Sustainability depends on whether burn rates are tied to real utility growth rather than arbitrary supply reduction. Review what drives burns—transaction fees, protocol activity, or governance decisions—and whether demand scales with network usage. Unsustainably high burns deplete supply quickly but may fail if usage doesn’t keep pace. Check if burns adjust dynamically (percentage-based) rather than fixed schedules. Compare projected annual burn to emissions and unlocks; if net supply still inflates, burns are cosmetic. Transparent on-chain reporting is critical. Sustainable models align burn with durable revenue streams, ensuring that reductions reflect organic adoption, not marketing optics.
