Good morning, as part of planned infrastructure updates that we've been working on for quite some time, we will be experiencing some planned downtime with our validator on #Mars during the holiday season as we work on getting the new infrastructure rolled out. Enjoy the holidays!

In support of the $LUNC community's efforts to repeg $USTC, 100% of our commission earned on Terra Classic will now be swapped to USTC and burnt until we repeg USTC! Please support our efforts by delegating here: #LUNC #LUNCcommunity #LuncArmy #USTCRepeg

As a result of the refusal of #LUNC validators to pay the $USTC Team for work that they delivered successfully, we will now be funding the USTC Team directly with our commissions in response to this breach of contract by validators. If you want to fix the chain, please delegate.

@klothtweets From everything we've seen, the community has a clear desire for the $USTC Team to continue their work and achieve the repeg. Validators are voting against that desire from the community. This gives the community a choice to redelegate and fund the $USTC Team in a different way.
