The Terra governance system has voted to approve a proposal to burn all TerraUSD (UST) tokens held in the project’s community pool and UST deployed for past liquidity incentives on Ethereum. This amounts to more than 1.3 billion UST, or roughly 11% of the existing 11.2 billion UST supply. The proposal received 99.3% of the total cast votes in favor of it. This process will take place over two phases. First, it will send about 1 billion UST from Terra’s community pool to a burn module where it will be permanently removed from the supply. Then, the team will manually bridge back 370 million UST to Terra from the Ethereum blockchain and destroy them, as detailed in an explainer post on the Terra governance forum.
