While the developers were busy with the blockchain upgrade, the community fails to burn significant LUNC tokens this week as part of the commitment to remove tokens out of the total circulating supply.

The community burned over 15 million LUNC tokens last week, as compared to 12 million LUNC in early January. The milestone set by the community indicated a move in the right direction as per the goal to burn billions of LUNC in 2023. In fact, the community believes LUNC price can hit $1 in 2023 through regular burns and bringing back utility.
