Heima Network has officially submitted an on-chain governance proposal to permanently destroy 16.5 million HEI tokens. The council has already voted yes. Now the decision moves to the community, with public voting opening. This is one of the biggest supply-reduction moves in Heima's history. If approved, do you know how many tokens will disappear forever? Learn here what’s happening and how it impacts your investment.
<h3 id="span-span-what-is-heima-network-hei-span-span">What is Heima Network ($HEI)?</h3>
It is a <a href="https://www.coingabbar.com/en/crypto-blogs-details/l1-blockchains-guide" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Layer 1 blockchain</a>, a base-level network, like Ethereum or Solana. It focuses on cross-chain abstraction, which helps users manage multiple blockchains through one single account.&nbsp;Total supply is capped at 100 million Hei. Around 88 million are already in circulation. The remaining tokens sit in reserve wallets, including the 16.5 million token&nbsp;now targeted for destruction.
<h4>Why Burn Tokens? And Why These Specific Ones?</h4>
These 16.5 million tokens were originally saved for Polkadot parachain auctions. A parachain auction was how new blockchains used to buy a slot on the Polkadot network.
The&nbsp;<a href="https://www.coingabbar.com/en/crypto-currency-news/polkadot-etf-launch-21shares-tdot-boosts-polkadot-price-today" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Polkadot ecosystem</a>&nbsp;has since changed its system. It now uses Coretime sales instead of auctions. Under this model, Heima can pay for its network slot using DOT — main token — directly from the team's treasury. That means the reserved tokens have no purpose anymore.
Rather than hold those tokens and risk future sell pressure, the team wants to burn them through on-chain governance. Burning reduces the total supply. Less supply — with the same or growing demand — can increase the value of each remaining token.

<h4>What Exactly Gets Burned?</h4>
The 16.5 million token are split into two groups:
<ul>
 <li>12.05 million— token still locked under a vesting schedule, meaning they were set to release gradually over time</li>
 <li>4.45 million— token already unlocked but never touched or sold</li>
</ul>
Both groups currently sit in two multi-signature wallets on the Heima Network. A multi-sig wallet needs approval from multiple parties before any funds move.
<h4>Where Does the Vote Stand Right Now?</h4>
The proposal has already cleared the first stage. The Heima council — a group of governance representatives — voted yes on May 28. The proposal now moves into community voting, which opens in roughly two days.
Community members holding $HEI can vote directly on-chain. If the vote passes, the burn executes automatically through a batch transaction — no manual steps required.

<h4>Is the Team Still Building?</h4>
A fair question for any small blockchain project. Heima points to two active products.
The first is AgentKeys, an AI-powered digital identity product. Its code is publicly available on GitHub right now. The second is WildMeta, a product in active development whose code repository is currently private.
The team stated clearly: the project should grow through real products and future revenue — not by selling token reserves.
<h4>Heima Token Burn: What It Really Means for Your Money?</h4>
It plans to permanently destroy 16.5 million HEI (16% of the entire reserve). This removes future sell pressure from the market. Fewer tokens in supply means each remaining token becomes scarcer — and scarcity can drive value when demand grows.
Is This Beneficial to Users and Investors? Yes.&nbsp;
The team is burning tokens instead of selling them — a strong trust signal. The process is transparent, community-approved, and on-chain verifiable. It shows long-term commitment over short-term profit, which benefits every holder&nbsp;directly.
Watch the community vote opening in two days. Track HEI <a href="https://www.coingabbar.com/en/crypto-currency-news/why-crypto-market-down-today-may-28-btc-eth-defi-update" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">token price movement</a> closely, currently at $0.06. Check AgentKeys development on GitHub for real progress. Invest only what you can afford to lose, as HEI is a small-cap. Hence carries a high risk.
<h4>What Should You Watch Next?</h4>
Community vote opens in roughly two days — watch the governance&nbsp;portal. The price and trading volume in the days before and after the vote.&nbsp;AgentKeys development progress on the public GitHub repository. Voter turnout — low participation could signal weak community confidence
<h4>Conclusion</h4>
The&nbsp;proposal is a transparent move in a space that often lacks it. The council said yes. The community votes next. If approved, 16.5 million is&nbsp;gone permanently — tightening supply and signalling long-term commitment over short-term profit. Watch the community vote closely over the next 48 hours.
