How to use the LUNC tracker
The tracker at the top of this page is a small Terra Classic block explorer. Paste one of three things and press the button: a transaction hash, a wallet address that starts with terra1, or a validator address that starts with terravaloper1. It asks public Terra Classic nodes directly from your browser and shows the answer in plain language, with a link to open the same record in Galaxy Finder if you want the full technical view.
Each input has a recognisable shape. A transaction hash is 64 characters of digits and the letters A to F. A normal wallet address is terra1 followed by 38 characters, while smart-contract addresses are longer. A validator’s operator address starts with terravaloper1 and is what you see on staking pages. If the tracker says the input is not valid, you have usually copied a space, a missing character or an address from another chain. A 0x address belongs to Ethereum or BNB Chain and only ever holds wrapped LUNC, never the native coin.
Reading a LUNC transaction
A transaction card shows the fields below. Most questions people have about a “missing” transfer are answered by three of them: status, recipient and memo.
| Field | What it means | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Status | Success or failed, with an error code | Failed means nothing moved except the fee |
| Type | The message, such as MsgSend or MsgDelegate | Matches what you meant to do |
| From / To | Sender and recipient (or validator, contract) | Recipient matches the address you were given |
| Amount | Coins in the first message | Units are LUNC; 1 LUNC = 1,000,000 uluna |
| Memo | Free text attached by the sender | Exchange deposits need the exact memo |
| Block and time | Height and timestamp of inclusion | Included means final |
| Fee | Gas fee the sender paid | Paid even if the transaction failed |
| Gas used / wanted | Work consumed vs the limit set | Used near the limit can mean out of gas |
The type tells you what really happened. A MsgSend is an ordinary transfer, MsgDelegate and MsgUndelegate are staking actions, MsgWithdrawDelegatorReward claims rewards, MsgVote is a governance vote, MsgTransfer is an IBC transfer to another Cosmos chain such as Osmosis, and MsgExecuteContract is an interaction with a smart contract, for example a DEX swap. If a transaction contains several messages, the tracker lists all their types but shows the sender, recipient and amount of the first one, so open it in Galaxy Finder for the rest.
Terra Classic uses CometBFT consensus, so once a transaction is in a block it is final. There are no confirmations to wait for as on Bitcoin. Blocks arrive about every six seconds. If an exchange still says “pending” after your transaction is in a block, the delay is on the exchange’s side, not the chain’s.
Fees, gas and the burn tax
Every Terra Classic transaction pays a gas fee in LUNC. Your wallet estimates how much gas the transaction needs, adds a margin and multiplies it by the gas price; the chain’s reference price is 28.325 uluna per unit of gas. The Fee row in our tracker shows what the sender paid, and Gas used versus Gas wanted shows how much of the limit was consumed. When gas used equals or nearly equals gas wanted and the status is failed, the transaction ran out of gas. Resubmitting with a higher limit usually fixes it.
Taxable transfers also pay the burn tax, which governance set at 1.5% with proposal 12223 (voting ended 2 August 2026) and can change again by vote. Only 1.2 points of it are burned; the rest goes to the community pool and the oracle reward pool. The chain collects it in one of two ways, and the tracker helps you tell which. If the fee your wallet attached covers gas plus tax, the tax is charged on top: the Fee row looks larger than gas alone and the recipient gets the full amount. If the fee covers only gas, the chain uses reverse charge: the tax is deducted from the amount sent, the recipient gets less, and the event log on a full explorer such as Galaxy Finder shows a tax payment entry marked reverse_charge.
A worked example: if you send 1,000,000 LUNC in a taxable transfer, about 15,000 LUNC goes to the tax, and about 12,000 of that is destroyed. Not everything is taxed. Delegating, undelegating and claiming rewards are free of the tax, IBC transfers are too, and trading on an exchange’s order book never touches the chain. Coins you send into a smart contract are not taxed, but coins a contract pays out to a wallet are. Exchange deposits and withdrawals are taxed; only Binance’s internal transfers sit in an exemption zone. Our LUNC burn tax guide covers the full rules.
Treat the hash as your receipt
Whenever you move LUNC, keep the transaction hash. It is the only proof that settles a dispute with an exchange or a support desk.
Reading a wallet: the LUNC wallet tracker
Paste a terra1 address and the tracker shows four numbers. Balance is the LUNC that is free to send, plus any USTC and a count of other tokens the address holds. Staked is the LUNC delegated to validators, which does not appear in the free balance. Rewards are staking rewards earned but not yet claimed. Unbonding is LUNC you have undelegated that is still inside the 21-day unbonding period and cannot be moved until it ends.
That split explains a common scare. Someone stakes most of their LUNC, opens a wallet app that only shows free balance and thinks their coins are gone. Paste the address here and the staked figure tells you they are safe. The tracker is read-only: it cannot move funds, and it never needs your seed phrase. You can watch any public address this way, including your own cold wallet, without connecting a wallet at all. For staking decisions, our LUNC staking guide explains the realistic reward rate, which is around 2% a year.
Checking a validator
A terravaloper1 address returns the validator’s moniker, whether it is active, inactive or jailed, its voting power in LUNC, its commission and its website. The commission shown is the on-chain rate, and that is the only number to trust. Validator names are self-chosen, and some monikers advertise a fee that does not match what the chain charges. Large validators are also forced to charge more by the dynamic commission rule, up to 20%.
Jailed means the validator was penalised, usually for downtime or missed oracle votes, and is earning nothing while jailed. If your validator shows as jailed, consider redelegating. Our LUNC validators page shows the live active set and explains how to choose one, and LUNC governance covers how validator votes work and how you can override yours.

