Total ~22.5M tokens, ~5.4% of circulating supply pre-Aug 29 unlocks - now burned. They explicitly draw a line between this and burning foundation-wallet allocation (they hold 38%), calling the latter "deleting monopoly money" since no real capital was spent.
Non-drop 5 next week at 0.75%, the last at that rate; the following four drop to 0.5%.
