On July 2, the network decided to burn its specified amount of tokens to surge token value and improve Astar Network Tokenomics. These tokens were preserved for Parachain auctions and are no longer required due to the update in the Polkadot system. Moreover, it was also estimated that eliminating the tokens will also increase the staking rewards for the decentralized application (dApp) <a href="https://www.coingabbar.com/en/crypto-currency-news/bitget-presents-zk-token-staking-opportunity-on-poolx" title="staking" class="f-link" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">staking</a> community.&nbsp;

Token burns are generally considered bullish events in the cryptocurrency market. By reducing the total supply of a token, the remaining tokens can potentially increase in value due to scarcity.&nbsp;
Keeping the scenario in mind, the Astar community supported the network’s proposal to burn 350 Million ASTR tokens from the <a href="https://www.coingabbar.com/en/crypto-currency-news/pink-memecoin-launched-by-polkadot-web3" title="parachain" class="f-link" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">parachain</a> reserve. The Astar Network's strategy to burn a portion of ASTR tokens will likely lead to a deflationary effect, potentially raising the value of remaining tokens and enhancing staking rewards.&nbsp;
This move aims to reduce inflation, boost market value, and create a sustainable token economy, reinforcing Astar's commitment to growth and community value. Moreover, a direct influence of the action was noted on ASTR’s price.&nbsp;
<h4>Astar Network Tokenomics and Price&nbsp;</h4>
According to CoinMarketCap, the ASTR token has a total supply of 8,159,136,198 and a circulating supply of 6,140,843,400. The reviewed Astar Network Tokenomics will involve token distribution for users &amp; early supporters, On-chain DAO, Parachain auction, Protocol development, marketing, foundation, team, and early financial brokers.

In the past 7 days, the ASTR token experienced a drop of 7.20%, declining from $0.07105 on July 1 to $0.0585 on July 8. However, the token burning news surged the token value to $0.06531 at press time, showcasing a spike of 1.86% in a day with $401,535,303 in market cap and $52,363,675 in 24-hour volume.&nbsp;&nbsp;
If things remain positive, the crypto market may witness highs in ASTR token price soon.&nbsp;
<h4>Conclusion</h4>
Astar Network's strategic burn of 350 Million ASTR tokens, constituting a 5% reduction in total supply, is a significant move towards strengthening its tokenomics. This action is expected to create a deflationary impact, potentially enhancing the value of ASTR tokens and increasing staking rewards. The initiative reflects Astar's dedication to fostering a sustainable token economy and reaffirms its commitment to community growth.&nbsp;
