Shiba Inu Burn Mechanism: How It Works and it’s Impact on Shib Supply Shiba Inu (SHIB), one of the most popular meme-based cryptocurrencies, has implemented a burn mechanism to reduce its total supply and potentially increase its value over time. The concept of token burning is widely used in the crypto world to create scarcity, making the remaining tokens more valuable as demand rises. This article explores how SHIB’s burn mechanism works, its significance, and its potential impact on the SHIB ecosystem. What Is a Token Burn? Token burning refers to the permanent removal of coins from circulation by sending them to an inaccessible wallet address, known as a burn address or dead wallet. Once tokens are sent to this address, they can never be retrieved or used again. The primary goal of burning SHIB is to reduce its massive supply, which started at 1 quadrillion (1,000 trillion) SHIB at launch. A lower supply can, in theory, create scarcity and drive up the token’s price if demand remains constant or increases. How Does the SHIB Burn Mechanism Work? The SHIB burn mechanism operates through various methods, each contributing to the reduction of the circulating supply: 1. Vitalik Buterin’s SHIB Burn (Largest Burn Ever) At SHIB’s launch, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin was gifted 50% of the total SHIB supply, amounting to 500 trillion SHIB. In May 2021, he burned 90% of his holdings (about 410 trillion SHIB) by sending them to a dead wallet. This remains the largest SHIB burn in history. The remaining 10% was donated to charity, specifically to India’s COVID-19 relief fund. 2. Shibarium and Transaction-Based Burns Shibarium, the Layer 2 blockchain solution for SHIB, includes a built-in burn mechanism. Every time a transaction occurs on Shibarium, a portion of the transaction fees is converted into SHIB and sent to a burn wallet. This method ensures a continuous and automatic burn process, reducing the supply over time as the Shiba Inu ecosystem grows. 3. Community-Driven Burns The SHIB community plays a significant role in burning tokens through: Manual burns by sending SHIB to burn addresses voluntarily. SHIB Burn Portal, which rewards users with RYOSHI tokens for burning their SHIB. Burn contributions from businesses that accept SHIB payments and dedicate a percentage of their earnings to burning tokens. 4. NFT and Metaverse-Based Burns With the introduction of Shib: The Metaverse and SHIB-based NFT projects, a portion of revenue from virtual land sales and NFT transactions is allocated for burning SHIB, further reducing supply over time. Impact of SHIB Burns on Price and Supply The effectiveness of SHIB burning depends on several factors, including burn rate, demand, and overall market conditions. If burns significantly reduce SHIB’s circulating supply, it could create scarcity, leading to potential price increases if demand stays strong. Slow or minimal burns may have little effect on price, especially if large holders keep selling tokens into the market. Community participation and consistent burning mechanisms are crucial for long-term impact. Currently, trillions of SHIB have been burned, but with hundreds of trillions still in circulation, large-scale burns will need to continue for years to make a noticeable impact. Conclusion The SHIB burn mechanism is an essential part of its long-term strategy to reduce supply and increase value. With Shibarium’s transaction burns, community-driven efforts, and NFT/metaverse burns, SHIB’s total supply is gradually decreasing. However, its long-term success will depend on consistent burning and growing adoption within the crypto space. As SHIB continues to evolve, its burn mechanism will remain a key factor in shaping its future price and ecosystem sustainability.

 The price of Bitcoin $BTC has seen significant growth in recent months, with experts predicting that the cryptocurrency may continue to rise and could reach $110,000 in the near future.  This bullish outlook is driven primarily by two key factors: the Federal Reserve's dovish stance on interest rates and former President Trump's flexibility on tariffs.  The Fed’s dovish stance  The Federal Reserve’s shift to a more dovish monetary policy played a key role in pushing up Bitcoin prices.  As the Federal Reserve signals a slowdown in the pace of rate hikes and even possible rate cuts, liquidity flows to risky assets including Bitcoin have increased.  Historically, Bitcoin has benefited from a low interest rate environment as investors seek alternative stores of value.  As the Federal Reserve maintains its loose policy, institutional investors are increasingly looking to Bitcoin as a hedge against potential inflation and economic uncertainty.  Such a shift in monetary policy could lead to a surge in demand for Bitcoin, further pushing its price toward $110,000.  Trump's flexibility on tariffs  In addition to the Fed’s actions, Trump’s stance on tariffs has added another layer of optimism for Bitcoin.  His flexibility in trade talks, particularly with China, signals a possible resolution to trade tensions that have caused market volatility.  If these tensions were eased, broader financial markets could become more stable, driving more capital flows into risk assets, including Bitcoin.  As investors seek safe-haven assets amid global economic uncertainty, Bitcoin's appeal as a store of value will continue to rise.   in conclusion  Bitcoin’s price could surge to $110,000, driven by the Federal Reserve’s dovish stance on monetary policy and Trump’s flexibility on tariffs.  As economic conditions develop and Bitcoin adoption among institutions increases, the cryptocurrency is likely to solidify its position as a major player in global financial markets.  Investors should remain vigilant and pay attention to these developments as they could significantly impact Bitcoin’s long-term price trajectory.  

