Purpose of token burn

Every week, Serum buys 68% of the total transaction fees accumulated on its decentralized exchange in circulating SRM and immediately burns the supply.

Fees per transaction depend on the amount of SRM the user holds; the more SRM they have, the less fees they have to pay. The specific fee structure can be found here.

Token burns take a certain amount of tokens out of the circulating supply, directly affecting the supply and demand dynamics of a certain token. Because the overall number of tokens in circulation decreases, tokens become scarcer and thus theoretically boost the value of a cryptocurrency, assuming that the net valuation of the token remains the same. Token burns are known to be an effective deflationary mechanism, but users should also check the overall tokenomics of a certain project as executing token burns does not necessarily mean that the token itself is deflationary.

SRM is ultimately a deflationary token, meaning that its total token supply will gradually decrease through these token burns. However, it should be noted that it constitutes just 0.0025% of the total SRM supply (max supply of SRM) and 0.19% of the current circulating supply.
