The $BNB Foundation has successfully completed its 29th quarterly token burn, removing approximately 1.77 million $BNB from circulation, worth approximately $1.07 billion at the time of the burn.
$BNB Foundation Completes 29th Quarterly $BNB Token Burn, Removing Over $1 Billion in $BNB from Circulation
This final burn, performed by $BNB Chain’s Auto-Burn mechanism, supports the network’s goal of gradually reducing the total $BNB supply to 100 million.
Key Figures from the 29th $BNB Token Burn
The total burn of 1,772,712.363 $BNB consists of two main components:
- 1,710,142,733 $BNB originates from Auto Burn.
- The 62,569.63 $BNB is an additional component related to the Pioneer Burn Program, which compensates users who lost their $BNB-backed BTokens due to accidental transfers to inactive addresses. This previously excluded amount has now been added to this quarter’s burn.
The burn transaction is recorded on the $BNB Chain and further details can be accessed via the transaction ID.
$BNB burns occur through an Automated Burn system that adjusts the burn amount every three months based on the market price of $BNB and the number of blocks produced on the $BNB Smart Chain (BSC).
This approach provides a transparent and predictable reduction in supply with real-time burn mechanisms for gas fees collected from BSC transactions.
As $BNB Chain progresses with its ongoing Fusion initiative, future burns will be performed directly on BSC, with the burned tokens sent to a “blackhole” address to be permanently removed from circulation.
Currently, there are approximately 43.5 million $BNB left to be burned to reach the target supply cap of 100 million.
