Cardano (ADA) among latest crypto assets to consider burning mechanism
A new initiative was undertaken by the Cardano team to update about its development every week showing that two teams are working on the development of a token burning mechanism. According to the report, one of the teams is working on finalizing a new transaction workflow that shall add token minting and burning capabilities. Another team is also considering token minting as well as burning within the Hydra Head as well as scenarios where it shall be using tokens rather than datums.
It appears that the company is pursuing this mechanism aggressively as two teams are working on it simultaneously. This mechanism will make the assets deflationary as it shall permanently remove a certain amount of tokens from circulation.
