Before the No. 54 Committee Proposal takes effect, TRX from on-chain transaction fees was burned by transferring it to the black hole address TLsV52sRDL79HXGGm9yzwKibb6BeruhUzy. After the proposal took effect, the black hole address is no longer used, and burned TRX is directly recorded in the node database. Users can query the amount of TRX burned due to transaction fees since the proposal became effective by this API.

The approximate amount of TRX that was destroyed before the proposal takes effect can be obtained through Balance of Black Hole Address - Initial Value of Black Hole Address Balance. Note: The initial value of the blackhole address balance can be obtained in the node configuration file.

Returns

burnTrxAmount - int64 : Amount of TRX burned, in sun.