Conflux says its security team has successfully patched the CREATE2 Opcode vulnerability with version 2.5 network upgrade. The Conflux ( CFX ) Network announced on March 24, 2025 that a security vulnerability detected with the help of ecosystem team GraFun, has been successfully patched. GraFun reportedly identified the critical vulnerability in the CREATE2 opcode, related to the Ethereum ( ETH ) Virtual Machine, in February this year. CREATE2 opcode, introduced in 2019 via Ethereum’s Constantinople upgrade , is an advanced feature for Ethereum and Ethereum Virtual Machine-compatible networks. It plays a key role in smart contracts, particularly in deployment predictability and flexibility. The Conflux team elaborated on this: “In the standard Ethereum Virtual Machine, the CREATE2 opcode fails to deploy a contract if the target address already has a deployed contract, returning a null address. However, the previous implementation of Conflux allowed CREATE2 to redeploy contracts at an address with an existing contract, resetting the contract state to its initial deployment state.” According to Conflux, the security issue is now resolved following Conflux’s version 2.5 upgrade that shipped on March 17, 2025. The flaw, the layer-1 platform noted, “allowed contract redeployment on existing addresses, impacting Gnosis Safe.” The Conflux Network security team has assured users and ecosystem partners that the version 2.5 upgrade has fully addressed the flaw. Conflux disclosed plans for the network upgrade on March 4, 2025, with node operators asked to update accordingly. The platform tentatively scheduled the hard fork for mid-March, with this happening at epoch 118580000. GraFun received a total of 60,000 Conflux tokens for its role in the security upgrade, including a base bounty of 50,000 tokens for identifying the CREATE2 opcode bug. The platform also received 10,000 tokens for offering a timely report that helped prevent potential exploits and losses. In its announcement, Conflux said all user funds are safe and that the network has EVM compatibility enhanced.

The product, built on the World Mobile Chain, a Layer 3 network on Coinbase’s Base , aims to provide a secure, self-sovereign identity framework that allows users to control their personal data without relying on centralized authorities. The initiative aligns with the European Digital Identity Wallet introduced under the eIDAS 2.0 regulation, which aims to standardize digital identity across the EU , according to a press release shared with crypto.news. PwC Italy and SKChain Advisors have completed a feasibility study to determine the optimal SSI framework and are now moving forward with development. The solution will act as a gateway for users to access both traditional and Web3 platforms. SSI technology is gaining traction as a way to enhance data privacy and security while complying with regulations such as the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets framework . According to a company note, the new digital identity product will support authentication, verification, and interactions with digital asset services. This is expected to help enterprises and consumers navigate an increasingly digital economy while ensuring compliance with evolving regulatory standards. “There has been talk for a long time about whether the EU’s digital identity scheme would use blockchain,” Rob Viglione, CEO of Horizen Labs told crypto.news. “The fact this has been confirmed is a positive step forward. The fact it’s using self-sovereign identity technology is also a positive step.” World Mobile Chain, the infrastructure supporting the project, is designed to facilitate blockchain adoption among European businesses. As a Layer 3 protocol on Base, it provides scalability and efficiency for decentralized applications. The digital ID solution will allow companies to implement blockchain-powered identity verification without compromising privacy. Viglione emphasizes the importance of privacy in digital identity systems, stating that: “Users need privacy and security guarantees. Any digital ID scheme should be using zero-knowledge proof technology to ensure data remain ‘usable but invisible.’” The product is expected to streamline digital access across various sectors while giving users greater control over their online identities.

Top trader and blockchain analyst has pinpointed digital identity as a rising sector that could dominate the blockchain industry in the years ahead. The analyst highlighted the opportunities therein, citing adoption potential as a crucial factor toward its growth in the scheme of things. According to the analyst, digital identity has the power to bring a massive influx of users to the blockchain ecosystem. He thinks that only gaming has the potential to bring more users on-chain than digital ID and proof of humanity. The analyst noted that the security proof layer of the blockchain is of utmost importance, justifying why some top blockchain establishments are focusing in that direction. In the meantime, the analyst considered the current value of the digital identity sector, noting that it is undervalued. Beyond its obvious business and market potential, he anticipates a substantial amount of onchain value will be unlocked within the digital ID space. As an example, he mentioned the possibility of bringing the 385 million people in the US onto the blockchain through digital IDs and the immense value that could create for the entire sector.
