Welcome to the Moon Burn Update for Moon Week 57. In this post we’ll take a look at all Moon Burns between December 9th and January 5th. We’ll also review the total number of Moons that were burned in 2024 look at how that impacted circulating supply, and at the very end we’ve got a giveaway (yes you can skip straight to the end).
What are Moons:
For the uninitiated Moons are a community and governance token for rCryptoCurrency. They serve many unique purposes such as:
Earning Moons for participation on the sub. (Yes distributions are back) Voting on Community governance for the sub. Burning Moons for a special membership. Approved entities can burn Moons to engage on the sub in the form of events/amas/others. Off-chain earned Moons can be tipped to other Redditors on as an appreciation for their help or contributions on Reddit. (make sure you comment for a Moon Tip)
One of the best ways to keep an eye out for updates about Moons on the sub is to look for Moon Week posts which happen once every 28 days, with Moon Week 57 happening right now!
