300,000,000 DHN Permanently Burned
Dohrnii Labs has permanently removed 300 million DHN from previously locked allocations, reducing the maximum supply from 372 million to 72 million DHN.
As part of the transition to DHN v2, Dohrnii Labs has permanently burned 300,000,000 DHN, reducing the maximum supply from 372 million to 72 million DHN.
The tokens were controlled by Dohrnii Labs and reserved under the previous ten-year unlocking schedule. The full amount has now been transferred to the publicly identifiable burn address:
0x000000000000000000000000000000000000dEaD
The burn is publicly verifiable on-chain.
No DHN held by the public, exchanges or other independent holders was affected. The current circulating supply of 17,075,042 DHN remains unchanged.
The burn comes as the DHN v2 migration nears completion, with 99.8% of the circulating supply already successfully migrated to the new contract.
What changed?
The original maximum supply of DHN was 372,000,000 tokens. Under the previous tokenomics, 85.002% of that supply — or 316,207,440 DHN — was allocated to long-term locked reserves.
These tokens were intended to be gradually unlocked over ten years for:
Dohrnii Academy learning incentives
Staking and yield pools
Ecosystem growth and development
Liquidity reserves
Community and governance
The team
Following a review of Dohrnii’s long-term requirements, we concluded that the majority of this reserved supply was no longer necessary.
Dohrnii Labs therefore permanently removed 300,000,000 DHN from these controlled and previously locked allocations. This represents approximately 94.87% of the former locked supply and 80.65% of the original maximum supply.
Following the burn, the maximum supply of DHN is now:
72,000,000 DHN
The current circulating supply remains at 17,075,042 DHN, representing approximately 23.72% of the new maximum supply.
No additional DHN can be minted under the DHN v2 contract. The 72,000,000 DHN maximum supply therefore cannot be increased through additional token issuance.
A proportional reduction across the locked allocations
The burn applies to the categories covered by the previous locked-supply schedule. The allocations for learning incentives, staking, ecosystem development, liquidity, community governance and the team have all been reduced accordingly.
Rather than preserving an unnecessarily large reserve for potential future use, Dohrnii is moving toward a smaller and more focused supply structure that better reflects the ecosystem’s current direction.
The remaining allocations and their updated proportions are documented transparently in the revised Dohrnii whitepaper:

Why we made this change
Tokenomics should reflect realistic needs, not simply preserve allocations because they were established in the past.
The original structure was created during an earlier phase of Dohrnii, when the future requirements of the Academy and the wider ecosystem were more difficult to estimate. As the project has developed, we have gained a clearer understanding of the supply required to support sustainable growth.
The updated structure creates a simpler and more responsible foundation for DHN v2. It permanently removes 300 million DHN that were previously reserved for potential future distribution and provides holders with greater clarity around the long-term supply.
This did not change the balances of existing holders, nor did it create additional tokens for anyone. It was the permanent removal of tokens controlled by Dohrnii Labs that had previously been reserved for future use.
On-chain verification
The full 300,000,000 DHN burn has been completed on Ethereum through two transactions to the following burn address:
Burn address:
0x000000000000000000000000000000000000dEaD
The burn was completed as follows:
Transaction 1. 100 DHN
Transaction hash:
0xf0fb90da1649e9192940da94ba4ff7abd7e002bdb4400e979ec417026017330f
https://etherscan.io/tx/0xf0fb90da1649e9192940da94ba4ff7abd7e002bdb4400e979ec417026017330f
Transaction 2. 299,999,900 DHN
Transaction hash:
0x2b38490bc90cb8faa908d85afee096c6ec804904951e7d4daa37044a58bf141f
https://etherscan.io/tx/0x2b38490bc90cb8faa908d85afee096c6ec804904951e7d4daa37044a58bf141f
Together, these two transactions account for exactly:
300,000,000 DHN
Both transfers and the resulting balance of the burn address can be independently verified on-chain.
Moving forward with greater clarity
With the burn completed, the maximum supply of DHN has been permanently reduced from 372 million to 72 million DHN, with no ability to mint additional tokens.
The updated tokenomics are built around greater transparency, proportionate ecosystem reserves and long-term responsibility.
This adjustment reflects a simple principle:
The future of DHN should be supported by the supply it genuinely needs.
