Token Burning Overview

Token burning permanently removes tokens from circulation by sending them to an unrecoverable address.

What is Token Burning?

Token burning:

  • Permanently removes tokens from the total supply

  • Cannot be reversed once executed

  • Creates verifiable proof of burn on the blockchain

  • Often increases the value of remaining tokens by reducing supply

Why Burn Tokens?

Projects and individuals burn tokens for various reasons:

  • Supply Reduction: Decrease the total supply to potentially increase value

  • Deflationary Economics: Create scarcity by systematically burning tokens

  • Project Milestones: Burn tokens to mark significant achievements

  • Community Initiatives: Allow community participation in burn events
