BNB burn records don't require browsing third-party stats sites — all historical records are publicly verifiable on-chain. Binance publishes an official announcement each quarter detailing the burn amount and transaction hash. Just take that hash to a block explorer and you can verify the facts yourself. There's no such thing as "can't find it."

Step 1: Find the official announcement and transaction hash for the latest burn
After each quarterly burn, BNB Chain posts a burn announcement on its official blog, including the exact amount burned and the transaction ID (TxID). The 36th burn (July 2026) destroyed 1,615,827.795 BNB, worth about $932 million. After this burn, the remaining total supply is 133,166,127.91 BNB.
What to do:
- Visit the BNB Chain official blog and search for "BNB burn" or "Xth quarterly burn."
- Inside the post or at the bottom, find the TXID link and click it to go directly to the on-chain record.
Completion standard: Get a transaction hash in the format 0x... or a hex string that matches the burn announcement you are checking.
Step 2: Check the burn transaction details on a block explorer
BNB automatic burns are a protocol-level function, and the records are written on the BNB Smart Chain.
- BscScan query: Copy the TxID from Step 1 and paste it into the BscScan search bar. The transaction will show the "to" address as the burn address 0x000000000000000000000000000000000000dEaD — that's the burn record.
- Verify the burn amount: Look for the "burn amount" field on the transaction details page and confirm it matches the number in the announcement.
Common mistake: Some people search "BNB burn" on BscScan and see many transactions but can't tell which one is the official quarterly burn. The TxID given in the official announcement is the only correct answer — don't go digging through unrelated transactions.
High-risk warning: Third-party data sites (like CoinMarketCap, CoinGecko) often have delayed or differently defined "BNB burn data" that may mix real-time burns with quarterly burns. If you want to check a specific quarterly burn, you must use the official announcement plus on-chain verification — don't trust third-party summaries.

Step 3: Understand the different burn types (for advanced troubleshooting)
BNB has more than one type of burn. If you see two different burn figures, first distinguish which type you are looking at.
| Burn Type | Frequency | Trigger | Query Entry |
|---|---|---|---|
| Quarterly Auto-Burn | Once per quarter | Automatic protocol execution, unrelated to the centralized Binance exchange | Official announcement TxID → BscScan |
| Real-Time Burn (BEP-95) | Every block, real-time | Burns a portion of BSC chain gas fees | Third-party community sites like bnb burn.info, or real-time on-chain monitoring |
| Pioneer Burn | Irregular | Compensatory burn for user losses that can be proven | Included in the total quarterly burn; no separate release |
Verification method after completing steps: Copy the burn TxID from the official announcement. On BscScan, confirm the transaction status is "Success," the "to" address is the burn address, and the burned amount matches the announcement. No need to wait or follow up — once recorded on-chain, the record is permanent and valid forever.
