The foundation purchased and burned 1.5 million OORT tokens on November 18th to provide long-term value to community members and enhance the ecosystem’s sustainable growth. The burnt supply represents 0.08% of the ecosystem’s total supply of $2 billion and 0.23% of the OORT circulating supply.The token burn was executed in two transactions. The first transaction involved 900k OORT tokens and was executed through Gate.io, while the remaining 600k were executed on Bitget. The burn marked the fourth quarterly burn. Besides the scheduled burn, the foundation also burned 1,471,606 OORT through a separate mechanism.In August, the OORT Foundation <a href="https://www.cryptopolitan.com/oort-completes-final-token-unlock-marking-new-phase-in-projects-economy/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">initiated</a> a primary token unlock, but burned 4 million tokens worth $116,000, marking what the team described as a more stable phase for the project’s token economy. Since the unlock, the team highlighted that only 6 million tokens will be unlocked every quarter over the next two and a half years.&nbsp;The foundation also announced that it will pursue massive adoption within its ecosystem through Deimos Edge Nodes I and II, as well as the Olympus Layer-1 blockchain, based on directed acyclic graph (DAG) technology. DAG technology represents a new, more efficient method of reshaping data that uses less energy than other data structures.<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="the-foundation-has-burnt-8-272-million-tokens-in-2025">The foundation has burnt 8.272 million tokens in 2025</h3>The OORT Foundation’s initiative to buy back and burn its tokens has now removed 8.272 million OORT tokens from circulation in 2025, bringing the total number of OORT tokens burnt to 17.35 million.
