Just caught wind that Mantra is planning to burn 160M OM tokens. That's a pretty massive move considering the project's been through the wringer with a 90% price crash. What's interesting is that half of these tokens are coming from the DAO's founder, which shows some actual commitment from the team side.

Token burns are always a bit of a mixed signal though. On one hand, you're reducing supply which theoretically helps price. On the other hand, if the fundamentals aren't there, it's just damage control. For OM specifically, after that kind of crash, they're probably trying to reset some confidence in the market.

The Mantra team burning their own tokens is at least a sign they're not just bailing. Whether it actually moves the needle for OM price recovery is another question. Market's been brutal on this one, so we'll see if this burn actually catalyzes any real recovery or if it's just a symbolic gesture.
