Dogs (DOGS), Notcoin (NOT) completed first token burn, billions of tokens destroyed
Today, Oct. 9, 2024, at 1:00 p.m. UTC, the teams of Dogs (DOGS) and Notcoin (NOT), TON-based cryptocurrencies, initiated inaugural token burn events. In total, over $4 million in DOGS, NOT equivalent were destroyed for good.
About half an hour ago, team representatives confirmed that both events were successfully completed. Dogs' (DOGS) supply was reduced by 4,782,643,870 coins, which is close to 0.8% of its aggregated circulating offering.
The event was live-streamed for over 100,000 viewers, which likely makes this burn one of the most tracked crypto events.
For Dogs (DOGS), a TON competitor of SHIB and DOGE, this event is the final phase of a hotly anticipated airdrop. Once airdrop participants claimed their takes, the community decided to share the remaining liquidity between charity initiatives, further development funding and a token burn program.
A total of 6,067,155,960 DOGS were spent on charity, and 7,021,719,223 DOGS will be used for future development initiatives, while the rest of the remaining coins were transferred to a destroy address.
