What’s new? The developers of the leading meme token FLOKI will propose to the project’s community to burn 2% of the circulating supply to increase scarcity and improve network security. If the proposal is approved, 190 billion FLOKI worth over $11 million will be burned. The destruction will be accomplished by sending the coins to a crypto wallet without an owner.
