How lunc.asia researches Terra Classic for Asia

What lunc.asia is

lunc.asia covers one coin and one region. The coin is LUNC, the token of Terra Classic, the original Terra blockchain that its community has kept running since the May 2022 collapse. The region is Asia in the wide sense: Turkey, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia. English is our main language, with versions in Turkish, Japanese, Thai, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Korean, Chinese and Malay.

Readers come to us with practical questions. Where can I buy LUNC in my country? Which pair is the real Terra Classic and which is Terra 2.0? How much does the burn tax take from a transfer? Is this exchange on the regulator’s list? We try to answer those plainly, in one place, with the evidence close at hand. A good starting point is what LUNC is, then the Asia hub for your country.

How we research

We build pages from primary sources first. For chain facts, such as the burn tax rate, total supply, staking parameters and governance votes, we query public Terra Classic nodes directly and read the on-chain parameters. For legal status, we go to regulator registers and official announcements: OJK and CFX in Indonesia, the SEC in Thailand, SPK in Turkey, the FSA in Japan, and their peers elsewhere. For listings, pairs, fees and minimum orders, we use exchanges’ own public APIs and official pages, then cross-check against CoinGecko.

Press coverage fills gaps, but we treat it as secondary and say so in the text. When a fact cannot be confirmed, such as a licence number on a register that would not load, we either write that we could not confirm it or leave it out. We do not estimate fees, invent user counts or repeat price targets. Where Terra Classic history is disputed, as with several 2022 exchange notices, we go back to the original announcement or on-chain record.

The ticker problem gets special care. "LUNA" means Terra Classic on some exchanges and Terra 2.0 on others, and the two differ in price by roughly a thousand times. Every exchange page we publish says which is which. Our LUNC vs LUNA page explains why.

How the live widgets work

The price boards, charts, converters, burn meter and chain panels on this site do not come from a server of ours. Your browser fetches them directly from public sources: CoinGecko for market data, Binance’s public market-data API as a fallback, a public currency-rate file served through jsDelivr for local-currency conversion, and public Terra Classic nodes for supply, tax, staking and governance data.

We set two rules for these widgets. First, nothing is invented. If a quote is too old to count as live, it is not shown as live. Second, when a source fails or times out, the block hides itself instead of showing a guess or a placeholder number. That is why a widget can sometimes be missing on a slow connection. Reload the page, or check the burn tracker and price page a little later.

Because live values change by the minute, our written text avoids quoting them. We describe numbers in rounded terms and point you to the widget for the current figure.

Editorial principles

We write for someone about to make a decision with real money, so clarity comes before style. Pages answer the question first and explain the reasoning after. Worked examples are labelled as examples. Opinions are marked as our take and written as "we", because they come from the team, not from a named personality.

We do not publish price predictions as promises, and we do not tell anyone to buy. Exchange reviews score the same five areas each time, so they can be compared, and they include the weak spots: thin order books, hacks, missing fee data. When we point to a service, we say what it can and cannot do. For example, a card on-ramp that sells USDT but does not list LUNC is described exactly that way, in our how to buy LUNC guide and on the exchanges list.

Corrections

Terra Classic moves fast. A governance vote can change a parameter, and an exchange can add or drop a pair overnight. When we learn that something on a page is wrong or out of date, we check it against the primary source and fix the page. If you spot an error, please send it with a link to the source through our contact page. A short note with the page address and the correct fact is the most useful thing a reader can send us.
