For many, LUNC isn’t a bet on “likely growth” but on a rare, disproportionately large outcome driven by:
— supply reduction: As of early January 2026, over 436 billion LUNC tokens have been burned since the May 2022 crash. This represents approximately 6.7% of the initial supply after the collapse.
— infrastructure upgrades:
Version 3.6.1 Network Upgrade: This upgrade was recently voted on by the community and was scheduled to occur at block height 26,479,000, around December 18, 2025. The primary goal of v3.6.1 is to fix legacy contracts and update dependency versions, improving overall security, stability, and CosmWasm smart contract capabilities.
Version 3.5.0 Network Upgrade: This significant upgrade went live on August 15, 2025. Key advancements included:Reactivation of the Market Module: This feature aims to restore and strengthen the connection between LUNC and USTC.
Integration of Cosmos SDK 50.13: The update was intended to modernize the network's core infrastructure.
Version 3.4.0 Launch: Launched in February 2025, this upgrade enhanced system performance, transaction speed, and network security through updates to CometBFT and Wasmvm.
— exchange support:
Binance : Widely considered the most popular exchange for LUNC trading, with a high trading volume for the LUNC/USDT pair. Binance also confirms support for LUNC network upgrades.
#OKX : OKX actively supports LUNC trading and occasionally lists new pairs or staking options.
#MEXC : MEXC offers LUNC trading and has previously implemented time-limited burn events for spot trading fees to support the community's tax burn proposal.
— a shift in narrative:
The narrative surrounding Terra Luna Classic (LUNC), the original chain after the Terra ecosystem's 2022 collapse, has shifted from a story of systemic failure to one of community-driven revival, resilience, and a "comeback" narrative.
