One of the ways in which Avalanche could continue to sustain AVAX’s growth would be the burning of AVAX tokens. According to data provided by Avalanche Explorer, the protocol burned a total of 2.5M tokens at press time.
When a transaction happens on the Avalanche network, it burns the transaction fee, sending it to an irretrievable address. This burning mechanism has several purposes, such as reducing inflation and enhancing the scarcity of AVAX tokens as time progresses.
