According To Binance “With the progressive decentralization of the BSC community, v1.1.5 upgrade is a hard fork release that introduces the real-time burning mechanism into the economic model of BSC with the aim to burn more BNB, and speed up the full node sync by more than 60%.”

The concept of the fees-burning mechanism was first introduced by Ethereum, After that, the idea was followed by the Binance coin.

Following ETH and BNB, on December 14th, the developers of the Polygon (MATIC) announced that they are also going to deploy a fee-burning mechanism.

Burning Coins in the form of fees or organized quarterly burning reduces the supply of those coins making them scarcer. So according to the economic rule of demand and supply that scarcity of an asset can direct to price increase.

The continuous burning of tokens also makes coins deflationary. Currently, ETH is leading as a deflationary asset, there were a number of days after ETH fees burning upgrade (EIP-1559), where more ETH was burned than mined.

As far as quarterly burning is concerned BNB is leading the path with 1,335,888 BNB, approximately worth $639,462,868 USD were burned in the 17th BNB quarterly burn. However, Today Binance announced that Going forward, the BNB quarterly burn will be replaced with BNB Auto-Burn to provide greater transparency and predictability to the BNB Community.
