On Sunday night, Do Kwon posted another Twitter status referring to the burn wallet he had shared earlier, saying that sending tokens to this address will result in nothing except the loss of tokens.

To clarify, as I’ve noted multiple times i dont think sending tokens to this address to burn tokens is a good idea - nothing happens except that you lose your tokens

Want there to be no confusion whatsoever https://t.co/GrzG9cclAr

People kept asking for the burn address - happy to provide for information purposes but want to clarify that you should not burn tokens unless you know what you are doing - i for one cannot understand

The Terra founder went on to say that he could not understand why people would want to burn LUNA tokens.

Some users on Twitter dubbed the move “stupid and deceitful” and questioned why Do Kwon had shared the address in the first place.

“Nothing happens except that you lose your tokens”
