Charlie Lee questions Stellar’s burn of 55 billion XLM
Now, Charlie Lee questions the mechanics of the Stellar Development Foundation’s recent burn of 55 billion XLM.
The burn has been dedicated to giveaway programs.
“[The] 50 billion XLMs burned were supposed to be distributed to the community,” he said.
He continued and said that “Stellar Development Foundation only burned 5 billion of their own 17 billion XLMs. This means SDF increased their percentage of total coins from 16% (17/105) to 24% (12/50). And they did this without any community discussions.”
The Foundation said that it burned coins and reduced the total supply due to the fact that it had more coins than actually needed in order to continue the mission of boosting Stellar’s adoption and development.
The burn has been able to cut the total supply of XLM down to 50 billion from 105 billion, according to info coming from the online publication the Daily Hodl.
