Protocol Revenue Burn

Definition

Protocol revenue burn is a deflationary mechanism where a portion of the fees or revenue generated by a decentralized protocol is permanently removed from circulation, effectively reducing the total supply of its native token. This process is executed through smart contracts, sending the designated tokens to an unrecoverable address. The primary objective is to increase the scarcity and potential value of the remaining tokens, benefiting existing token holders. It serves as a method for value accrual for the protocol’s underlying asset.
