Terra Luna Classic Proposes 10X Gas Fees On Transactions, LUNC Price To $1?

The Terra Luna Classic community is taking actions to shield the chain from spam assaults and has put forth various suggestions. One suggestion, which has been proposed, involves a tenfold rise in gas fees. Its advocates argue that the existing transaction fees are insufficiently high, making attacks both viable and affordable.

Terra Luna Classic 10X Gas Fees Proposal

Proposition 12095, labeled “10x Higher Gas Fees,” is currently being put to a vote in the Terra Station wallet. This proposal is garnering a substantial number of affirmative votes from the Luna Classic community, as they view it as essential.

The suggestion asserts that on-chain gas fees for transactions are very affordable at just 3.74 LUNC. Regrettably, this low cost makes it economically viable for malicious actors to launch spam attacks against our network. To mitigate this risk, the proposition recommends increasing gas fees by a factor of ten.

Half of the gas fees from transactions are allocated to the community pool, while the other half goes towards staking rewards. This setup aims to enhance network security by increasing the expense of potential transaction attacks. Nonetheless, it might lead to higher costs for dapps and chain partners due to increased fees.

“TerraCVita stated that increasing gas fees doesn’t effectively lessen the consequences of chain attacks and introduces extra complications for apps that we aim to support instead.”

Seven out of ten validators have cast a affirmative vote on the proposal, amounting to 17 out of the total 30 validator votes.

At the same time, Genuine Labs put forward a plan to protect the Terra Classic blockchain from peer-to-peer storm assaults by reducing the MaxBlockSize from 5MB to 2MB.
