Burn

Astar

Astar Network recently announced a significant development on their X (formerly Twitter) platform. Following a community vote, the network has successfully destroyed 350 million ASTR tokens, representing 5% of the total supply of their multi-chain smart contract network. 
This decision came after careful consideration and a governance process that involved the entire Astar community. The news of this token burn has had an immediate impact on the market, with ASTR’s price seeing a 3% increase in response.

The <a href="https://coingape.com/astar-network-to-burn-350-million-astr-allocation-for-auction/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Astar Network</a> token burn proposal underwent a thorough deliberation process before being put to a community vote. The high level of community participation demonstrated a strong interest in shaping the network’s future. The voting period lasted for one week, resulting in a clear victory for the burn proposal, with over 66 million ASTR tokens used in the voting process. 
This burn of 5% (350 million ASTR) of the Astar genesis allocation showcases the effectiveness of community-driven governance in blockchain projects. The Astar Foundation executed the burn, marking a significant step in optimizing the network’s <a href="https://coingape.com/crypto-with-the-best-tokenomics/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tokenomics</a>. 
In addition to the token burn, approximately 70 million ASTR tokens, which had accumulated as rewards, will be staked in the Community Treasury. This move will support the Unstoppable Community Grants initiative, further reinforcing the network’s commitment to community-driven development.
