Do Kwon Addresses Terra LUNA ‘Burn Wallet’

Terra LUNA has a circulating supply of 6.5 trillion at present and is highly unlikely the numbers will reduce anytime soon.

Do Kwon confirmed that sending LUNA to the ‘burn wallet’ does nothing and investors will only lose their money and tokens.

“To clarify, as I’ve noted multiple times I don’t think sending tokens to this address to burn tokens is a good idea – nothing happens except that you lose your tokens. Want there to be no confusion whatsoever,” he tweeted.

“People kept asking for the burn address – happy to provide for information purposes but want to clarify that you should not burn tokens unless you know what you are doing – I for one cannot understand,” he said.
