New Crypto Asset Cardano (ADA) Is Being Considered for a Burning Mechanism

The Cardano Foundation has recently stated that two of its teams are now working on a mechanism for burning the cryptocurrency.

Conclusion

• It is one of the top five fastest-growing networks in the previous 30 days, according to CoinMarketCap.
• Cardano, if it is implemented, will join the ranks of other cryptocurrencies that have burning characteristics, such as BNB, Ethereum, Luna, and others.
• A token-burning mechanism may be coming to Cardano in the near future. That's what recent status updates indicate, at least according to the information they offer.

Two teams are working on a token burning mechanism, according to the status report, which is part of a new business push to share updates on Cardano's progress every week.

The Adrestia team has been working on a new transaction procedure that would allow token minting and burning, according to the article. Further, the Hydra team is examining possibilities for token minting and burning within a Hydra Head, as well as scenarios in which tokens are used instead of datums, according to the statement.

The foundation looks to be pushing ahead with token burning integration vigorously, as seen by the several teams working on it. To make it easier for other chains to communicate with Cardano, Adrestia was introduced in 2020. In order to make it as simple as possible for developers to use and deploy Cardano, the team built web APIs and frameworks.

Hydra Heads, on the other hand, was recently introduced on the Cardano testnet, despite the fact that the theoretical paper was published last year. Layer 2 techniques to increase network scalability and security are described here.

An asset can be deflationary by a token burn, which permanently eliminates a specific number of the currency from circulation. It's a lot like stock buybacks, and in most cases, it increases the token's value since it makes it more scarce.

One of the five fastest-growing networks in the previous 30 days, according to Santiment statistics. However, the price has yet to reflect the increased value, as it is still available for under a dollar at the time of this writing.

Crypto Assets That Can Be Burned

If you want to make sure that your tokens are scarce, you need to burn them in order to do so effectively. As an example, there's the blockchain-based initiatives BNB and Avalanche.

Almost a year ago, the EIP-1559 update on Ethereum paved the way for the widespread use of this technology. As a result of this, the network has lost an estimated $5 billion in value.

To restrict supply of the asset by 50%, BNB has its own coin-burning method. It features two modes of burning: a quarterly burn and a self-burning mode.

The network has been burning quarterly for some time now, and the most recent burn was in January of this year. Auto-burning BNB, on the other hand, uses the price and number of blocks created in the quarter to decide how much BNB is burnt.

In addition to AVAX and XRP, token-burning methods can be found in AVAX, Shiba, and Luna. In reality, this approach is becoming more and more common in the crypto industry.
