Crypto Definitions: "Burn"

In cryptocurrency, burning refers to the intentional and permanent removal of tokens from circulation by sending them to an unusable address, often called a burn address, which no one can access. This process reduces the total supply of the token and is commonly used as a deflationary mechanism to help increase scarcity and potentially support the token’s value.

Projects may burn tokens as part of scheduled supply reductions, in response to transaction activity (such as burning a portion of fees), or through buyback-and-burn strategies aimed at rewarding long-term holders. Once burned, the tokens are gone forever and cannot be recovered or used.
