Flare will burn 2.1 billion FLR tokens

The Flare data blockchain team will burn 2.1 billion FLR tokens to support the development of the ecosystem.

“More than 2% of the total FLR supply will be permanently removed from circulation, preventing erosion of token ownership among the community and increasing incentives for new users to join the network,” the statement said.

The assets scheduled to be burned were allocated to early adopters of Flare. They will no longer be distributed after the company reached an agreement with these organizations regarding how the blockchain improvement proposal (FIP.01) should affect the distribution of tokens to shareholders.

198,880,170 FLR will be burned immediately, another 66,293,390 will be burned monthly until January 2026.

Flare CEO Hugo Filion said:

“We are pleased to have reached an agreement with our shareholders and thank them for their support. It is correct that the distribution of investor tokens should also be affected by the changes implemented in FIP.01. Without this, investors could claim roughly three times their initial distribution through FlareDrops, which would unfairly dilute the community’s stake.”

According to Filion, the number of tokens burned represents almost 40% of the original volume allocated to investors.

At the time of writing, the FLR token is trading at $0.009329, according to Coinmarketcap.
