YZi Labs announced on the social media platform X that Binance Coin (BNB) is structurally deflationary. The company cited its dual-burn mechanism—Auto-Burn and BEP-95—along with a capped supply of 100 million tokens and over 62.7 million already burned as part of Binance’s decentralized financial infrastructure.
According to Binance’s documentation, BNB’s burn mechanisms are integral to its tokenomics, designed to ensure long-term scarcity and value support. The dual system combines periodic automatic burns (Auto-Burn) with a continuous real-time burn under the BEP-95 standard, linking network usage to supply reduction. This architecture aligns with the vision of embedding value preservation into the core of Binance’s ecosystem.
As per recent reports, Binance states that the Auto-Burn mechanism has removed more than 62.8 million BNB tokens, representing over 30% of the original 200 million supply. The Auto-Burn formula dynamically adjusts burn amounts based on the BNB price and the number of blocks produced in a quarter. This process ensures that as network demand and price rise, the burn effect strengthens, tightening circulating supply.
The BEP-95 standard introduces a real-time burn mechanism that destroys a portion of gas fees in each block, accelerating supply reduction. According to descriptions of BEP-95, 10% of transaction gas fees are automatically burned under this protocol, making supply contraction continuous as network activity scales. This means that even after scheduled burns hit the 100 million cap, the BEP-95 burns tied to network usage will persist, reinforcing deflationary pressure.
Binance is a leading global blockchain ecosystem and digital asset infrastructure provider, operating the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange by volume.

According to Binance’s “About” page, its mission is to be the infrastructure provider for crypto in tomorrow’s world.
