Shiba Inu Burn mechanism revealed
On Sunday, May 21, the Shiba Inu team released the mechanism behind the SHIB burn on the new layer 2 (L2) Shibarium network. According to the update, when a transaction is completed on the Shibarium, a transaction fee is paid in BONE and locked on the network. The validator then receives the priority fee. Furthermore, 30% of this fee is set aside for maintaining the network. The remaining 70% is burned.
Recent screenshots show that once the quantity of BONE locked in the contract exceeds 10 BONE, the fee can be burned. It will then be automatically converted to SHIB and sent to an unusable wallet.
Meanwhile, investors are racking up their SHIB investments. During the previous week, investors stacked up over 26 trillion SHIB tokens according to reports provided by IntoTheBlock analytics company.
