Shibarium Auto-burn Mechanism For Shiba Inu (SHIB) Launches

The Shiba Inu ecosystem has reached a significant milestone with the introduction of an automated SHIB burn mechanism. This feature was initially announced on X and integrated into the Shibarium Layer-2 network through a hard fork on August 9, 2024, at 9:15 AM UTC.

The hard fork also introduced a new version of the Bor software, designated as v1.1.2-bone. This update has enhanced the overall performance and functionality of the Shibarium network.

A key component of this upgrade was the implementation of a burn mechanism that automatically reduces the circulating supply of SHIB tokens. This long-awaited feature had been a subject of much anticipation within the Shiba Inu community.

Originally announced in late 2023, the auto-burn mechanism was put through rigorous testing on Puppynet, the Shiba Inu ecosystem’s testnet, before its recent launch.

The New SHIB Auto-burn Mechanism

The burn mechanism operates by utilizing a portion of Shibarium’s transaction fees. Specifically, 70% of the base fee generated from each transaction is converted into SHIB tokens and permanently removed from circulation. The remaining 30% is allocated towards the maintenance and development of the Shibarium ecosystem.

This deflationary measure is expected to positively impact the value of the remaining SHIB tokens by reducing its overall supply. Lucie (@LucieSHIB), a prominent community figure and Shiba Inu marketing lead confirmed these details, clarifying earlier announcements regarding the burn mechanism.

A New Phase for the SHIB Ecosystem

It is important to note that this was the second hard fork for Shibarium in 2024. A previous upgrade in May focused on improving transaction speed and reducing gas fees. The recent hard fork represents another step forward in the development of the Shiba Inu ecosystem.

After this development, the SHIB burn rate experienced a significant surge. Over 410.72 trillion SHIB tokens have been burned to date, with more than 100 million SHIB destroyed within the week. This spike sent SHIB Burns up by almost 140,000%, and the auto-burn mechanism will increase the burn rate significantly.

The introduction of automated SHIB burns through the Shibarium hard fork is a substantial development for the Shiba Inu ecosystem. SHIB works with a deflationary model. By reducing the circulating supply of SHIB, this mechanism could positively influence the meme coin’s value and overall market performance.
