Do Kwon posts burn address for LUNA and warns investors

 


The Terra revival plan recently announced by Do Kwon , the co-founder and CEO of Terraform Labs, has met with mixed reactions as many doubt that a hard fork will restore the plummeting prices of Terra ( LUNA ) and TerraUSD (UST). heats up. Instead, many in the community have advocated burning LUNA as the most plausible way to get prices back up.


Kwon's proposal to preserve the Terra ecosystem involves separating the current Terra blockchain from the algorithmic stablecoin and distributing a new version of the LUNA tokens to investors. The distribution is based on the stocks before the death spiral. However , several crypto entrepreneurs including Changpeng "CZ" Zhao don't think it's a good idea:


"Supply should be reduced by burning and not a hard fork. That would let down everyone who was trying to save the coin."

In response to repeated requests from the crypto community, Kwon publicly posted a burn address for LUNA on Saturday. All LUNA tokens sent to this address will be burned immediately. This is intended to effectively reduce the LUNA supply in circulation.



Two days after announcing the LUNA burn address, Kwon has reiterated that reducing the LUNA supply outstanding would have no impact on the price. He explained: "Nothing happens except that you lose your tokens."


The Terra co-founder clarified that the burn address was given to users for informational purposes only. He warned against using them:


"I'm happy to provide them for informational purposes, but I want to make it clear that you shouldn't burn tokens unless you know exactly what you're doing. Personally, I don't understand."

However, the release of the address created further confusion among investors. As Cointelegraph previously reported, investors are viewing LUNA's high volatility as a lucrative opportunity . Many try to recoup their losses and make profitable trades.


Kwon had previously confirmed that Terra was no longer coining new LUNA. That's one of the main reasons investors believe that a combustion mechanism would push LUNA's price back up. Because incineration would make the supply scarcer.


With no clear solution in sight, investors are generally advised not to make ill-considered financial decisions. The revival of Terra is still a matter of public debate.


Due to the collapse of Terra, numerous projects now want to migrate to other blockchain ecosystems so as not to be further affected themselves. The Near Foundation has also supported the migration of projects and recently included Tracer, a Web3 fitness and lifestyle app.


Speaking to Cointelegraph, Near Foundation's Nicky Chalabi emphasized that projects like Tracer can seek to identify with the ecosystem's core values. Also commented:


"Projects must represent the interests of their community and their users, because that is ultimately the most valuable thing you have."

Chalabi also advised Terra projects to only move to blockchains that represent the interests of their users and communities: "That can actually determine your success."

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

  Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin

MSP Recovery and Tokenology aim to optimize healthcare with the help of Polygon

  MSP Recovery LLC, a Miami, US-based healthcare provider with an estimated enterprise value of $32.6 billion, is partnering with Web3 company Tokenology to jointly launch a new blockchain platform called Lifechain. Lifechain wants to leverage the verifiable and transparent nature of blockchain technology to aggregate medical care claims, medical expense reports and patient data and streamline their processing. For this purpose, MSP Recovery launched its own LifeWallet in January, which already has 1 million users. In addition to the wallet and blockchain platform, an associated crypto token called LifeCoin is also used. The press release explains that the primary purpose of the system is to enable secondary healthcare providers to more effectively bill health insurance companies for their costs. “The number of medical claims tokenized going forward will surpass $50 million per day by 2024. For this we need scalability, security and sustainability, which we have only found with Polygon

Phishing attack on popular crypto sites tries to empty wallets

  Several major crypto sites such as Etherscan, CoinGecko, DeFi Pulse, and others report malicious pop-ups scammers use to try to trick users into connecting their MetaMask wallets. The phishing attack came from a domain displaying the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) logo. "We are investigating the root cause of this attack to fix the threat as soon as possible," CoinGecko founder Bobby Ong tweeted. The phishing attack appears to have been triggered by a malicious ad script from Coinzilla, a crypto ad network, according to CoinGecko. Etherscan also advises its users not to confirm any transactions that may appear on the website. The attackers attempted to use the hype around the “bored monkeys” non-fungible tokens (NFT) to gain access to the cryptocurrencies of unsuspecting website visitors. Although the websites affected by the scam attempt have reacted in the last few hours and deactivated the advertising pop-up, it is still recommended not to connect your MetaMask wallet to ne
