The burn that the popular multi-chain smart contract network plans to undergo will see the destruction of 5% of the total ASTR supply. These tokens were initially allocated to Polkadot parachain auctions which were shelved for a long time by the Polkadot protocol. In addition to the 350 million token burn, the protocol plans to send another 70 million ASTR to the community treasury.
Usually, a token burn is a big deal for every ecosystem as it reduces the supply of its assets. Most times, the resulting scarcity triggers a bullish event which involves improvement in the price of the token in question. Following the announcement of the news of its token burn, ASTR has seen a significant rise in its market value.
At the time of this writing, the token was trading at $0.07558, after bagging more than 7% increase within the last 24 hours. With this growth, ASTR has outperformed a few of its counterparts in the market. Also, the token’s trading volume soared as high as $50 million, topping Monday’s level by 84%.
