Every month, a portion of the RSR supply is burned, a product of the fees primarily generated by the minting and holding of Index DTFs.
For January 2026, 16.M RSR was burned, as noted in the Reserve Telegram channel. The actual burn takes place on February 20, 2026.
Each month, the USD accrued in fees is used to market-buy RSR, before being sent to the furnace / the NULL address.
As Index DTFs grow in size, the burn is expected to accelerate.

The burn is currently carried out manually by multi-sig community participants, and RSR holders can propose different uses for the RSR instead - but for the time being, it is expected most holders will support a burn.
