Fee Burning Models

Fee Burning Models involve allocating a portion of the transaction fees collected by a protocol to be destroyed rather than distributed to validators or treasury. This mechanism effectively converts network usage into direct value for all token holders by reducing supply.

It creates a positive feedback loop where higher network activity leads to increased scarcity. This model is often used to make tokens more attractive as a store of value.

It shifts the economic burden of network security from pure inflation to usage-based fees. This can improve the long-term sustainability of the tokenomics.

It is an important consideration for fundamental analysis, as it directly impacts the net supply growth. The effectiveness of the model depends on the volume of transactions processed by the protocol.
