Why Shiba Inu’s new burning portal is important now that it Hits New Milestone with 16 Billion SHIB
Despite only being released on April 23, the Shiba Inu Burn Portal has already surpassed the total SHIB burnt in the initial phases of 2022.
The burn gateway has permitted the destruction of approximately 16 billion SHIB in just over two days. The entire SHIB burn from January to April 22 was only 12.7 billion SHIB.
Here's a closer look at the amazing growth of the Shiba Inu Burn Portal.
Shiba Burn Portal Destroys 16 Billion SHIB
Few anticipated the Shiba flames to spread so swiftly at the end of April, especially after March's 6 billion SHIB burn set a new record for the burning community.
Since the site became online on April 23, SHIB has been sent to one of the three dead wallets, which has already undergone almost 1100 separate burns. On April 25, the portal's greatest individual burn occurred. One location was responsible for the burning of 1.32 billion SHIB, which was worth $32,000. Meanwhile, the portal's average SHIB burn was 13,968,761 SHIB.
Woof!

While many of these burns included individuals destroying SHIB that they had in their wallets, the SHIB portal's 'Buy and Burn' function was also quite popular. Users have been able to buy SHIB through the site and subsequently burn it, resulting in 382 burns totaling 2.9 billion SHIB.
911 addresses have contributed to the burn using the new burntSHIB token.
The incentives it provides SHIB holders through passive income might be one of the likely causes for this burn amount. Burning through the portal qualifies you for RYOSHI awards based on your burn pool percentage.
This might account for the initial burst of burns when the pool is still tiny. However, this implies that subsequent burns will be less severe.
Another possibility is that the SHIB burning community has been revitalized as a result of this more formal burning venue. In the past, Shiba developers have been hesitant to use SHIB burns as a pricing motivator, preferring to use usefulness instead.
However, given the increased demand for burns in the community, a burn gateway might suggest a shift in the team's approach. Indeed, this may persuade some of the burning skeptics to contemplate destroying their tokens.
