The BNB Foundation has announced the successful completion of the 36th quarterly BNB token burn by BNB Chain.
BNB Chain completed its 36th quarterly BNB token burn, sending 1,615,827.795 BNB to dead wallets worth $931,702,464 at the time of the burn. Following the burn, BNB’s remaining total supply is now 133,166,127.91 BNB.
BNB employs an auto-burn system to gradually reduce its total supply to 100,000,000 BNB, with the burn amount adjusted based on BNB’s price and the number of blocks generated on BSC during a quarter. The BNB Auto-Burn provides an independently auditable, objective process and is independent of the Binance centralized exchange.
Additionally, BNB implements a real-time burning mechanism based on gas fees. BSC validators determine the ratio of gas fees collected in each block, which is burned at a fixed rate. Since the introduction of BEP-95, 290,954 BNB has been burned under this mechanism.
This quarter’s burn and future burns will occur directly on BSC due to the BNB Chain Fusion, with the corresponding BNB amount being sent to a “black hole” address.
