Number of LUNC Staked Tokens Surpasses 900B

LUNC staked tokens has surpassed 900 billion again. 

Rex Harrison (AKA Rexyz), a senior member of the independent Terra Classic development group TerraCVita, took to Twitter to announce the remarkable feat, saying: 

“According to Smart Stake, we’ve just smashed $900bn $LUNC staked.” 

LUNC Staking Gains Momentum Amid Growing Utility

The development comes hours after the Neblio blockchain platform announced it would be launching a new mobile wallet with a built-in LUNC staking functionality. Neblio also noted that the wallet would feature a cross-chain staking mechanism between its native token, dubbed NEBL, and LUNC. 

The cross-chain staking mechanism will allow users to stake LUNC in order to earn NEBL and also stake NEBL to earn LUNC. Interestingly, the Terra Classic community took the campaign seriously, which saw the number of staked tokens surpass 900 billion. According to the data shared by Rexyz, the total staked LUNC sits at 901 billion. 

Recall that LUNC staked tokens had surpassed 900 billion in December. Following reports that some members of Terra Rebels misappropriated $150K worth of community funds, the number of staked tokens declined to 850 billion. 

The incident also affected the price of the crypto asset at the time, as many Terra Classic community members lost faith in the crypto project due to the funds’ misappropriation carried out by some Terra Rebels members. Interestingly, LUNC staking has gained momentum again, as the number of staked tokens surpasses 900 billion. 

LUNC Surges 10% 

The development contributed significantly to LUNC’s price. In the early hours of today, LUNC soared nearly 10%, pushing the price of the crypto asset to $0.0001755. At press time, LUNC is changing hands at $0.00017349. 

Meanwhile, the LUNC burn campaign has remained on track, with millions of tokens incinerated daily. On January 18, the Terra Classic community burned 5,096,362 (5M+) in one day. Out of the 5M+ LUNC tokens burned, independent Terra Classic validator LUNC DAO incinerated 2.6M LUNC tokens.

  • Serious Security Vulnerability Discovered in PHP, Leading to Mass Shutdown of Government Websites in Europe

    On October 21, due to the discovery of serious security vulnerabilities in the widely used PHP programming language, multiple government websites across Europe and other regions were forced offline on Wednesday, prompting website operators to take urgent measures to protect system security. The PHP development team announced on Tuesday that two severe security flaws had been identified and urged users to update immediately after the release of the fix. On Wednesday, the PHP team confirmed that a new version addressing the vulnerabilities had been officially released. However, reports indicated that hackers were exploiting these vulnerabilities to breach websites, leading government agencies in countries such as the Netherlands and Finland to proactively shut down some sites before the patch was made available. PHP is one of the most widely used programming languages on the internet, supporting website platforms such as WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, and Magento. According to website technology statistics agency W3Techs, approximately 75% of websites that can identify their programming language use PHP. About 43% of websites globally are powered by WordPress, covering blogs, small business sites, government portals, e-commerce platforms, and news websites. This security incident has resulted in widespread disruptions to websites across multiple European countries, including the Port of Rotterdam, the government portal Overheid.nl, the Royal Netherlands Football Association, the websites of the country's five major political parties, and several hospital websites, all of which have been temporarily shut down.
