The Synthetix team announced in a blog post on Wednesday that starting today, accrued sUSD fees will be burned weekly to decrease debt for stakers. This means that fees will no longer be distributed to users but will be burned weekly to decrease staker debt. When claiming, users will be shown the number of SNX claimed and sUSD debt burned, the team added.
