LUNC · the staking mint still outpaces the burn.
LUNC is the coin of Terra Classic, the community-run chain that outlived the 2022 collapse — ~5.53 trillion circulating, with no supply cap, where new coins are minted for stakers faster than the network burns them.
Sell pressure. A staking-reward mint issues ~95B LUNC over the next 90 days at roughly 7% yearly inflation.
Buy pressure. An on-chain 0.5% burn tax plus exchange burns remove about 12B LUNC over the same period.
Net. About +1.5% to market over 90 days — supply heading up as the mint stays ahead of the burn.

New LUNC is minted every block and paid to validators and stakers at roughly 7% a year — about 95B over the next 90 days. This staking-reward mint is the single largest force on supply.
There is no active team, seed or investor vesting schedule — the original allocations were distributed years before the 2022 collapse, so no cliff reaches the market.
The chain is fully community-governed with no central team or foundation treasury releasing coins to the market — monitored.
No court-ordered LUNC distribution reaches the open market in this window; the estate from the original collapse does not add new LUNC float here — monitored.
There is no protocol-run buyback that spends revenue buying LUNC on the open market — the network removes supply only by burning, shown below.
An on-chain tax burns a slice of every transaction — about 5.5B LUNC over 90 days at recent activity, destroyed permanently. This is the chain's built-in supply sink.
No discretionary open-market buying by any team or treasury — the chain has no central operator — monitored.
No new multi-year lock or escrow that would take LUNC off the market was announced in the window — monitored.
Large exchanges voluntarily burn the LUNC they collect in trading fees — a leading exchange burned about 2.2B in June — adding roughly 6.5B over 90 days across the monthly burns.