Buy USDT by card, move it to an exchange that lists LUNC, then withdraw to a terra1 address you can check right here.
How to verify a deposit or withdrawal
This is the check we run whenever an exchange deposit seems late. It takes two minutes and gives you exactly what support needs.
Find the hash
For a deposit, copy it from your wallet’s activity list. For a withdrawal, copy the TXID from the exchange’s withdrawal history.
Paste it into the tracker
If it says not found, recheck the hash. For a withdrawal with no hash yet, the exchange has not sent anything.
Check status and recipient
Status must be success and the recipient must match the deposit address character for character.
Check the memo
Exchange deposits need the exact memo from the deposit page. A blank or wrong memo is the most common cause of missing deposits.
Check amount and time
Compare with what you expected, keeping in mind that the burn tax and fee reduce what arrives.
Contact support with proof
If everything is correct and the coins are still not credited, send the exchange the hash, the amount and your memo.
Exchanges sometimes pause LUNC withdrawals for wallet maintenance, Binance included, so a withdrawal that never gets a hash is usually waiting on the exchange. Check the withdrawal status before you buy if you plan to move coins out, and see our LUNC exchanges page for the venues that list the coin.
How to check LUNC burns on-chain
Burned LUNC goes to one address, terra1sk06e3dyexuq4shw77y3dsv480xv42mq73anxu, which is the chain’s burn module account. Paste it into the tracker and you will see a balance of zero. That is not a bug: the chain destroys everything sent there at the end of every block, whether it comes from the burn tax, a Binance batch or a holder burning coins voluntarily. Old dashboards that show a growing burn-wallet balance describe how things worked before 2022, or are simply wrong.
So the honest way to count burns is total supply. Every burn lowers the total LUNC supply the chain reports. The community counts from a baseline of about 6.9 trillion LUNC in May 2022, and the on-chain total has since fallen to about 6.4 trillion, which puts total burns in the region of 460 billion LUNC. That figure includes large one-off burns, not only the tax. You can query the number yourself from the public supply endpoint (the figure is in uluna, so divide by one million), or watch it move on our LUNC burn tracker.
Individual burns are ordinary transactions. Binance’s monthly batches, funded from half of its LUNC spot and margin trading fees, are transfers to the burn address, and the program has burned more than 87 billion LUNC in total. When a batch hash is published, paste it into the tracker to confirm the amount, block and time yourself instead of trusting a screenshot. Our Binance LUNC burn page tracks those batches.
Other Terra Classic explorers that work
Our tracker is built for quick answers. When you need event logs, contract state, full message lists or governance history, use a full explorer. These are the ones that worked when we tested them, plus two popular names that don’t.
| Explorer | Best for | Works for LUNC? |
|---|---|---|
| Galaxy Finder (Hexxagon) | Full tx detail, events, contracts | Yes |
| ATOMScan | Blocks, validators, proposals | Yes |
| Terraport Finder | Transactions and accounts | Yes |
| LUNCdash Finder | Transactions and accounts | Yes |
| Valopers, Validator.info | Validator performance | Yes |
| LuncScan | Chain overview | Site live |
| Mintscan | Other Cosmos chains | No, not supported |
| ping.pub | Other Cosmos chains | No, route returns an error |
| Etherscan, BscScan | Wrapped tokens only | Not for native LUNC |
Terraform Labs’ old Terra Finder still loads a page for Classic, but it most likely relies on the same dead backend as Terra Station, so we don’t rely on it. If you search “lunc etherscan” or “lunc bscscan”, remember that those sites only show the wrapped tokens on their chains, named LUNA, which you can read about on our wrapped page. Wallets such as Galaxy Station link straight to Galaxy Finder, and our LUNC wallets guide explains which wallets still work.
Privacy: what a lookup reveals
Our site is static, so a lookup does not pass through a server of ours. Your browser sends the query straight to public Terra Classic nodes run by PublicNode and Hexxagon, and like any web request, the node operator can see your IP address and what you asked for. If that matters to you, use a VPN or run your own node.
The bigger privacy point is the blockchain itself. Every balance, delegation and transfer on Terra Classic is public forever, and anyone who links your terra1 address to your name can follow your coins. Don’t post your main address next to your identity, and consider a separate address for public activity such as donations or giveaways. A memo is public too, so never write personal details in it.
FAQ
What is the best LUNC explorer?
For full detail, including event logs and smart contracts, Galaxy Finder by Hexxagon is the most complete Terra Classic explorer. ATOMScan, Terraport Finder and LUNCdash Finder also work. For a quick check of a transaction hash, wallet or validator, the tracker on this page reads public nodes directly.
How do I check a LUNC transaction?
Copy the 64-character transaction hash from your wallet or the exchange withdrawal history and paste it into the tracker. You will see whether it succeeded, who sent it, where it went, the amount, the memo, the block and the fee. A failed transaction still pays its gas fee.
Can I use Etherscan or BscScan for LUNC?
Only for the wrapped LUNC tokens on Ethereum and BNB Chain, which show the symbol LUNA. Native LUNC lives on Terra Classic, so its transactions and terra1 addresses only appear on Terra Classic explorers such as Galaxy Finder or the tracker on this page.
Does Mintscan support Terra Classic?
No. Cosmostation’s own chain list marks Terra Classic as not supported on Mintscan, and the ping.pub route for the chain returns an error. Use Galaxy Finder, ATOMScan, Terraport Finder or LUNCdash Finder instead.
Why does my LUNC transaction say not found?
Either the hash has a typo, the transaction was never included in a block, or the exchange has not broadcast your withdrawal yet. Terra Classic blocks arrive about every six seconds, so a real transaction shows up quickly. If an exchange shows no hash, nothing has happened on-chain yet.
