other noteworthy developments. As previously reported by CoinGape, the Terra Luna Classic community has successfully burned a significant amount of tokens—405 billion LUNC—since the project’s inception. In addition, over 3 billion USTC (the algorithmic stablecoin associated with Terra) has been removed from circulation in an effort to decrease supply and increase the token’s scarcity.
These burn efforts are part of the broader community initiative to reduce the overall supply of Terra Luna Classic, thereby enhancing its potential value. Major contributions have come from various community members, including the prominent cryptocurrency exchange Binance, which recently burned an additional 400 billion LUNC tokens. These actions are viewed as key steps in the long-term strategy to restore Terra Luna Classic’s value and increase the potential for price appreciation, particularly as the ecosystem works towards re-pegging USTC to the dollar.
LUNC Price Performance and Market Outlook
Since the start of the week, Terra Luna Classic has shown some interesting price action, although it has given up some of its gains. As of the latest data, LUNC is trading at $0.00005957, down by 7.13% in the past 24 hours. Similarly, USTC has also seen a decline of 3.84%, trading at $0.01188. This recent drop in prices mirrors the broader market trends, with both LUNC and USTC seeing losses in the wake of a significant Bitcoin market crash.
Despite the price drawdown, there is still a sense of optimism within the Terra Luna Classic ecosystem. Proponents, particularly those behind the Crypto News Portal, remain confident that implementing changes such as a revised staking model could provide the stability and long-term support needed for the project to thrive. Many believe that these changes could help foster a more active community, encouraging increased participation in staking and burning, which could, in turn, support the token’s value in the near term. The future of Terra Luna Classic hinges on both technical adjustments and continued efforts to stabilize and grow the ecosystem.
