Shiba Inu Shibarium Automatically Burn SHIB January 2025: What You Need to Know
Is Shiba Inu (SHIB) set for a burn frenzy? The Shiba Inu community is buzzing about the transition to automated SHIB burns via Shibarium, the Layer-2 network. Here's a breakdown of what's happening with the automatic burn mechanism starting in January 2025.
Shibarium Taking Over SHIB Burns: The Future is Automated
The Shiba Inu team has confirmed that the Shibarium layer-2 network will commence the burning of SHIB tokens starting from January 2025. This marks a significant shift from manual burns to an automated system, designed to provide a more consistent and predictable reduction in the circulating SHIB supply.
Previously, burning SHIB tokens was often a manual process. The team mentioned that the Shibarium layer-2 will now automate this. The team confirmed in the latest blog that burning SHIB tokens manually will come to a halt this month, effectively setting the stage for the automated Shibarium burn mechanism.
How Will Shibarium Automatically Burn SHIB?
From January 2025, the Shibarium Layer-2 network will take over, automatically burning SHIB tokens. This transition to automated burns is intended to facilitate consistent reductions in the SHIB supply. The exact mechanism involves allocating a portion of transaction fees to the burn process. Specifically, the network will allocate 70% of its base to SHIB burns.
The $25,000 Trigger for SHIB Burns
Shibarium will automatically burn SHIB tokens after charging users a total of $25,000 in total fees. This trigger point ensures that burns are conducted proportionally to network activity, potentially leading to more frequent burns as Shibarium adoption increases.
SHIB Burn Rate and Total Tokens Burned
While the future focus is on automated burns, it's worth noting past efforts. The Shibarium network has burned a total of 1,151,381,964 (1.15 billion) SHIB tokens by the end of May 2025. These burns contribute to a lower overall supply, potentially impacting SHIB's value. The Shiba Inu burn rate is also up 5.12% since last week, reflecting ongoing efforts to reduce the token supply.
Impact on SHIB Growth
The automated burn mechanism is expected to positively impact SHIB's long-term growth. This could allow SHIB to continue to grow in size within the index and reach new numbers by creating scarcity through consistent token burning.
