Luna is the staking token for the terra blockchain. Terra tx pays fees 0.7% currently as staking rewards for Luna. As terra adoption grows so do staking returns for Luna
If I understand correctly, the purpose of Luna to Terra’s network is comparable to XRP’s purpose to Ripple’s network, without staking rewards. Is that right?
XRP has neither fiat denominated redemption nor non inflationary rewards. Luna can be swapped out to terra stablecoin (redeemable) and earns rewards not from inflation but from tx fees
