What is the most heartbreaking phenomenon in blockchain investment? Probably the "rich chain, poor temple" situation.
Take those top-tier DEXs, for example—accumulating countless transaction fees, yet the profits for token holders are minimal, with the majority consumed by Gas fees. Even as the application ecosystem flourishes, this growth often doesn't translate into increased value for the underlying tokens. How can this gap be bridged? Most chains haven't found a solution.
But there's a potential approach worth paying attention to. Some new-generation public chains are starting to use a "burning auction" mechanism to address this issue—sounds unfamiliar, but the logic is quite clear:
**Even with zero Gas fees, deflation still occurs.**
The traditional idea relies on burning Gas to maintain deflation, but this new mechanism directly converts ecosystem revenue into token burns. Revenue comes from transactions, liquidations, and various application-layer activities. As long as the ecosystem operates, deflation is automatically triggered, independent of Gas costs.
In other words, the chain itself becomes the central hub for the token's liquidity value, and a thriving ecosystem is directly reflected in the token mechanism—this is the real way to bind the underlying assets to ecosystem development.

The concept of "a poor chain and a rich temple" really hits home for me. I see DEXs making money every day, but the coin prices are still dead.

Chain poverty and temple wealth are spoken of too absolutely; this problem has troubled me for a long time.

The saying "a poor chain temple and a rich temple" is truly spot on.

ngl this "burn auction" thing sounds like cope trying to fix a broken tokenomics model. let's see the actual data first before the hype cycle kicks in.

All these words are just to maintain the narrative through coin burning.
The ones who can truly make money are always those early adopters who take the plunge.

Chain exhaustion and poverty are too absolute; the Gas black hole really consumes all growth.

Chain is poor but temples are rich, truly a perfect statement. DEX makes a fortune while we lose even our underwear.

Chain poverty, temple wealth—what a perfect way to put it. DEX fees are so high yet not distributed to token holders, which is truly disheartening. This burning auction mechanism sounds reliable; ecological circulation becomes automatic deflation, eliminating the need to worry about Gas costs. It seems to be the right way to solve the token value transmission.

Lianqiong Miao Fu is right, but does this burning auction mechanism really break the deadlock? I always feel like it's just a new bottle of old wine.

Speaking of which, I am truly impressed by this burning auction logic. Finally, someone thought of tackling the revenue side instead of just relying on gas fees. The reason to build a new generation of public chains has one more point: betting that they can truly create a binding effect.
