Following four successful burns of 50 million CRO each, this proposal executes a fifth burn of 228,000,000 CRO on the Cronos POS Chain. If passed, this permanently removes another 228 million CRO from circulating supply and brings the total burned to 428 million CRO.
Background: the "Burning Mechanism of CRO" (discussion #941) has been continuously allocating a portion of the CRO generated through emissions to the community pool at the Cronos POS Chain protocol level. The accumulated amount is then periodically burned to complete the cycle. Four burns of 50 million CRO each have been executed to date via proposals #18, #26, #28 and #30, totalling 200 million CRO. This proposal is the fifth, and it is materially larger than those before it: 228 million in a single step. It opens a new page for the ecosystem and follows the successful launch of Ult and Cronos Launch.
Technical details: this is a community pool spend that moves 22,800,000,000,000,000 basecro (228,000,000 CRO) from the community pool to the "dead" address cro1qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqtcgxmv, which no one has control over. That is the same burn address used by all four previous burns. The current pending and burned amount, as well as historical burn events, are on the about CRO page at [Hidden link]. Full proposal text and community discussion: [Hidden link].
Voting: YES approves moving 228,000,000 CRO from the community pool to the dead address and removing this amount from circulating supply. NO disapproves of the proposal in its current form. NO WITH VETO vetoes the entire motivation and is strongly opposed to its implementation. ABSTAIN is impartial to the outcome. If the quorum is not met or more than 1/3 of the participating voting power has voted NoWithVeto, the proposal fails and is considered vetoed, in which case the proposal deposit is burned rather than being returned to respective depositors.
The voting period is 14 days. Quorum is 33.4% of bonded CRO, and more than 50% of non-abstain votes must be Yes. If you delegate and do not vote, your stake inherits your validator's vote, and voting directly overrides it. Nothing burns until a vote passes. On a successful tally the transfer executes automatically at the end of the voting period, with no further action required by any team or individual.
