🔥 VERSE Token Burn Vote Ends in Hours
The **$VERSE community** has less than 12 hours to vote on a major token burn proposal that could reshape the cryptocurrency's future. **Key Details:** - Proposal would burn **up to 42% of total supply** over 4 years - Immediate burn of **15-17%** planned between September-December 2025 - Community governance vote determines outcome **Why This Matters:** Token burns typically reduce circulating supply, potentially affecting price dynamics and tokenomics. The scale of this proposed burn - nearly half the total supply - represents a significant structural change. **Voting Details:** - Less than 12 hours remaining - Community members can vote at [vote.verse.bitcoin.com](http://vote.verse.bitcoin.com) - Governance relies on active participation This vote demonstrates **decentralized governance** in action, where token holders directly influence major protocol decisions rather than centralized entities making unilateral changes.
