The BNB Foundation has reached a critical point in its strategy to enhance the value of the BNB ecosystem, completing its 30th quarterly token burn.
This initiative, aimed at reducing the overall supply of BNB tokens, saw over $1.16 billion worth of tokens permanently removed from circulation, reflecting the foundation’s commitment to maintaining a deflationary model.
During this cycle, a total of 1,634,200.95 BNB were burned. Of this, 1,524,200.95 BNB were eliminated through a combination of the Auto-Burn and Pioneer Burn mechanisms. An additional 110,000 BNB, tied to staked tokens that were rendered irretrievable during the recent BNB Chain Fusion, were also removed. Following this event, the remaining supply of BNB tokens stands at 142,465,780.15, with plans to eventually burn another 42 million tokens.
The Auto-Burn system plays a pivotal role in ensuring fairness and transparency, as it determines the number of tokens to be burned based on the token’s market price and the number of blocks produced on the BNB Smart Chain.
This system is fully independent of Binance’s centralized operations, which reinforces its reliability and accountability. Each burn involves permanently sending tokens to an inaccessible “black hole” address, ensuring they are completely removed from the ecosystem.
A unique aspect of this cycle was the contribution of the Pioneer Burn Program, designed to assist users who lose tokens due to accidental errors. This quarter, 110,000 BNB tied to staked tokens that could not be retrieved during the BNB Chain Fusion were included in the burn.
