A token burning event is the intentional and permanent removal of a certain quantity of digital tokens from circulation. This process typically involves sending tokens to an unspendable address, making them inaccessible forever. The primary purpose is often to reduce the total supply, which can, under certain economic conditions, increase the scarcity and potentially the value of the remaining tokens. It is a deflationary mechanism.
