Upbit Makes Arrangement For LUNC Fees
According to a recent meeting of Upbit’s Luna Fee Utilization Committee, a portion of the fees will be donated to organizations assisting victims of the Terra collapse. A portion of the fee will also be used to create a whitepaper outlining the primary cause of the collapse. The paper will alert investors to other similar projects that may become operational in the future.
Long-term plans include the establishment of a digital asset monitoring centre to protect investors and promote fair market techniques. Notably, Upbit’s initial plan was to refund the fees to investors.
