Shiba Inu Burn Strategy Highlighted By Justin Sun

Shiba Inu, once dismissed as a mere meme coin, continues to exert a surprising influence on the cryptocurrency landscape. Justin Sun, the prominent founder of TRON, recently recognized the Shiba Inu burning style as the SunPump community decides on its own token burning strategy.

On Tuesday, cryptocurrency entrepreneur Sun, whose estimated net worth hovers around $1.5 billion, weighed in on a proposed strategy for SunPump. “Regarding the issue of revenue buyback and burning for @sunpumpmeme,” Sun said, in an X post, “the community previously suggested burning liquidity provider (LP) tokens.” He noted that this tactic is employed by popular meme coins like Shiba Inu.

Sun Recognizes the Effectiveness of Token Burning

Sun outlined the rationale behind the shift in SunPump’s burn strategy, highlighting both the potential benefits and drawbacks of the initial proposal.

“Burning LP tokens has several advantages,” he explained, “including increasing token liquidity depth, allowing the burned liquidity to still be utilized, and being more regulator-friendly.”

However, he acknowledged a significant hurdle: the complexity of the concept. “There is a downside: it’s complicated to explain. Many community members don’t fully understand what LP token burning means, which can lead to misunderstandings.”

Following extensive discussions within the SunPump community, a consensus emerged in favor of a more transparent and readily comprehensible approach. “After discussion,” Sun stated, “the community agreed that a better approach would be to directly implement a 100% on-chain buyback and burn process. This method is easier to verify, as all fund burn records will be on-chain, making it straightforward and eliminating the need for any explanations.”

Community-Driven Decision-Making Plays a Key Role

Sun expressed his personal confidence in the revised strategy, emphasizing its simplicity and transparency. “Personally, I believe this might be the better approach,” he affirmed, “and it will be implemented starting today.”

Shiba Inu’s burning strategy involves manually sending tokens to a “dead” wallet to permanently remove them from circulation. This happens through community events or initiatives, and while it is on-chain, it tends to be driven by community efforts, such as the Shib Torch.

Shiba Inu uses more of a community-driven manual burn, whereas this project is opting for a systematic, automated buyback and burn approach that is easier to verify.

Sun’s X post underscored the growing recognition of Shiba Inu’s innovative approach to tokenomics, particularly its burning mechanism, which has garnered attention for its potential to increase token value and foster community engagement.

Burning tokens can have several benefits, including reducing the circulating supply, increasing scarcity, and potentially driving up the price. Additionally, it can demonstrate a commitment to the long-term health and sustainability of the project.

Token burning reduces supply, but it does not make it deflationary. Burn and Buy-Back” does. Remember this,” Intergovernmental Blockchain Expert Anndy Lian, said on token burning.
