NodeOps has completed its first official $NODE burn, permanently removing 20,365,011.90 $NODE (3% of the total supply) from circulation. The tokens were sent to a provably irrecoverable Ethereum address, which will serve as the destination for all future burns under NodeOps’ onchain-enforced tokenomics framework.This burn reduces the circulating supply by 18.02%.
This milestone establishes the foundation of NodeOps’ Dynamic Mint & Burn model, designed to balance growth with sustainability. By committing to regular burns tied directly to network revenue, NodeOps reinforces long-term value creation and transparency for $NODE holders. Unlike conventional token burns that rely on community convention, NodeOps enforces burns directly in the token contract, eliminating the possibility of reversals or recoverability.
Naman Kabra, Co-founder and CEO of Nodeops, said “This burn is more than a milestone. By permanently removing $2.2M worth of $NODE, we’re proving that value, trust, and transparency belong onchain — enforced by code. Each burn strengthens the economic backbone of an AI-powered DePIN layer designed to create lasting impact. With this first 20 million $NODE gone forever, we’ve entered a new era of sustainable tokenomics and this is only the beginning”
The official burn address is hardcoded into the $NODE contract and secured against any potential manipulation. As NodeOps Network generates revenue, all future burns will automatically flow to this address, providing a cumulative, auditable record of supply reduction that can be tracked in real time. This marks a significant step in reinforcing $NODE’s long-term value alignment, transparency, and ecosystem sustainability. Today, NodeOps powers a network of 700K+ users with $150M+ in AUM. With 89K+ machines and 24K+ providers connected, the platform has already generated $4.1M+ in revenue, placing it consistently among the top 10 DePIN projects worldwide for revenue growth.
