A few days ago, @luncdao, a leading Terra Classic community member, proposed plans to get the Terra Classic staking rolling again.

The proposal came after the community continued calling for massive token burn fueled by the unapologetic support from the community to make $LUNC great again. The leading Terra Classic community, LUNCDAO, is at the forefront of this as they define themselves as a group of long-term builders and community OGs who have been involved with LUNC since 2020.
They have shown solid commitment right after the crash, which saw many investors lose their money and stablecoin UST holdings.
The idea of the proposal is to initiate the $LUNC burn, thereby starting the revival movement which the community has always wanted before the fork. The community confirms that they have nothing personal to gain from the plan as there will be no financial incentive for it. They consider it a genuine donation to help $LUNC become great again, seeing they have put in their life work in the project.
Notably, this set of individuals was responsible for building many of the original dapps in the LUNC ecosystem, for example, prism protocol with a $150M Total Value Locked.
Binance Suspends LUNC Deposits and Withdrawals, Supports Network Upgrade
In a recent announcement from Binance, the biggest cryptocurrency exchange will support the network upgrade by halting deposits and withdrawals until the upgrade is completed.
The Terra Classic (LUNC) network upgrade will occur at the Terra Classic block height of 9,109,990, or approximately at 2022-08-26 22:00 (UTC). Binance has announced it will suspend deposits and withdrawals for LUNC at approximately 2022-08-26 at 21:00 (UTC).
Binance confirms in the announcement that the trading of LUNC will not be affected during the network upgrade.
Additionally, Deposits and withdrawals for LUNC will open once the exchange confirms the network is stable. The exchange also notes that there will be an announcement notification once the upgrade is complete.
