It is the purpose of the Protection Breed to “enhance SHIB’s transparency,” as well as “guard the network from any malevolent activities or individuals.” A bit quicker than Ethereum’s burn price, the shiba inu (SHIB) service is now consuming tokens at a very high rate of price burns.
SHIB has been burnt at an incredible 26,592 percent in the last 24 hours, according to data from Shibburn.com. There were 745 million SHIB burned on a single day on March 14 due to the burn price of SHIB increasing by 6,700%. Since yesterday, the Ethereum network has destroyed 4,098 ether, to provide some context. At $13.2 million, Ethereum’s 24-hour value burnt is much more priceless. The value of SHIB’s 1.4 billion tokens burnt is $34,554.
59,998,118 SHIB (or $1,448 at today’s SHIB trading price) was burnt at only three addresses in the last five hours. SHIB has had a less-than-ideal week since the meme-token has lost 7.6% of its value in the last week. In the last 12 months, however, SHIB has gained 39,795 percent against the US dollar.
In terms of market value, SHIB trails only dogecoin as the second most valuable meme asset (DOGE). While DOGE has a market capitalization of $19.1 billion, the market capitalization of SHIB is $13.2 billion, placing it 15th out of 13,617 cryptocurrencies. In agreement with SHIB’s key stakeholders, the Protection Breed is expected to be responsible for assessing potential partners, partnerships, and new projects.
Trophias, a SHIB employee, explained why the SHIB burn portal is so important in a blog post on the Protection Breed. While we’re always looking for new ways to burn SHI via usefulness, Trophias remarked at the time that “burning SHIB is a vital part of the system.”
