What You Need to Know About the BNB Burn<\/strong><\/p>\n

BNB<\/a> is the native coin of the BNB Chain ecosystem, essential for powering its multifaceted Web3 environment. It supports transactions on the BNB Smart Chain (BSC), the opBNB L2s, <\/a>and BNB Greenfield<\/a> blockchain. Besides transaction fees, BNB serves as a governance token, granting holders the ability to participate in the BNB Chain\u2019s decentralized on-chain governance. Additionally, BNB functions as a strategic reserve asset <\/a>and enters the radar of more mainstream financial institutions, driving ecosystem growth and incentivizing adoption.<\/p>\n

Following its mainnet launch on April 18, 2019, BNB transitioned from the Ethereum Network to BNB Chain. \u201cBuild and Build\u201d is the philosophy behind BNB, reflecting its role in fostering development within the ecosystem. BNB employs an Auto-Burn system to gradually reduce its total supply to 100,000,000 BNB. The burn amount is adjusted based on BNB\u2019s price and the number of blocks generated on BSC during a quarter, ensuring transparency and predictability.<\/p>\n

BNB Auto Burn<\/strong><\/p>\n

The BNB Auto-Burn<\/a> provides an independently auditable, objective process. The figures are reported quarterly, and the mechanism is independent of the Binance centralized exchange.<\/p>\n

This quarter\u2019s burn and future burns will occur directly on BSC due to the BNB Chain Fusion. The corresponding BNB amount will be sent to the \u201cblackhole\u201d address: 0x000000000000000000000000000000000000dEaD.<\/p>\n

Note:<\/strong> Due to the recent Lorentz and Maxwell Upgrades, BSC is producing blocks more frequently, compared with the time when the Auto Burn formula was originally defined. The parameters used in the formula have been adjusted to keep the idea and spirit consistent.<\/p>\n

BNB Real-time Burn<\/strong><\/p>\n

Additionally, BNB implements a real-time burning mechanism<\/a> 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 BEP95, roughly 281K<\/strong> BNB has been burnt under this mechanism.<\/p>\n

About BNB Chain<\/strong><\/p>\n

BNB Chain<\/a> is a community-driven blockchain ecosystem that is removing barriers to Web3 adoption. It is composed of:<\/p>\n

BNB Smart Chain (BSC)<\/strong><\/a>:<\/strong> A secure DeFi hub with the lowest gas fees of any EVM-compatible L1; serves as the ecosystem\u2019s governance chain.
\nopBNB<\/strong><\/a>:<\/strong> A scalability L2 that delivers some of the lowest gas fees of any L2 and rapid processing speeds.
\nBNB Greenfield<\/strong><\/a>: Meets decentralized storage needs for the ecosystem and lets users establish their own data marketplaces.<\/p>\n
