This decision follows a governance vote within the Astar community, reflecting broad support for this strategic initiative.
Β
Initially, these 350 million ASTR tokens were reserved for Polkadot parachain auctions. However, updates in the Polkadot system made these tokens unnecessary for that purpose.Β
Β
As a result, the Astar Network decided to remove these tokens from circulation. By doing so, the network aims to increase staking rewards for the dApp staking community, enhancing the overall ecosystem's value.
Token burns are generally considered bullish events in the cryptocurrency market. By reducing the total supply of a token, the remaining tokens can potentially increase in value due to scarcity.Β
Β
Historical data supports this notion, with examples like the Floki Inu token, which saw a significant price rally following multiple token burns. Further, Shiba Inu has implemented a thriving burn mechanism, which has significantly impacted its token's value.
Β
The Astar Network hopes to replicate this positive impact with its own token burn. By eliminating 350 million ASTR tokens, the network aims to boost the token's value and attract more investors. Additionally, the network plans to transfer another 70 million ASTR to the community treasury, further supporting its development and growth.
Β
In order to ensure a smooth and transparent process, the Astar Foundation said it will coordinate and prepare for the burn.
Β
At the time of this writing, ASTR is trading at $0.07327, with almost no change over the last 24 hours. However, the token's trading volume has soared to $77 million, a 124% increase from the previous day.Β
