After deduction of 1.2% tax, the balance will be credited to the user account in the specific CEX. For withdrawals, users will receive the amount withdrawn minus withdrawal fees charged by cryptocurrency exchanges and a 1.2% tax deduction for the network.
According to the proposal, the main goal of the “tax + burn” mechanism, which imposes a 1.2% burn tax on each sale and purchase transaction, is to “reduce the total supply of Luna Classic.” After the supply reaches the 10 billion target, the 1.2% burn mechanism will be “disabled”.
Burning a coin or sending it to a dead wallet is a common practice in the cryptocurrency world, provided it positively affects the price of the coin. This is an economic principle based on the law of supply and demand, if demand increases and supply decreases, prices will soar.
