The Shiba Inu ecosystem witnessed alarming SHIB token burns over
the past 24 hours. The Shiba Inu community sent over 814 million
SHIB tokens to the dead wallets within the past 24 hours. This is
part of its strategy to check the SHIB token supply. According to
an update by Shibburn, the token burn took place in seven
consecutive transactions, making up 814,901,863 SHIB tokens. This
burn rate spike comes about two weeks after the PuppyNet Shibarium
testnet release by lead Shiba Inu developer Shytoshi Kusama.

on the SHIB burn tracker, Shibburn, over 802,428,808 SHIB tokens
have been burned in the last 24 hours. That makes a 2,080.00% spike
in burn rate. Recent reports noted that the largest burn
transaction came from Koyo (KOY), a community-inspired token that
started on March 10. KOY’s launch triggered the burning of
794,858,822 SHIB tokens through the official SHIB Burn Portal on
March 27, according to Shibburn’s update. The transaction
details on Shibburn.com shows that the 794,858,822 SHIB tokens went
into the dead wallets in a single transaction at 1:05 PM UTC on
March 27. KoyArmy founder said the token burn is just the tip of
the iceberg as the community would soon witness accelerated burn
rates in the coming days. Not up to 24 hours after the 794.85
Million SHIB burn, another 802.43 million tokens went into the dead
wallets. That wasn’t the first burn transaction inspired by
Koyo over the past seven days. On March 21, 733,024,321 million
SHIB tokens went into the burn wallet courtesy of Koyo.
Cumulatively, Koyo has removed over 6.15 billion SHIB from
circulation through multiple transactions via a 2% sell tax. A
recent burn transaction from March 26 saw 830.38 million SHIB
tokens removed from circulation, spiking burn rates by 61,765.36%
within 24 hours. In addition, the Shiba Inu community destroyed
834,804,461 (834.80M) million SHIB tokens in 82 transactions over
the past seven days. Shibarium To Inspire More Burn Rate Spike
Besides the community-inspired burn activities, SHIB developers
seek solutions to reduce the massive Shiba Inu circulating supply.
A recently released Shibarium document by the SHIB developer team
revealed how Shibarium would reduce transaction costs while
facilitating the automatic burning of SHIB tokens. In detail, the
document noted that 70% of the transaction fee would go into the
re-purchase and burning of Shiba Inu tokens. This mechanism will
effectively reduce the supply and the same time, increase the value
of SHIB tokens. Related Reading: CFTC Vs. Binance: Cumberland

the base fee will remain for network maintenance and to cater to
operational costs, ensuring optimum network runtime. However, the
document also stated that the fee structure is subject to change as
the Shiba Inu network evolves. Featured image from Pexels and chart
