Supply & burns: how to check the figures

How to check a BNB supply or burn figure

1. Find the original record. Each quarterly Auto-Burn is announced on the BNB Chain blog with the amount burned, a transaction link and the remaining total supply “at time of writing”. The 36th burn case works through one announcement.
2. Write down the announcement date and the snapshot time as two separate fields; the supply ledger guide shows the columns.
3. Check the scope before adding numbers together: a quarterly event, a cumulative counter and a total that already includes both cannot simply be summed. See Auto-Burn and BEP-95.
4. If two supply snapshots differ by more than the listed burn, record the gap as an unexplained residual until matching records for the same interval explain it.
5. A transfer to a burn address is evidence of a transfer; whether it changes the supply figure is a separate check (what a burn address proves).

Quarterly Auto-Burn and BEP-95 in brief

Quarterly Auto-Burn. According to BNB Chain’s burn announcements, the quarterly amount is set by a formula based on BNB’s price and the number of blocks produced on BSC during the quarter, with the stated aim of reducing total supply to 100,000,000 BNB. The burn is now executed directly on BSC to the address 0x000000000000000000000000000000000000dEaD. The 36th announcement also notes that the formula’s parameters were adjusted after upgrades made BSC produce blocks more frequently.

BEP-95 real-time burn. A separate mechanism burns a share of the gas fees collected in each block as blocks are produced; that share is a governed parameter that can be changed, so check which setting applied to the period you are counting. It runs continuously rather than once a quarter, so its running total and a quarterly Auto-Burn amount describe different flows and different periods.
