Individual Burn Efforts Yield Positive Results, But There’s Need for More
The joint effort by Shiba Inu community members toward reducing the circulating supply of SHIB has yielded positive results. So far, a total of 410,659,447,212,709 (410.65 trillion) SHIB have been burned from the cryptocurrency’s circulating supply.
Despite the amount burned so far, SHIB still has a hefty circulating supply of 579,624,553,910,004 (579.62 trillion).
It is evident that the Shiba Inu community would require more than the regular burns to reduce the cryptocurrency circulating supply. Hence, they rely on the Shiba Inu team to step in as promised.
The Shiba Inu team noted that Shibarium, the cryptocurrency’s Layer-2 blockchain, will contribute to the ongoing SHIB burn efforts.
According to the team, a part of Shibarium transaction fees will be set aside to burn SHIB. Although Shibarium transaction fees are in Bone ShibaSwap (BONE), the team said the token will be converted into SHIB and then sent to the dead wallet.
BONE Accumulated for Shibarium-powered SHIB Burn
In an interesting development, the team behind Shibburn recently introduced a service that helps the community track the amount of BONEs Shibarium has helped accumulate for SHIB burns.
At press time, Shibarium has a total of 2,995,799 transactions and a total address of 1.25 million wallets. Shibburn estimates that Shibarium will need to process 6,443,203,099,529,525 (6.44 quadrillion) transactions to accumulate $25K worth of BONE, which will be converted into SHIB and burned.
