Binance has successfully completed its 29th BNB coin burn on the BNB Smart Chain (BSC), removing 1.77 million BNB from circulation. This significant action, valued at approximately $1.07 billion, aims to diminish the circulating supply of BNB while maintaining transparency by publicly sharing transaction details.
How Does the Auto-Burn System Work?
The majority of this burn, totaling 1.71 million BNB, was conducted through Binance’s Auto-Burn system, which calculates burn amounts based on the current BNB price and the production of blocks on the BSC.
What Is the Pioneer Burn Program?
Moreover, an additional burn of 62,569 BNB was executed this quarter to address BTokens inadvertently sent to inactive wallets by some users. This extra burn corrects an oversight from previous quarters when these tokens were not included in the Auto-Burn process.
The Pioneer Burn Program plays a vital role in Binance’s efforts to recover lost assets. This program compensates users for BNB and bridged coins lost due to genuine mistakes. However, this quarter, no new burns were reported under this program.
