AgentLayer Announces a New Token Burn Round: 9.4 Million $AGENT Tokens Permanently Removed from Circulation

The decentralized AI Agent ecosystem platform AgentLayer has recently announced the latest progress of its token management plan. It has revealed that, through a burn and secure freeze mechanism, a total of 9,393,514 $AGENT tokens (0.9% of the total supply) have been permanently removed from circulation.
Token Removal Details
1. Regular Burn Plan: Through the protocol's monthly income buyback burn plan, 2,393,514 $AGENT tokens have been permanently burned. This action aligns with AgentLayer's deflationary tokenomics design, aimed at increasing token scarcity by reducing the supply to create long-term value for ecosystem participants.
2. Secure Freeze Measure: In response to a recent security incident at the Phemex exchange, 7,000,000 $AGENT tokens have been permanently locked to a blockchain-verifiable black hole address due to association with abnormal addresses. These tokens are irreversibly removed from circulation, with on-chain records publicly accessible for verification.
Transparency and Strategic Logic
All operations are immutably recorded on the blockchain, and transaction details can be verified at https://dune.com/agentlayer/overview. The burn and freeze processes have undergone rigorous audits to ensure compliance with security standards and community governance principles (example burn address: [$Agent Burner: 0xDa746A4e2cf95703c60C9fa6289c47AC70F6C578]).
Core Strategic Goals:
1. Deflationary Mechanism: Offsetting inflationary pressure by burning tokens to synchronously optimize the token supply with ecosystem growth;
2. Risk Isolation: Freezing abnormal tokens to safeguard ecosystem security and maintain market confidence.
Future Plans and Ecosystem Development
AgentLayer will continue to advance AI-driven decentralized applications, with key focuses including:
· Enhancing AI Agent tokenization and trading capability through PumpAgent;
· Providing a comprehensive development framework through AgentStudio, supporting the industry's first Model Context Protocol (MCP) to streamline AI Agent development and deployment.
· Expand cooperation with top security audit firms and exchanges to enhance ecosystem resilience;
· Enhance the utility value of the $AGENT token through innovative incentive mechanisms to drive ecosystem participation.
Upcoming April Joint Airdrop
AgentLayer will collaborate with PumpAgent and Ladyluck to launch a highly anticipated airdrop event, bringing new opportunities to ecosystem participants.
