Justin Sun is implementing 100% on chain buyback and burn process for SunPump

Justin Sun recently announced in a new X post that SunPump will be implementing a token burn process with 100% on-chain buyback. 

According to the X post, the community’s previous intentions were to burn LP tokens. However, after a community discussion, a decision to implement the buyback and burn process was finalized. 

Regarding the issue of revenue buyback and burning for @sunpumpmeme , the community previously suggested burning liquidity LP tokens because this approach is used by mainstream meme tokens like SHIB.

“This method is easier to verify, as all fund burn records will be on-chain, making it straightforward and eliminating the need for any explanations.” – Justin Sun on X 

LP token burning is a complex process 

The inspiration to burn LP tokens was taken from other memecoins like Shiba Inu, priced at $0.00001331 per token at press time. 

According to Sun, the increase of “token liquidity depth” is a major advantage of LP token burning. As a result of this, the liquidity will remain “more regulator-friendly” and usable. 

However, due to the complexities of this process, Justin Sun believes that 100% on-chain buyback is an ideal approach. 

Justin Sun has mentioned that the buyback and burn process will start today, on 3rd September. As this process is implemented, all the burned funds will get recorded on the blockchain. This will allow immutable verification.
